You Remember a Time When Life Felt Lighter…
A time when you felt confident, grounded, and connected to yourself. But somewhere along the way, something shifted. Maybe it was trauma, a toxic relationship, or a major life transition that shook your sense of safety. Suddenly, you’re overwhelmed, questioning everything, and wondering how you drifted so far from the person you used to be.
For many, it starts subtly—a slow unraveling.
For others, everything changes in one painful moment.
Now you’re doing your best to hold it together, but inside… it feels like you're losing yourself.
Trauma Can Leave You Feeling:
Emotionally exhausted—unsure when relief will finally come.
Broken or “not enough,” even when you know you’re trying your hardest.
Confused and disconnected from your own intuition and desires.
Alone, misunderstood, or like no one truly sees what you’re carrying.
On edge—wishing you could just escape your own thoughts or body.
Stuck replaying painful moments you desperately want to move past.
Overwhelmed by emotions that feel too big and impossible to regulate.
You’re not broken. You’re overwhelmed—and you don’t have to heal alone.
My work integrates trauma-informed care, somatic therapy, EMDR, and attachment-based approaches to help you reconnect with yourself, rebuild emotional safety, and finally feel grounded again.
When Your Relationship Is Struggling, Everything Feels Harder
Maybe your relationship started beautifully—full of hope, passion, and connection. But lately, it feels like everything has changed. Conversations turn into arguments. Intimacy feels distant. You’re walking on eggshells or shutting down completely just to avoid conflict.
Couples Therapy Can Support You If:
You keep having the same arguments with no real resolution.
The emotional connection you once relied on feels like it’s slipping away.
Intimacy, trust, or closeness has faded—and you miss what you used to have.
A simple conversation turns into tension, misunderstanding, or disconnection.
You feel like you’re on different pages and can’t seem to find your way back to each other.
With Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), attachment-informed guidance, and a compassionate space to reconnect, I help couples understand their negative cycles, repair emotional injuries, and rebuild a relationship that feels safe, supportive, and deeply connected.
If Any of This Feels Familiar… We Should Talk
You deserve healing that is gentle, effective, and honored at your pace.
Whether you’re healing trauma, rebuilding your sense of self, or trying to repair your relationship, you don’t have to navigate this alone.
Your healing starts with one conversation.
Let’s begin your journey back to clarity, connection, and emotional peace.
Hi, I’m Shuriee — And I’m Here to Help You Transform Your Life
If you’re looking for a therapist who shows up real, grounded, and completely human… you’re in the right place. I’m not here to sugarcoat, tiptoe, or avoid the hard stuff. I’m here to help you heal it.
I specialize in trauma, relationships, attachment wounds, intimacy, identity, and the deep emotional patterns that keep you stuck. And yes—nothing is off-limits in our work together. Trauma, sex, money, power dynamics, privilege, shame, big emotions… we can talk about all of it. This is a judgment-free space designed for honesty, connection, and real growth.
I bring my authentic self into the therapy room—warm, intuitive, direct, and human. Sometimes that looks like humor, sometimes it’s compassionate truth-telling, and sometimes it’s holding space for the parts of you that have never felt seen before. And yes… I might drop the occasional curse word. Because I’m real, and I want you to feel safe being real too.
A Body-Based, Holistic Approach to Healing
I deeply believe healing happens in the mind and the body. That’s why I integrate:
Somatic therapy
Movement + mindfulness
Yoga-informed practices
Nervous system regulation tools
So don’t be surprised if I show up in yoga gear ready to help you release what talk therapy alone can’t touch. You just show up as you are—I’ll guide you the rest of the way.
The Work We Do Together
In our sessions, we’ll explore the patterns, wounds, and unmet needs that are shaping your life and relationships today. We’ll look at how past experiences influence your triggers, your emotions, your reactions, and even the way you love.
I’m especially passionate about working with individuals and couples who are ready for deep, meaningful change—not surface-level fixing, but real transformation. If you’re open to exploring approaches beyond traditional talk therapy, we’ll work beautifully together.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Healing is brave work—and you deserve someone who is fully invested in your growth, your clarity, and your emotional peace. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, connected, and empowered in your life or relationship, I’m here to walk with you every step of the way.
If your heart is saying “I’m ready”…
let’s begin.
Specializing in:
Trauma Therapy
Trauma shows up in so many ways—sometimes in ways you don’t even recognize. Maybe you’ve told yourself, "It wasn’t that bad," because you compare your experiences to others who, in your mind, had it worse. But then, when you really reflect on your past and how it has shaped you, it hits you—you have been carrying trauma. And now, it’s showing up in your daily life, in your relationships, in the way you see yourself and the world around you.
You don’t have to live this way. You don’t have to let trauma define you. Let me help you heal, break free from its grip, and reclaim the life you deserve.
Couples Therapy
In the beginning, everything felt so good. You and your partner were in sync—hardly any arguments, a deep connection, an amazing sex life. But then… life happened. Slowly, things started to shift. Communication isn’t as easy as it once was. The connection feels distant. Intimacy has dwindled.
I want to help you and your partner find your way back to each other. Together, we’ll rebuild communication, establish healthy boundaries, and create space for both of you to show up as your own person within the relationship. When both partners feel seen, heard, and empowered, connection deepens—and yes, that includes bringing back the passion and intimacy, too.
Let’s work together to strengthen your relationship, reconnect, and create something even better than before.
Therapy Approaches:
EMDR
EMDR supports the brain in reprocessing distressing experiences so the emotions attached to them soften and lose their power. What once felt overwhelming becomes something you can remember without reliving.
EMDR Intensives are designed for people with full schedules who still want powerful, effective healing. If weekly therapy feels too slow—or life doesn’t allow you to come in consistently—an intensive gives you the extended time and focus you need to make real progress.
EFT Couples Therapy & Couples Intensives
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is all about helping you and your partner understand each other on a deeper level. Instead of just focusing on surface-level issues—like who said what in an argument—EFT gets to the root of your disconnection.
Maybe you and your partner keep having the same fights over and over again, feeling unheard, misunderstood, or distant. EFT helps you break those negative patterns and replace them with new ways of communicating that bring you closer instead of pushing you apart.
Relationships thrive when both partners feel secure, valued, and emotionally connected. EFT helps you create that foundation so your relationship can not only heal but grow stronger than ever.
Somatic Therapy is a body-based approach that helps you release stored stress, trauma, and emotional tension. Instead of staying stuck in your head, somatic work brings you back into your body—so you can feel calmer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself. It will help calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety and overwhelm, helps release stored trauma, build emotional regulation and inner safety, supports deeper self-awareness and connection. Somatics is ideal for anyone feeling stressed, disconnected, overwhelmed, or “stuck” in talk therapy. It’s especially helpful for trauma survivors, anxious or shut-down clients, and anyone wanting a more mindful, embodied way of healing.
