Therapy for adult women who are tired of just surviving

If you’re holding it together for everyone else but privately falling apart, you’re in the right place. You’re juggling trauma, big emotions, and relationships that swing between too close and too distant. You want things to feel calmer and less confusing—for your body, your brain, and your relationships.

You don’t need the perfect words or a polished story. Start with whatever you’ve got.

Hey, if you’re here, something in you is done pretending you’re “fine.” You’re juggling old trauma, intense emotions, and relationship patterns that keep replaying no matter how hard you try to change. You overthink, shut down, explode, or numb out—and then beat yourself up for it. You’re not the problem; your nervous system has been in survival mode for a long time.

What I do best

I work exclusively with adult women whose struggles go deeper than “just stress.” Maybe it’s trauma, BPD, anxiety, depression, or attachment wounds that show up as clingy one minute and shut down the next. You’ve tried coping skills, podcasts, maybe even therapy before—but you’re ready for something more focused and honest.

I offer intensive, individualized online therapy using:

  • Brainspotting to process trauma without retelling every detail

  • Somatic tools to help your body finally feel less on edge

  • DBT‑informed skills so you can handle emotions, relationships, and boundaries in real life

If you’re reading this thinking, “Yep, that’s me,” you’re in the right place to say it out loud.

How therapy works with me

In our first few sessions, we slow down and really get to know your story. We’ll look at your history, current stress, and relationship patterns, review any diagnoses, and notice how everything lands in your body—not just on paper. Together, we set a trauma baseline so we both understand what “overwhelmed” looks like for you.

From there, sessions stay focused and collaborative. We blend Brainspotting, somatic work, DBT‑style skills, and attachment‑based therapy. Less venting in circles, more noticing patterns, processing what your body is holding, and practicing new ways of responding so you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control.

This might be you if…

  • You’re the “strong one” but feel one small thing away from shutting down or snapping.

  • Your relationships feel all‑or‑nothing: too close, too distant, never secure.

  • You’ve been told you’re “too sensitive,” “too much,” or “the problem” in conflicts.

  • You suspect trauma, BPD, ADHD, or autism are in the mix and want clarity, not shame.

  • You want therapy that actually changes how you feel in your body and in your relationships.

If you’re nodding along, you’re not overreacting—you’re overwhelmed, and that deserves support.

Services at Out Of The Box Counseling

You don’t need a menu of every diagnosis under the sun. You need to know, “Can you actually help with the stuff I’m dealing with?” Here’s how I show up.

Intensive Online Therapy for Adult Women

This is for you if you’re done just coping and want to actually work on the trauma, BPD, and attachment stuff that keeps blowing up your life. We meet online if you’re in Florida or South Carolina, and we go deeper than “how was your week?”

We use Brainspotting, somatic tools, DBT‑style skills, and attachment‑based work to help your nervous system feel safer, your emotions feel less like a tidal wave, and your relationships feel less chaotic and confusing. 

Brainspotting Consultation for Therapists (Coming Soon)

This is the space for therapists who learned Brainspotting but feel a little stuck using it with real, complex humans—especially folks with trauma and BPD traits. We slow down, talk through your cases, your own reactions in the room, and how to make Brainspotting feel natural in your style instead of like a script you’re trying to remember.

Clinical Supervision for RMHCI – Florida (Coming Soon)

For Florida registered interns who want supervision that’s real and honest, not just “Did you hit your hours?” We’ll talk about the hard cases, your boundaries, your documentation, and what it means to be a whole person doing this work without burning yourself out. I don’t provide sites or clients, but I do help you think through the work you’re already doing.

ADHD & Autism Evaluations for Adults (Coming Soon)

If you’ve been wondering “Is it ADHD? Autism? Trauma? All of the above?” this is for you. We’ll use structured tools and conversation to get a clearer picture of how your brain and nervous system actually work, and what that means for your day‑to‑day life. Because this is a masters‑level evaluation, some places may still need a full neuropsych, and I’ll be straight with you about that.

Telehealth Services

You deserve support that actually fits your life, not the other way around. I offer therapy online only for adult women who are physically in Florida or South Carolina at the time of session.

We meet by secure video, so you can show up from your couch, your parked car, or any private spot where you feel comfortable. No commute, no waiting room, no explaining to anyone where you’re going—just a protected space where we can focus on what’s really going on for you.
