Do you feel like you’ve always been the dependable one—the eldest daughter, the peacemaker, the overachiever—carrying everyone else’s needs while ignoring your own? Maybe you’re praised for having it all together, but inside you feel anxious, burnt out, or disconnected from who you really are. You say yes when you want to say no, stay busy so you don’t have to feel too much, and end up wondering if anyone truly knows you beneath the role you play. It’s an exhausting cycle that leaves little room for you to just be yourself.
Therapy is a space where you don’t have to perform or be the strong one. I work with women carrying the weight of family, faith, and perfectionism, who find these patterns and rigid beliefs leave them anxious and disconnected. Together, we’ll question old stories, untangle what no longer fits, and help you reconnect with your own needs and values.
You deserve a life that feels like it belongs to you, not just a mirrorball reflecting what everyone else needs. Therapy can be where you rediscover your identity, learn to set boundaries without guilt, and step free from the pressure to be perfect. If you’re ready, I’d be honored to walk alongside you in that process.

I work often with clients who may be experiencing anxiety or self-esteem issues. In our sessions, we will identify what beliefs you have about yourself, explore where those beliefs originated from, and learn coping skills. Many of my clients experience more self-compassion and acceptance as they gain insight into their sense of self.

I approach therapy in a relational manner that allows for us to build trust so that you feel supported and have the space needed to become curious about how your story has shaped you. As therapy progresses, I hope to help you become accepting of all parts of yourself, and to welcome each part of you as having an integral role in your whole self.
