You are overwhelmed, burned out, stressed, irritable and no longer feel like yourself. You want to enjoy your life, but you are on edge, frustrated and exhausted. You may be struggling with the demands of work, home, parenting, your relationship, or just trying to find balance while "fitting it all in." You may have past trauma that you have not worked through because YOU are always the one taking care of others. You break promises and commitments to yourself, have a hard time trusting yourself and place more importance on pleasing and showing up for others. Anxiety, Trauma and ADHD Therapy and Wellness Groups for Women!
I help women improve their relationship with SELF. They feel overwhelmed, frustrated and stressed with life. They are used to being chronically "busy" or "doing it all". They take care of everyone else and have a pattern of abandoning themselves because they are too exhausted and have nothing left to give once everyone and everything is taken care of.
You are READY to focus on your health and wellness, so that you can find peace, joy and self connection. You are capable, strong and ready! Let's work together. Contact me to schedule a free, 15 minute phone consultation to see if we are a good match to work together in 1:1 therapy, my support groups or wellness workshops!

I work with women to address anxiety, overwhelm, burn out and past trauma. During our sessions, we will work together to help you to heal and build your relationship with yourself and others. We will address boundaries, people pleasing and other issues. I use Somatic, Mindfulness and EMDR approaches (while tapping into your inner child) to address the nervous system, emotions and behavior.
