Where Anxiety & Trauma End and Real Growth Begins
Hi, I'm Ivanna, an anxiety and trauma therapist for Gen Z and Millenials who are tired of just getting through it.
I specialize in helping people-pleasers, overthinkers, and high-functioning adults heal anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and the relationship patterns keeping them stuck. I offer traditional talk therapy, walk & talk therapy, and also EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS).
If you're one spiral away from burning out or crashing out… let's talk.

Let me guess…
You’ve tried the quick fixes but the wounds are still there. I want you to know that you need a space where all of you is welcome- the anxiety, the ADHD, the trauma, the relationship wounds, and the parts of you still figuring it out. I take a culturally responsive, holistic, and trauma-informed approach. We will use your strengths, develop skills and incorporate EMDR and IFS to help you break cycles, rebuild trust in yourself, and live more freely.
If this sounds like you:
✗ Anxiety that lives in your body even when life looks fine on paper
✗ An ADHD brain that makes you feel behind, overwhelmed, or misunderstood
✗ Trauma that quietly shapes how you show up in every relationship
✗ Cycles of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt you can't seem to break
✗ Relationships that feel draining, confusing, or painfully familiar
✗ Disconnected from yourself and just going through the motions
It's time to make a change that actually lasts.
You don't have to keep figuring this out alone. Let's start here.
Personalized Therapy
Heal What Talk Therapy Alone Can't Reach.
Some things live in the body long after the mind has tried to move on. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based, trauma-focused therapy that helps your brain process stuck memories and experiences that are still quietly running the show — the ones showing up as anxiety, hypervigilance, relationship patterns, or a persistent feeling that something is just off. You don't have to relive everything to heal it. EMDR helps your nervous system finally do what it was always trying to do — process, release, and move forward.
A Space That's Entirely Yours for 55 minutes. This is where you get to stop performing, stop managing, and just be honest. Individual therapy at Grow Through is a collaborative, one-on-one space where we go beneath the surface — exploring the patterns, beliefs, and experiences shaping how you show up in your life, your relationships, and your relationship with yourself. Whether you're navigating anxiety, processing old wounds, or just trying to figure out who you are underneath all the roles you play, this is where that work begins.
Your Anxiety Makes Sense. And It Can Change.
Anxiety isn't just overthinking or being too sensitive. For high-achieving adults, it often looks like productivity, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the constant hum of not feeling like enough — no matter how much you accomplish. At Grow Through, we don't just teach you how to manage anxiety. We get curious about where it came from, what it's been trying to protect you from, and how to help your nervous system finally feel safe enough to let it go. Because you deserve more than coping strategies. You deserve actual relief.
You Don't Have to Keep Carrying This Alone
Trauma isn't always a single defining moment. Sometimes it's the accumulation of years of feeling unseen, unsafe, or like too much — and not enough — at the same time. Trauma therapy at Grow Through is a gentle, body-aware, culturally responsive process of making sense of what happened, how it lives in you now, and who you get to become when you're no longer defined by it. Using EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), we'll work at your pace — honoring your story while helping you write a new chapter.
