” You might not call it trauma… but something about what you went through still feels unresolved—and it keeps showing up in ways you can’t ignore.
I help women heal from pregnancy and postpartum anxiety, birth trauma, miscarriage, and loss. The women I work with are thoughtful and high-functioning, but this feels different. You’ve tried giving it time, researching, or pushing through—but it's still there. In our work together, we won't just talk, we'll help your nervous system actually process it.

You said yes again; you couldn't bear the possible disappointment. Smiling and agreeing is your norm. Then driving home you felt the tightness in your chest. Your anxiety rises and the voice whispers “you’re still not enough.” People-pleasing has a way of leaving you full of everyone else and empty of yourself. You’re tired of pretending, ready to stop people-pleasing, and wondering if you'll ever feel as calm inside as you appear outside. The pressure to be the “perfect” woman makes deep self care feel inconvenient. Let's work on this.

My specialty is helping clients explore how past experiences, including trauma and attachment, shape how they respond today.
You might look like you are holding it all together on the outside—but inside, it feels overwhelming. If you’re a woman or parent who struggles with overthinking, people-pleasing, or repeating patterns in relationships, you’re not alone. Together, we can begin to understand what’s driving these patterns so you can feel more grounded and in control.

When anxiety, depression, past trauma, or chronic stress are part of the picture, that weight can feel even harder to manage.
I am comfortable working with clients exploring identity, neurodiversity, and trauma, and how together these factors shape our views on the world. You deserve a space where your full self is seen and supported.
