I use EMDR, Hypnosis, IFS + most recently, Coherence Therapy... transformational change therapies for better physical, emotional + psychological health + wellness. With EMDR, you focus on a trigger or trauma paired with bilateral stimulation (eye movement/tapping/tones), leading to a reduction in the vividness + emotion associated with the incident. Through root change, your thoughts, behaviours, feelings, traumas or environmental triggers are reduced or eliminated, increasing your sense of wellbeing, alleviating feelings of stress, expanding your narrative + working through any recent crises, past traumas or maladaptive schemas.

As a woman, daughter, sister, and wife, I understand that our lives are shaped by the relationships, expectations, and experiences we carry.

Over the past decade, I've supported individuals through complex life challenges, mental health concerns, and major transitions. I am especially passionate about supporting women navigating disordered eating, chronic dieting, binge eating, neurodivergence, pregnancy, motherhood, and the process of connecting with self trust.

I work with people who feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck carrying their struggles alone—especially those with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, or various patterns that feel hard to break.
Do you feel like you’re holding everything together on the outside while feeling overwhelmed inside? Some days feel manageable, while other days anxiety, old memories, or self-doubt show up without warning. You may overthink, people-please, or put pressure on yourself just to feel “okay.” It’s exhausting to live in your head while trying to keep life moving forward. Therapy can be a space to slow down, gain clarity, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll focus on healing past patterns, building self-worth, and helping you feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life again.

You wonder if maybe you have ADHD, depression, or just burnout - but deep down, your intuition knows somethings off.
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 in banking and HR 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.

You’ve worked hard—degrees earned, promotions won, goals achieved. But instead of feeling proud, you’re stuck in burnout. Late nights, racing thoughts, and a never-ending to-do list have you running on fumes. Maybe ADHD has you juggling too much, and now it’s all crashing down. Or imposter syndrome keeps whispering that you’re not enough, no matter what you accomplish. You’re too busy to add one more thing to your plate. You wonder if therapy will actually stick or if it’s just another thing that doesn’t work, asking yourself, what’s the point of being “aware” if nothing really changes? Therapy gives you more than just awareness.

Maybe you’re seeking a change, but want support figuring out what that is. I’m here to offer a warm place to explore and get that clarity. I see therapy quite simply, as a conversation – likely one you don’t get anywhere else. Therapy allows you to more freely tell your story, and determine the parts that may or may not be working for you right now. Even when you feel stuck, you hold wisdom about your life. I see my role as accompanying you in understanding what you want and identifying opportunities for change. Holding greater awareness about what’s going on can be empowering in shifting your thoughts, actions, and relationships.
