Hi, I’m Rubi!

Trauma-informed EMDR therapist serving Utah and Texas through Telehealth.

Most people who reach out to me aren’t in crisis — they’re just worn down.

It’s usually late at night when it hits. When the house is quiet. When the distractions stop working. Your mind keeps going even though your body is tired. You wonder why you still feel this way when you’ve tried so hard to be okay.

A lot of my clients tell me:
“I’m tired of feeling like this.”
“I don’t feel confident in myself.”
“I keep falling back into the same patterns.”
“I know better… so why can’t I change?”

And underneath all of it is this quiet belief: maybe I’m just not good enough.

If that sounds familiar, I want you to know — that belief didn’t come from nowhere. And it didn’t come because you failed.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, infertility-related trauma, relationship betrayal, and the kind of trauma that doesn’t always look obvious — but lives in the body as tension, shutdown, overthinking, people-pleasing, or emotional numbness.

Many of the people I work with are capable, thoughtful, high-functioning. On the outside, they’re doing life. On the inside, they feel disconnected from themselves and tired of holding it all together.

That’s because trauma isn’t just something you think about. It’s something your nervous system learned while you were living in survival-mode.

In our work together, using EMDR and trauma-informed therapy we slow things down enough for your body to finally feel safe. We don’t force insight, we don’t spiritually bypass, we don’t use toxic positivity and we don’t push healing. We work at a pace that actually creates deeply-rooted change within the nervous system.

Over time, people often notice they’re not fighting themselves.
They trust themselves more.
They feel steadier in their body.
Old coping patterns start to loosen.
Relationships feel different — healthier, more honest, and authentic.
They start to genuinely believe, maybe for the first time, “I matter. I’m worthy of care. I’m allowed to feel good in my life.”

This work isn’t about fixing you.
It’s about helping you become the best version of yourself that you feel proud of.

If you’re looking for EMDR or trauma therapy in Utah or Texas, and something in you is quietly hoping this could be different, I’d be honored to walk with you.
