Feel like yourself again.

Feel like yourself again.

If life has been feeling overwhelming, draining, and uncertain, I’m here to help.

When “fine” isn’t enough anymore. You're the one who keeps it all together, gracefully managing everything even when it feels like a second job—but lately, you're running on fumes. Mind racing, boundaries? What boundaries? Old coping skills simply don’t work anymore.

Taking that first step feels huge, like things need to be bad enough to justify it. Here’s the truth: You don't need a crisis to seek support. If something feels off, even subtly, that’s your invitation to find easy clarity and space to breathe. You deserve an incredible life.

I'm so glad you're here.

My Specialties

Where I do my best work

01 anxiety

High-functioning anxiety is exhausting. You're tired of the constant mental chatter and the pressure to be perfect. We work together to turn down the volume on that high-functioning anxiety and stop the fear of failure from holding you back.

02 depression

You feel completely isolated, drained, and stuck in a low-energy cycle. We create a clear, personalized path to help you break free from burnout, get your energy back, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and joy.

03 trauma

When old pain still makes your world feel small or leaves you chronically exhausted, you need expert care. Through gentle, grounding work, we help you process what happened so your past no longer limits your future.

04 grief

When you feel the heavy, isolating weight of loss, we want you to know: It really is that bad. This is a safe, expert space to honor your grief and sit with the pain. We'll help you navigate the complexity of loss while finding ways to make life feel manageable again.

05 women

You deserve strategic guidance for the challenges of modern life. I offer relatable support to help you set clear boundaries, own your self-esteem, beat career burnout, and feel truly empowered.

06 teens

I offer the specific, relatable support teens need to handle intense academic pressure, anxiety, and identity shifts. We build real-world, practical skills for managing high-stress moments and fostering confidence and resilience.

Something needs to change.

You can’t live-laugh-love your way through deep healing.

If you're a high-achiever constantly feeling the pressure to 'get it right,' or wrestling with anxiety, boundaries, or grief, you might be experiencing an opportunity for deeper understanding and positive change.

I get it. You might have wished for heirlooms but inherited generational trauma instead.  Not everyone ends up inheriting what they expected from their families. The good news? Just because you have anxiety or people-pleasing traits doesn’t mean you’re stuck with it. I’m here to guide you beyond what you've inherited, helping you build boundaries, find your voice, and truly feel like yourself again.
