About

You’re the one people count on. The strong friend. The fixer. The one who keeps it all together, even when it’s quietly falling apart inside. You’ve achieved a lot, but it doesn’t silence the self-doubt, the overthinking, the constant pressure to be “better.” If you're tired by the weight of your own expectations or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, therapy can be a powerful way back to yourself. Through Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help high-achieving women, especially BIPOC women, heal the roots of anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, & generational trauma using a compassionate, depth-oriented approach. Together, we’ll untangle the noise of your inner critic and reconnect you with the self-trust and clarity you deserve. Specialties: anxiety, overthinking, inner critics, perfectionism, childhood & generational trauma, high-functioning depression, life transitions & identity work. Sessions with me are warm, real, and deeply affirming.
