“Hi! I’m Vlasta, an EMDR therapist, and I’m here to support you through life’s challenges. I specialize in helping adults and kids (ages 5 and up) heal from trauma, anxiety, PTSD, phobias, addiction, and the struggles that come with life transitions and relationships. Whatever you’re going through, I believe that with the right support, you can choose how you move through it. My goal is to help you feel grounded in the present while gently exploring the past to create lasting healing.

Trauma isn’t just about what happens to us; it’s about how our bodies and minds respond. Often, traumatic experiences aren’t fully processed by our nervous system, and they can feel like they’re stuck in time, replaying over and over. EMDR therapy is a powerful tool to help us get “unstuck” and begin the healing process. It’s not just about relieving symptoms; it’s about uncovering and understanding the deeper patterns that may have been influencing your life without you realizing it. My goal is to empower you to break free from those old patterns and start living life on your own terms.

On a personal note, I believe that my diverse life experiences help me connect with my clients in a meaningful way. I am originally from Ukraine, was a competitive gymnast from a young age, coached gymnastics for 15 years, and even tried boxing for fun in my 20s! Along the way, I’ve worked in entertainment, education, and the service industry, and have navigated my own healing journey. I’ve also learned a lot by being a mom. These experiences have given me a unique perspective, and I truly believe they help me connect with my clients on a deep level.

I enjoy doing EMDR therapy with adult and kid clients (age 5 and up). With my background in competitive gymnastics, I’ve been helping children navigate anxiety and phobias related to sports for years. I specialize in EMDR for children, supporting parents and  kids, and guiding them through life’s challenges.

Please feel free to reach out—I’d love to learn how I can support you in your journey toward healing.“
