Matthew Heake, therapist in Roseville, CA

You're the person people lean on. Capable, reflective, probably seen as the one who has it together. But underneath that, something keeps running — a thought loop that won't power down, a reaction you can't explain, a pattern you keep ending up in no matter how much you understand it.

You've probably tried therapy before. Maybe it helped you make sense of things, gave you some language for what you're dealing with. But making sense of it didn't make it stop. The anxiety still shows up at 2am. The same relational pattern still plays out. You still flinch at the thing you know shouldn't bother you anymore.

That's because what's driving most of this isn't cognitive. It's encoded — stored in your nervous system from experiences that never got fully processed. Your brain understood. Your body didn't. And until the body catches up, the insight stays intellectual and the pattern stays intact.

If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.

How I work

EMDR & Trauma

For trauma, attachment wounds, and experiences your nervous system is still responding to as if they’re happening now.

OCD & Anxiety

For intrusive thoughts, compulsive patterns, and anxiety that shows up as control, overthinking, or internal pressure.

Athletes & Performance

For performance blocks, injury-related anxiety, and competition stress that won’t respond to the usual mental game work. EMDR goes where sport psychology can’t.

I didn't become a therapist because I studied pain in a textbook. I became one because I know what it's like to rebuild a life from the ground up — and because the tools that helped me do it are the same ones I now use in session.
