I am an Executive Coach, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, ADHD Coach, EFT Practitioner, and Integrative Health & Lifestyle Practitioner. I specialize in supporting high-achieving, high-performing women who are navigating stress, burnout, late ADHD diagnoses, and the pressure of doing it all. I blend science-backed therapeutic strategies with energy psychology, somatic tools, and coaching to help you reclaim your well-being and build systems that work with your nervous system, not against it.
My approach is holistic, collaborative, and client-led. I draw from a wide range of modalities—talk therapy, executive coaching, integrative health, somatic techniques, and energy work (such as EFT and mindfulness-based stress reduction).
I primarily work with high-achieving women—entrepreneurs, executives, creatives, and caregivers—who are managing chronic stress, burnout, late-diagnosed ADHD, or the emotional toll of being the “strong one” in every space they occupy.
