EMDR THERAPY IN HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES
Online trauma therapy for people who are ready to feel less reactive, less overwhelmed, and more at home in themselves.
You may be holding a lot beneath the surface: anxiety, old relational wounds, burnout, perfectionism, creative pressure, or the lingering effects of experiences you have tried to move on from but still feel in your body.
Maybe you’ve already spent time trying to understand your patterns. You can name why you react the way you do, but still find yourself shutting down, overthinking, people-pleasing, or bracing for something to go wrong.
I offer trauma-informed online EMDR therapy and EMDR intensives for clients in Hollywood and throughout Los Angeles who are ready for deeper, nervous-system-centered healing.
You might benefit from EMDR therapy if…
✔ You feel emotionally activated by situations that “shouldn’t” feel so big
✔ You replay conversations, relationships, or mistakes long after they happen
✔ You struggle to relax, receive support, or trust that things are okay
✔ You often feel responsible for other people’s moods, needs, or reactions
✔ You find yourself fawning, shutting down, overworking, over-explaining, or becoming self-critical
✔ You feel disconnected from your body, emotions, creativity, or sense of self
✔ You keep repeating relationship patterns you can understand but can’t seem to shift
✔ You grew up in environments where you had to adapt, mask, manage, or stay small
✔ You appear capable and composed, but internally feel anxious, exhausted, or overwhelmed
✔ You want therapy that helps you process what still feels unresolved
Flowing Springs offers online therapy in Hollywood and throughout Los Angeles for adults navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, creative stress, neurodivergence, attachment wounds, relationship patterns, and emotional overwhelm.
Therapy in Hollywood for Trauma, Anxiety & Creative Burnout
Living in Los Angeles can come with a particular kind of pressure to perform, produce, adapt, and keep moving. For many people, that pressure sits on top of older wounds: family dynamics, relational trauma, chronic stress, perfectionism, masking, or experiences that taught your nervous system to stay alert.
Therapy can help you understand how those patterns developed while also giving your body and mind new ways to respond. The goal is not to become a more polished version of yourself. It’s to feel more grounded, honest, and connected to who you are beneath the coping strategies.
You do not need to wait until you are in crisis to begin therapy. Many people seek support because they are functioning well on the outside while privately feeling anxious, disconnected, resentful, shut down, or emotionally drained.
EMDR THERAPY & INTENSIVES
EMDR can help your brain and body process what still feels stuck, so the past does not keep shaping the present.
EMDR therapy can be especially helpful when you have talked through your experiences, gained insight, or developed coping skills, but still feel emotionally pulled back into old responses.
Instead of focusing only on changing your thoughts, EMDR supports the brain and nervous system in reprocessing painful or overwhelming experiences. Over time, memories, triggers, and beliefs that once felt intense or defining may begin to feel less charged.
EMDR may support healing from trauma, anxiety, relationship wounds, childhood experiences, burnout, perfectionism, people-pleasing, creative blocks, chronic stress, and beliefs like “I’m not safe,” “I have to earn love,” “I’m too much,” or “I can’t trust myself.”
My approach to EMDR is collaborative, relational, and paced with care. I integrate attachment-focused therapy, Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and somatic practices to support healing that feels both emotionally meaningful and sustainable.

An EMDR intensive may be a supportive option if:
You want focused time to process trauma, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm
Weekly therapy has helped, but you’re ready for deeper momentum
You keep circling the same memories, triggers, beliefs, or relationship patterns
You want a more concentrated format that works with your schedule
You are navigating burnout, a transition, a rupture, grief, or a period of heightened stress
You feel like your mind understands the past, but your body still responds as if it is happening now
You want space to move beyond insight and into deeper emotional processing
You are ready to reconnect with yourself, your creativity, your relationships, or your sense of direction
EMDR intensives offer longer, more focused time for therapeutic work. This can allow us to follow important material with more continuity instead of pausing just as something begins to open up.
Online EMDR intensives are available for clients in Hollywood, Los Angeles, and throughout California. Intensives are available in-person at my office in Los Feliz.
