Something feels off, but it’s hard to explain why. On the outside, you’re holding it together. You’re capable, responsible, the one others rely on. But inside, you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly on edge. Your mind won’t slow down. Your body feels tight or activated. It’s hard to fully trust yourself. I work with insightful, driven women who are tired of managing anxiety and want to shift what’s actually driving it. Together, we slow things down and gently work through the deeper patterns behind what you’re feeling, so you feel more grounded, more connected, and more at ease in your own body and relationships.
I specialize in working with emotionally insightful, driven women navigating chronic anxiety, mood instability, and complex internal dynamics. My approach integrates somatic therapy and parts work in a way that feels practical, collaborative, and gentle, yet direct. Over time, many clients feel calmer and more confident in themselves and their decisions.
If you’re ready to move beyond coping and actually FEEL differently in your body and life, this work is for you. I invite you to reach out.

I work outside of insurance because I focus you, not your diagnosis. The insurance system often limits care and prioritizes labels over lasting change. Working directly allows us to prioritize your needs, explore patterns deeply, and create meaningful, embodied transformation without compromise.

Many of my clients are thoughtful, driven women who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, perfectionism, or constant internal pressure. Some parts of you might want rest, while others are anxious you aren't doing enough. Together, we work to understand the deeper patterns driving these experiences and create a greater sense of ease and steadiness so you can show up in your life with grounded confidence.

I often work with women who feel pulled in different directions internally. For example, part of them is striving for success and perfection while another part is overwhelmed or full of self-doubt. And underneath that tension is a part who just wants to feel safe. Using an IFS-informed approach, we gently explore the patterns of these parts and build a grounded, compassionate internal system.
