Emotionally exhausted? Unsure why certain relationships keep hurting the same way? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate it by yourself. Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning on the outside but quietly overwhelmed, disconnected, or carrying experiences that haven’t had space to be processed.
I’m a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR practitioner who works with individuals and couples navigating trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also specialize in premarital counseling. My approach blends deep emotional work with practical tools — so you’re not just talking about change, you’re actually experiencing it.
I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can exhale, make sense of your story, and leave with more clarity than you came in with. Whether you’re healing from past wounds, struggling in your relationship, or wanting to show up differently in your life, I’m here to help you feel grounded, empowered, and hopeful again.

I help smart, self-aware women move from burnout and self-doubt to clarity, confidence, and emotional freedom. I specialize in working with women who are high-achieving on the outside but secretly overwhelmed inside, women who are ready for more than just coping. They want to heal.
