You’ve built a successful life—so why does it still feel so heavy, lonely, or unfulfilling? Even high achievers wonder, “Why do I feel so empty when I’ve accomplished so much?” I work with high-achieving professionals who feel burned out, anxious, stuck, or quietly wondering, “Is this worth the cost?” Together, we make space for your real self beneath the roles, expectations, and constant doing. I also specialize in trauma and divorce recovery, helping clients move from survival into genuine growth and meaning. I love helping clients experience "post-traumatic growth".
I use somatic and trauma-informed techniques like Brainspotting, somatic experiencing, and Internal Family Systems. With these evidence-based techniques, I help clients connect with their best selves, allowing them to unlock solutions to the challenges they face. Despite how bleak things may seem, there is always reason to hope for change.
As a founder of two businesses, I understand the highs and lows of success. Many accomplished people face pressure, burnout, anxiety, or partners and peers who don’t fully support them. I can help you rediscover your spark, feel grounded again, and reconnect with who you are beneath all you carry.

I use Internal Family Systems and Somatic Therapy and Brainspotting to help heal trauma. My aim is to help clients experience an "inside out" transformation that helps them experience themselves in a more positive light. They are also able to release themselves of trauma triggers, reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms, and experience "post traumatic growth".

I use a systems and attachment lens in my work, so we will look at family, relationship and contextual factors that contribute to your symptoms. I use somatic methods (somatic experiencing and Brainspoting) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help uncover and clear any trauma that may inadvertently be holding you back from being who you want to be.
