About

I specialize in working with women who are carrying more than they let on. Many of the people I work with are high-functioning on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck on the inside - especially in the context of today’s social, political, and cultural stressors. Clients often come to me questioning their relationships, their work, or their place in the world. You might be highly self-aware, socially conscious, or emotionally attuned, yet still struggling with chronic anxiety, people-pleasing, overthinking, or a sense of inner unrest. My approach is grounded, relational, and integrative. I draw from evidence-based practices like Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and somatic awareness, while also making space for exploration of meaning, identity, and values. Sessions may include skill-building, reflective conversation, and learning how to work with emotions.
