You’re the one who keeps the house running, remembers the schedules, and manages everyone’s emotions. From the outside, you have it all together. But internally, you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and feel like your nervous system never turns off. You love your family deeply, but the "invisible load" of parenting, work, and life has left you running on empty. You want to stop reacting in ways you regret and start feeling like yourself again. You’re looking for more than "self-care" tips; you want to understand why you feel so stuck in survival mode and how to finally find a sense of true internal calm.
I specialize in helping high-functioning women move from burnout into balance. My approach is direct, collaborative, and grounded in nervous-system informed and attachment-based therapy. We don’t just talk about your stress; we identify the survival patterns your body learned long ago and build sustainable tools to interrupt them for good.
You deserve a space where you don't have to be the "strong one." I provide a soft landing to help you understand what’s happening underneath the burnout. You’ve carried this load alone for long enough, let’s create more space for you and your relationships. Reach out today for a free consultation to see if we’re a good fit to work together.

I integrate attachment-based therapy, somatic tools, and nervous-system education to support anxiety regulation and emotional safety. Sessions move at a steady, attuned pace so your body has space to settle, not perform. Together, we focus on building regulation, clarity, and more grounded responses so anxiety and reactivity don't run the show.
