You’ve been handling it for a long time.

Maybe you’re the person everyone counts on. You’re capable, responsible, self-aware—and completely exhausted by your own brain.

You know you’re too hard on yourself. Other people’s moods affect you more than you wish they did. You give a lot, think about everyone, anticipate what needs to happen next, and have a surprisingly hard time figuring out what you need.

Maybe you’re anxious. Overwhelmed. Resentful. Burned out. Stuck in people-pleasing or overthinking. Maybe you’re navigating ADHD, motherhood, a difficult relationship, family-of-origin stuff, or a major transition that has you wondering why something that looks manageable on paper feels so damn hard.

Or maybe you've reached the point where you simply don't want to keep doing life this way.

Therapy is a place where you don't have to be the one who has it handled.

I’m a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with more than eighteen years of experience helping women understand the connection between who they learned to be and how they’re living now.

Together, we get curious about the patterns that once made sense—being hyper-independent, keeping the peace, staying in control, anticipating everyone’s needs, pushing through, making yourself smaller—and figure out which ones you actually want to keep.

This isn't about convincing you that everything about you needs fixing.

It’s about understanding yourself well enough that you have choices.

We might work on boundaries. Anxiety. ADHD. Trauma. Relationships. Self-trust. Emotional regulation. People-pleasing. Perfectionism. Motherhood. Family dynamics. Or why you can understand exactly where a pattern came from and still cannot seem to stop doing it.

And yes, we'll talk about your childhood. But we're also going to talk about the text your mother sent you yesterday that made you want to throw your phone across the room.

You don't have to make yourself easy here.

You don't have to arrive with the right words. You don't have to know exactly what's wrong. You don't have to worry about whether your problems are “bad enough” for therapy.

Come as you are.

We’ll connect the dots between your past and your present, make sense of what’s keeping you stuck, and figure out what might actually help you move forward.

You’ve spent enough time taking care of everyone else’s experience. There should be at least one room where we get to focus on yours.

    What We Do Together

I don’t believe good therapy is just sitting in a room nodding while you tell me what happened this week.

We’ll get curious about why you do what you do—where your patterns came from, what they’ve protected you from, and whether they’re still working for you.

I draw from more than sixteen years of clinical experience, trauma-informed care, evidence-based approaches, and a lot of intuition to help you connect the dots between your past and present.

We’ll look at what’s happening in your relationships, your nervous system, your family, your work, your motherhood, and inside your own head. We’ll figure out what’s actually underneath the anxiety, resentment, overwhelm, perfectionism, or need for control—and then we'll work on what to do with it.

Sometimes that means practical tools and coping strategies. Sometimes it means learning to tolerate someone being disappointed in you. Sometimes it means understanding why a seemingly insignificant interaction can send you into a spiral. And sometimes it means finally saying something out loud that you've spent years convincing yourself wasn't a big deal.

You’ll leave therapy understanding yourself better, not just managing yourself better.

One of my favorite parts of this work is helping women see themselves differently.

When you've spent years being the capable one, the responsible one, the one who figures it out, it can be surprisingly difficult to recognize how much you're carrying, or how little room you've left for yourself.

My job isn't to tell you who to become.

It's to help you hear yourself well enough to decide.

Ready to talk?

You don't need to know exactly what you want to work on yet.

A free consultation gives us a chance to talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, what you're looking for, and whether working together feels like a good fit.
