I specialize in working with sensitive, high-achieving adults—often midlife women—who are ready for real change in both their inner world and their work. You may be feeling anxious, exhausted, stuck in familiar patterns, or quietly disconnected from your confidence, purpose, or joy. You’re thoughtful, capable, and self-aware—and you know it’s time for something to shift. My approach is practical, body-aware, and trauma-informed. In our sessions, I offer tools that go beyond talking alone, sharing tools to calm the nervous system, and create meaningful change. Clients leave sessions feeling clearer, steadier, and more resourced.
I help you build resilience, strengthen boundaries, and reconnect with your inner wisdom. Drawing on my background in trauma-informed psychotherapy alongside life and career coaching, we clarify what matters most and support you in taking aligned, sustainable steps forward. My experience and attunement help us quickly identify what is stuck, and shift it.
Together, we build on your strengths, ease anxiety and stress, and create space for greater clarity, purpose, and peace. If you’re looking for a compassionate yet direct guide who offers tools that truly work, I’d be glad to meet you. Reaching out is a meaningful step—let’s see if we’re a good fit for your next chapter. Contact me for the free consult times.

I specialize in working with anxiety, stress, grief, and trauma, including small traumas that can quietly impact patterns, confidence, and life choices. I support clients who feel stuck, or off track and are ready to reconnect with clarity, purpose, and inner steadiness. Many clients experience early relief, followed by a steady strengthening of resilience & deeper clarity about what's meaningful.
