Are you smart, driven, career-focused - and quietly falling apart? On the outside, you seem fine. On the inside, your mind races like a browser with 30 tabs open. You replay conversations, dread your to-do list, and never feel caught up. No matter how much praise you get, it doesn’t land. Your inner critic is loud, and everything feels heavy—like life isn’t fun anymore. You wonder if it’s ADHD, depression, burnout... You’ve tried the books, the walks, the journaling. You tell yourself to “love yourself,” but it feels like a vague idea, not something real. You’re tired of holding it all together and ready to actually feel okay
As a Type A overachieving empath myself, I truly understand how hard it can be to focus on your mental health in today's fast-paced culture. Having worked in a demanding corporate career for a decade prior to becoming a therapist, I specialize in helping intelligent, driven, women with high-functioning anxiety slow their intellectualizing brains down
I take a trauma-informed approach, working with the brain, body, and spirit. I specialize in helping high-achieving, Type A women with ADHD, trauma, and work stress. By uncovering the patterns that keep them stuck, my clients become more present, stop people-pleasing, manage anxiety, and rediscover their authentic selves. Email me for a free consultation!

The clients I tend to work with are just like me - type A, busy, high-achieving women who overthink, overanalyze, overplan, overexplain and "do it all". Often my clients feel a mixture of anxiety, depression, hyper-fixation, lack of focus, lack of motivation, and procrastination, sometimes all at once. It can feel confusing, but I promise - there's a pathway to clarity, presence and contentment.

My approach is as unique as my clients. There will be times when we spend more time processing past events and family history, and times when it makes more sense to focus on creating the life you dream of. Either way, the issues that need to be resolved will show up in our work together, and we will address them as they do. I take a trauma-informed, solutions focused, CBT/DBT approach to therapy.
