Hi there! If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or constantly overthinking, you’re not alone. Many of the adults I work with are high-functioning on the outside, but exhausted on the inside. You may be the one everyone depends on (e.g., the responsible one, the helper, the strong one). And now, it feels like too much to carry. Together, we will focus on calming anxiety and emotional overwhelm, processing unresolved trauma, reducing overthinking and racing thoughts, building healthier boundaries, improving communication and relationships, and developing practical coping tools for everyday life.
I’m a licensed therapist providing online anxiety and trauma therapy for adults across the state of Illinois AND South Carolina. I specialize in helping overwhelmed, high-functioning adults who struggle with anxiety, overthinking, trauma, depression, and chronic stress.
This work isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about helping you feel safer in your body, clearer in your mind, and more confident in your choices. You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. Therapy can be a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you move toward a calmer, more grounded life. I'd be honored to work with you.

I help clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, and trauma. Using a holistic, trauma-informed approach that blends therapy with mindfulness and somatic awareness, we'll explore root causes and create a plan that supports emotional healing, balance, and lasting growth. Most of my clients show progression with managing their symptoms within the first few months.
