EMDR and TraumaTherapy serving Fairfax, Virginia
You came into this world with a sense that you were different and don’t belong. You felt unseen, unloved, and neglected. Somewhere early on, life felt lonely, and your day-to-day existence felt disregarded by the people in your life who were supposed to love you unconditionally.
* You still carry the pain of everything you experienced which now feels like it’s too much to bear.
* You learned to look and to be strong because strength was the only thing that felt reliable although exhausting.
* You are not broken and you are good enough. You just had to learn to function before anyone ever taught you that needing someone and having your needs met was allowed. You are significant.
Begin Your Journey Forward
You carried that armor for years because the world taught you survival before it taught you love. Today you start the journey of standing in your truth, setting the armor down piece by piece, discovering that your needs matter and you voice deserves to be heard. You take the next step, not as someone broken, but as a someone reclaiming their worth, and her right to be truly seen.
This is where the real work begins, the work of finally putting your needs first after a lifetime of putting everyone else's needs ahead of your own. You start to recognize your worth in small moments, a boundary you hold, a feeling you name out loud, a need you finally ask to have met. Each step feels unfamiliar at first, because trusting yourself takes practice when you spent so long trusting only your ability to endure.

Something brought you here today.
Maybe you're not entirely sure how to name it yet. A heaviness that's been with you for a long time. A pattern that keeps showing up no matter how hard you try. A sense that something underneath the surface has never quite healed and now you are ready to. Whatever brought you here today, I'm glad you found your way.
Hi, I'm Robin.
I help adults finally find their sense of self after experiences of abuse, neglect, or parental relationships that left them feeling like they were somehow not enough.
When a caregiver such as a mother or father criticizes you, wants you to be perfect, or holds unrealistic expectations rooted in their own childhood wounds, life can be hard and that hardship continues to be emotionally challenging even in adult years. When I work with clients who have had these experiences and carry the belief that they are less deserving, a disappointment or who have spent a lifetime sacrificing their own needs for others, it is refreshing to see them shift to a feeling of "I do matter". Witnessing that moment and seeing the client recognize their own strength in it is a gift.
My Specialties
EMDR Therapy
The body remembers what the mind tries to forget. EMDR works with that memory directly, guiding the nervous system toward release. Pain loosens its hold, and the body finally learns it's safe to let go of the lingering distress it took for normal.
Attachement-Focused
EMDR Therapy
Attachment is the bond that forms between a child and their earliest caregivers, shaping how safe or unsafe closeness feels. That bond becomes the blueprint for every relationship that follows. Attachment-Focused EMDR works with that blueprint directly, helping you understand its roots and reshape it.
Intensive EMDR Therapy
EMDR Intensives create a protected space to release what's been held onto, giving your mind and body room to process what's been unresolved. This format offers concentrated time and attention, letting real shifts happen without rushing the process.
