Great to meet you!

Ready to break through anxiety, ditch people-pleasing, and do life with more peace and way more fun? 🙋🏼‍♀️

I specialize in helping high-capacity women — especially oldest daughters and recovering perfectionists — feel safe in their own minds again. I know what it’s like to carry invisible emotional weight while keeping a smile on your face. I’ve lived it, I’ve trained in it, and I’d love to help you unlearn the pressure and rebuild with grace.

My approach to therapy

Warm. Empowering. A little humorous. Always judgment-free. We'll simplify mental health care, boost your self-worth, and make room for self-compassion. Expect a mix of tools, truth, and gentle transformation.

What you can expect from me

We'll talk about what’s heavy, set real goals (with zero pressure), and begin untangling the root causes of anxiety and emotional exhaustion. You’ll leave with clarity, calm, and maybe even your first deep breath in weeks.

Therapy with me is honest, human, and sacred. You’re already enough — and I’ll help you believe it.
