From the outside, your life looks steady and put together — and in many ways, it is. You meet deadlines, support others, solve problems, and carry significant responsibility. Yet internally, you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in a cycle of stress that never fully lets up. I specialize in working with high-functioning professionals—including social workers, healthcare providers, therapists, educators, leaders, and helping professionals—who are experiencing burnout, chronic stress, compassion fatigue, anxiety, or the effects of unresolved trauma.
I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing, and EMDR to help professionals feel more grounded, resilient, and engaged in their lives. Our work focuses on understanding underlying patterns, strengthening self-leadership, and creating lasting shifts that support both personal well-being and professional success.
You don't have to keep carrying the weight of everything on your own. Therapy can provide the space to reconnect with yourself, restore balance, and create a more sustainable way of living and working. If you're ready to feel more grounded, confident, and engaged in your life, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.

I primarily draw from Internal Family Systems and body-centered healing practices. Together, we will explore and build a deeper relationship with the many parts of yourself, honoring their wisdom and experiences. Through body-centered approaches, we will support your reconnection with your sensations, creating space to release what no longer serves you and restore balance.
