New Apr 2026: Are you a Type A, driven, hardworking woman who is quietly unraveling inside? No one sees your high-functioning anxiety or the trauma responses running the show. Your mind never stops, your body is always tense, and relaxation feels impossible. Praise doesn’t register. You wonder if maybe you have ADHD, depression, or just burnout - but deep down, your intuition knows somethings off. Maybe you grew up having to perform, stay small, or manage other people’s emotions. You’ve tried the walks, journaling, meditations.. but your nervous system still feels stuck. You know you need to “love yourself”- you just don’t know how.
As a "recovering" overachiever myself, I truly understand how hard it can be to focus on your mental health in today's fast-paced culture. Having worked as a teacher for a decade prior to becoming a therapist, I specialize in helping intelligent, driven, women with high-functioning anxiety or ADHD slow their intellectualizing brains down.
At the end of the day, it's time to get back to basics: set healthy boundaries, stop people pleasing, and learn how to regulate big emotions so that you can actually recharge - even a little bit. If you're not only ready but willing to do the work for real change, I'm here to hold your hand every step of the way. Send me an email to set up a free consult!..

I specialize in helping smart, hard-working, highly-sensitive women who feel stuck. You're tired of people-pleasing, overworking, and putting everyone else first. Anxiety, self-doubt, and an overactive inner critic hold you back, despite your efforts with self-help tools. Together, we'll heal past wounds, build boundaries, calm your nervous system, and create lasting change.

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 approach to therapy.
