You've been holding it together for a long time — managing everyone's needs, the career, the relationship, the patterns you wanted to break. Or the weight of being everything to everyone. Lately something shifted. The routine that used to work isn't working. You're exhausted in a way sleep doesn't fix. You're not sure when you stopped feeling like yourself, when you started shrinking to keep the peace or saying yes when you meant no. You've been masking, performing "fine" so long it became second nature. That disconnection is showing up in your body, your relationships, or your sense of self. You don't have to keep outrunning it.
I'm a prelicensed therapist who's done the work of coming back to myself after years of masking and over-functioning for others. I specialize in relational trauma, attachment wounds, boundaries, and reconnecting with your authentic self — especially women who've spent a lifetime being "the strong one." Blending ACT, IFS, somatic, and attachment-based work.
Reaching out to a therapist for the first time, or the first time with someone new takes courage. You don't need to have the right words or know exactly what you're looking for. I'll walk you through the process, answer your questions honestly, and together we'll figure out if we're a good fit. There's no pressure, no rush. Whenever you're ready, I'm here
