You come across to others like you have it all together... but on the inside you struggle intensely with issues like fear and anxiety, overthinking/worry, trouble with boundaries, people-pleasing behaviors, perfectionism, self-doubt and have difficulty really FEELING the self-confidence that you project outwardly. Sound familiar? If so, you may be struggling with high-functioning anxiety. This is not a clinical term, but is a very real experience for many people that suffer with anxiety. You want to keep your high-achieving ways and yet finally ditch all that anxiety... and I can help you!

You deserve a space to explore the things that just are causing you frustration, without fear of judgement.

Are you having trouble coping with life’s stressors, chronic health issues, having relationship conflicts, or plagued with unsettling thoughts, feelings and behaviors?

I am truly passionate about supporting my clients in their process to gain deeper self-understanding and to foster personal growth through self-compassion. I work from a place of genuine curiosity about my client’s lives and relationships, respecting each person’s path as unique.

I'll help you tap into your inner strength and personal power so you can make the changes needed to feel better and create a more fulfilling life.
