Great to meet you!

Hello, I’m glad you’re here. If you’ve found your way to this page, chances are you’ve been carrying a lot maybe quietly, maybe for a long time. You might be exhausted from holding it all together or used to pushing through. Therapy BLIS was created for moments like this, for women who have been trying to have it all together, showing up, handling everything, checking the boxes but who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or stuck underneath it all.

This is a space where you don’t have to explain away your pain, suppress or minimize what you’re feeling.

My approach to therapy

Therapy here is about helping you make sense of what you’re carrying and why it feels so heavy. Together, we slow things down and look at what’s been overwhelming you, what patterns may be keeping you stuck, and what support actually looks like for you,My approach is calm, direct, and action-oriented we’re not just talking in circles, we’re working toward real, felt change. The goal isn’t just to help you cope. It’s to help you recognize yourself again and move from surviving your life to actually thriving in it.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is simply a space to breathe and talk without pressure. You don’t need to have the right words or a perfect story just come as you are. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you and what you’ve been trying to manage on your own. Many people arrive feeling unsure or nervous, and that’s completely okay.
