Do you feel like a stranger in your own life? Change often starts with recognizing that the way you have been coping, surviving or relating to yourself is no longer working for you. I work with clients who are ready to move beyond surface level insight and begin making meaningful changes in the way they think, feel, and show up in their relationships and daily lives. In session we will focus on the issues that keep resurfacing, using them as a guide to uncover deeper patterns, past trauma, or underlying factors that may not be immediately obvious but continue to keep you stagnant.

If your mind won’t slow down—if you’re constantly overthinking, worrying, or feeling on edge—you’re not alone, and you’re not broken.
Anxiety can take many forms. For some, it looks like racing thoughts and worst-case-scenario thinking. For others, it shows up as tension in the body, difficulty relaxing, trouble sleeping, or feeling constantly “on alert.” You may find yourself replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or feeling like you can never quite turn your mind off.
When you’re in it, it can feel exhausting—and isolating.
I offer a calm, non-judgmental space where you can begin to understand what’s happening beneath

My over twenty years of experience has led me to work with many clients who are navigating different stressors in their life. These stressors can lead to anxiety, depression, relationship issues, etc. My main areas of speciality include anxiety, depression, ADHD, self esteem, women’s issues, including perimenopause, grief, and parenting support.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in relationship or behavior patterns that no longer serve you? You might be an adult navigating relationship struggles, anxiety, self-doubt, or impulsive behaviors—or a teen or young adult feeling pressure, perfectionism, or uncertainty about who you are and where you’re headed. If you want more than quick fixes and are seeking understanding, emotional safety, stronger boundaries, and real change, you’re in the right place. Together, we can explore patterns with curiosity and compassion and build a life that feels more connected and authentic.

I work with neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, autism, OCD etc.) and those living with chronic illness, women's health issues and rare diseases.
Many of my clients are used to being misunderstood—told to push through, try harder, or ignore what their body or mind is signaling. You may be navigating burnout, executive dysfunction, or frustration from strategies that haven’t worked. It can feel like you’re doing everything you can and it’s still not enough.

Do you struggle with the mental load and exhaustion that comes with balancing your kids, your job, your relationship, and your own needs as a human? Do you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly stressed just trying to make it through the day? Maybe you find yourself feeling depleted and unfulfilled even though you’re living the life you always thought you wanted. You compare yourself to friends or people on social media and wonder why everyone else seems to have it figured out while you’re barely keeping up. Now more than ever, women are feeling stretched thin, emotionally exhausted, and like they’re constantly falling short.
