Do you feel like you’re always the one holding everything together—caring for everyone else while your own needs get pushed aside? If you’re feeling overwhelmed, burned out, disconnected, or like you’ve lost your sense of self along the way, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to carry it all by yourself. I provide therapy exclusively for women and believe compassion is a skill we develop, especially toward ourselves. It is a practice, not a trait. Together, we turn inward with curiosity rather than criticism. What would it look like to give yourself the same care you give to others?
I specialize in supporting women through college life challenges, perinatal mental health, and later-life transitions—the "strong ones"—mothers, caregivers, healthcare workers, and teachers. We work to soften self-criticism, missteps, and messy moments with curiosity rather than judgment—practice over perfection, and the gentle reminder: "How human of you."
My approach is warm and real. You don’t need to be polished here—you can come as you are: messy, honest, and unfiltered. I don’t believe you’re broken; I believe you are overextended, and therapy is a place to make your way back to yourself. Healing begins with hope—and we move forward by shifting how you relate to life's demands one kind step at a time.
