At work, you’re capable and high-achieving. At home, you’re the steady parent, the planner, the one holding everything together. From the outside, it looks like you’re managing it all. Inside, you’re exhausted. Overthinking. Snapping more than you’d like. Struggling to turn your brain off at night.
I work with overwhelmed moms and high-functioning professionals who feel constant pressure to “do more” while quietly battling anxiety, burnout, irritability, or guilt. Many of my clients also carry unresolved experiences from the past that continue to shape how they react, trust, and cope, even if they believe it “wasn’t that bad."
Therapy with me is a space where you don’t have to perform or be the strong one. I specialize in anxiety, motherhood transitions, and trauma-informed care, integrating EMDR, CBT, and attachment-based approaches. Together, we help your brain and nervous system reprocess painful experiences so they feel less intense and no longer run the show.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical. We focus on calming your nervous system, setting boundaries without guilt, reducing overthinking, and helping you respond (rather than react) in your relationships and parenting. If you’re ready to stop white-knuckling your way through life and start feeling more grounded and in control, I’d love to connect.
