You’ve always been the one others count on—to lead, to show up, to keep it all together. Maybe you're a fellow helper, holding space for others while quietly carrying the weight of shame, shoulds, and self-abandonment. You know the tools, you’ve done the work—and yet, you still find yourself stuck in perfectionism, burnout, or people-pleasing. You’re constantly showing up for everyone else while quietly sidelining your own needs.
As a self-esteem and authenticity specialist, I help women—often fellow helpers—move from burnout and should-based living to rekindling their authentic voice, confidence, and self-trust. I use IFS, ACT, inner child work, and integrative mindfulness, somatic, and self-compassion practices to heal shame, self-criticism, and core wounds.
You don’t have to keep carrying this alone. Therapy with me offers safety, clarity, and real change. Getting started is simple: 1. Schedule your free vibe check (calendar is updated in real time of all available openings) 2. Complete your online forms. 3. Begin your first session feeling supported and ready for change.

I work with women who look strong on the outside but feel anxious, burned out, or lost in midlife transitions. My trauma-informed approach combines mindfulness, neuroscience, and compassion to calm anxiety, restore energy, and rebuild confidence—so you can stop settling and start thriving again.

I often draw from ACT, CBT with mindfulness, sex therapy, and trauma-informed approaches. In our first session, we'll talk through what's weighing on you and begin shaping a plan that feels steady and realistic. Along the way, I'll help you quiet anxious thoughts, ease burnout, and reconnect with your body and confidence so you can feel more like yourself again.
