Online EMDR & IFS Therapy in Texas, Washington & Florida
For thoughtful, high-functioning adults who understand their patterns intellectually, but feel emotionally stuck repeating them
Are you ready to stop managing symptoms and start addressing the root?
You may appear capable, responsible, and self-reliant on the outside. You are often the one others lean on. Yet internally, you may notice a familiar pattern:
- You monitor other people’s reactions and adjust yourself to avoid disapproval
- You feel responsible for maintaining harmony at your own expense
- You struggle to set boundaries without guilt or anxiety
- You find yourself drawn to relationships that leave you drained
- You know what you “should” do differently — but something keeps you stuck
At some point, coping stops feeling like enough.
When Insight Isn’t Enough
Many of my clients begin trauma therapy with significant self-awareness.
- You understand why you overextend.
- You can trace your people-pleasing to early attachment experiences.
- You recognize how anxiety developed in past relationships.
The problem is not awareness.
Insight alone does not rewire the nervous system.
Knowing why you react does not dissolve the fear of disapproval, the pull toward familiar dynamics, or the guilt that surfaces when you try to set boundaries.
This is where deep trauma therapy becomes essential.
Using EMDR and IFS, we move beyond intellectual understanding and work directly with the memory networks and protective parts still driving these patterns.
Change happens not because you understand more, but because your internal system shifts.
What Actually Creates Change
You cannot reason your way out of something your body learned for protection.
In trauma therapy:
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) helps process the earlier experiences that shaped your current reactions.
- IFS (Internal Family Systems) allows us to work with the protective parts that continue to manage fear, guilt, perfectionism, or over-responsibility.
As those experiences are processed and those parts are understood, your reactions begin to shift naturally.
You no longer have to force yourself to behave differently.
Your system recalibrates.
That is healing at the root.
About The Therapist
Hi, I am Anu.
I am a trauma therapist licensed in Texas, Washington State, and Florida.
I am an EMDRIA-approved consultant and advanced IFS-trained therapist. My work focuses specifically on complex relational and developmental trauma, particularly in adults who have learned to survive by over-functioning, over-accommodating, or minimizing their own needs.
Many of my clients are independent high achieving professionals and caregivers who are used to holding things together for everyone else. They are often insightful individuals who have done therapy before, but are ready for deeper trauma focused therapy.
Our work is collaborative and thoughtfully paced. We build regulation and internal safety while actively processing the experiences that shaped your patterns.
This is deep trauma therapy designed to support meaningful lasting, transformation, not just short-term relief.
How can I help?
People Pleasing
You may have learned to earn safety through being agreeable, accommodating, and emotionally attuned to others. Over time, this can leave you exhausted and resentful.
In trauma therapy, we work with the protective parts that feel responsible for everyone else’s comfort and gently process the earlier experiences that made those strategies necessary.
The goal is not to become less caring, but to become more internally anchored.
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety and depression often reflect unresolved relational trauma, chronic self-criticism, or attachment wounds.
EMDR trauma therapy helps reprocess distressing memories that continue to activate anxiety.
IFS helps soften the inner critic and fearful parts.
Over time, your nervous system learns a new baseline.
Relationship Issues for Individuals
You may find yourself reevaluating your relationships, wondering if you should stay or go, or noticing patterns that keep pulling you toward the same toxic dynamics.
Through IFS, we uncover the protective parts of you that accept or seek out unhealthy relationships, and through EMDR, we reprocess past wounds that drive these patterns. This creates space for healthier, more fulfilling connections.
Childhood Trauma and Relationship PTSD
Early emotional neglect, chronic invalidation, or toxic relationships can leave lasting imprints, hypervigilance, emotional numbing, self-doubt, or relational anxiety.
EMDR trauma therapy allows the brain to reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer feel overwhelming.
IFS helps you connect compassionately with younger parts that still carry pain.
Healing at this level reduces reactivity and increases internal stability.

What to Expect?
We meet online via secure video sessions, typically once per week for regular sessions.
Our work is collaborative, intentional, structured, and focused on meaningful internal shifts, not endless talking without change.
We move at a pace that supports regulation while actively processing underlying experiences. Therapy unfolds over time as we build internal safety and create meaningful change at the root.
The goal is not simply to feel better temporarily.
It is to:
- Relate differently

What are your fees? Do you accept insurance?
I am a private-pay, out-of-network provider and do not accept insurance directly.
Many insurance plans offer out-of-network benefits, which may reimburse a portion of the session fee. I can provide a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company if you wish.
Private-pay therapy allows us to focus fully on your needs without diagnostic restrictions, session limits, or treatment constraints imposed by insurance companies.
