Life might look great from the outside, but inside, you feel so much stress and self-doubt. To my anxious perfectionists and deeply feeling souls – to those who’ve mastered the art of holding it together for everyone else while you’re quietly struggling… you’re not alone. Maybe you’re noticing the toll it’s taking on your body: sleepless nights, headaches, stomach issues, or even autoimmune problems. Chronic stress, burnout, and self-criticism are making it hard to focus on your own needs. There’s this relentless need for control that’s never satisfied. But your grip is slipping, and you fear what will happen next.
I help trauma survivors, anxious perfectionists, and self-sacrificers who are ready to stop living in survival mode. We’ll make your life manageable again by calming your mind, reducing your stress, and reconnecting you to yourself. You’ll learn to set boundaries that stick, quiet that inner critic, and create healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
I know what it’s like to be held hostage to a fear of failure, so I can tell you from personal experience how much better life can be. It’s not about being perfect – it’s about finding balance and authenticity so you can be confident in who you are. Don’t go it alone… I’m here for you. Call or email me and we’ll chat more during your free consultation.

I help high-achieving, young professional women who are juggling career success, relationships, and self-care but feel weighed down by anxiety, shame, and unprocessed trauma. During our initial sessions, we identify current upsets and build coping skills to help you manage distress. Then we get rid of it. My clients walk away from therapy feeling upbeat, hopeful, and transformed.
