Feel guilty choosing yourself over others? Twist yourself into a pretzel to be liked and accepted? Exhausted from sleepless nights of overthinking what you said or did wrong? Worry about what others think of you? I help female people-pleasers and overachievers to gain a sense of wholeness that comes from within, get in control of their mood and anxiety, overcome phobias, and have more loving and connected relationships.
I also help couples to break free from the painful cycle of arguing, misunderstanding and loneliness. A relationship is like a dance. In therapy, you and your partner will learn a new way to dance with each other.

You’ve tried talk therapy & it hasn’t helped... Talking about yourself may seem overwhelming when you have so much anxiety, past memories and feel distanced from those you care about. At work, it’s hard for you to hit that ‘off button.’ At home, you stay up late getting caught up in the thoughts of your past or replaying a conversation in your head.

Each week is so draining as you hold tension in your shoulders, a swirling spiral of stomach yuck, or feel keyed up as you scroll mindlessly on your phone. You crave relief & direction and haven’t been able to find it anywhere else.
