I work with women who appear strong and capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unseen inside. They’re navigating life transitions, relationship stress, burnout, or childhood wounds, and are ready to break free from people-pleasing and perfectionism. My clients want more than coping skills, they want clarity, emotional freedom, and confidence. They’re ready to feel grounded, empowered, and more connected to who they truly are.
With 22+ years of experience, I help women heal from anxiety, burnout, trauma, and relationship struggles. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I use CBT and strengths-based tools to support growth, boundaries, and self-trust, offering virtual in California.
You’re tired of carrying it all and ready for change. Therapy can be a place to feel seen, supported, and reconnected to yourself. You don’t have to figure it out alone. If you're ready to set boundaries, heal old wounds, and feel more grounded, I'm here to walk with you on that journey.
