Life can feel especially demanding when you’re balancing it all. Whether you’re a neurodivergent woman navigating a world that wasn’t built for your brain, an athlete pushing toward your next goal, or a mom trying to care for yourself while caring for everyone else. I specialize in working with neurodivergent women, athletes, and mothers experiencing burnout, anxiety, trauma, identity shifts, and overwhelm. As an EMDR-trained therapist and a PMH-C, I also provide trauma-focused and specialized perinatal mental health care through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transitions of motherhood.
I specialize in working with neurodivergent women, athletes, and moms navigating trauma, anxiety, burnout, identity, and major life transitions. I offer an affirming, individualized approach and am EMDR trained and PMH-C certified, allowing me to provide specialized support for trauma, pregnancy, postpartum, and the complexities of motherhood.
You don’t have to keep pushing through, holding everything together, or wondering why things feel harder than they should. Therapy can be a place to understand yourself more deeply, heal what’s been weighing on you, and build a life that actually works for you. If you’re ready for support that feels validating, practical, and genuinely tailored to you!

I can help with trauma, burnout, anxiety, neurodivergence, perinatal mental health, and the unique pressures of motherhood and athletics. Treatment may include EMDR, exploring patterns and identity, building practical coping tools, and learning to work with your brain rather than against it. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself.
