Great to meet you!

Feeling like you’re carrying the weight of it all? As women and mothers, we often juggle endless to-do lists, emotional labor, and the invisible “mental load” that keeps everything running yet leaves little room for ourselves. You might be feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or guilty for not doing “enough,” even when you’re giving your all. I work with women who are ready to release the constant pressure to manage it all and reconnect with themselves again. Together, we’ll explore what balance, peace, and fulfillment actually look like for you. My goal is to help you feel grounded, capable, and more like yourself again.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a method that helps people identify and shift unhelpful patterns in thinking, feeling, and behaving. CBT combines the strengths of both cognitive and behavioral strategies, based on the idea that when we change our thoughts, we can also positively influence our emotions and actions.

What you can expect from me

My intention is to create a space where you can feel heard, safe, and emotionally grounded. Life can bring many stressors that make it difficult to stay balanced, especially when it comes to mental well-being. I'm here to support you on your journey, helping you move toward the emotional and mental space you truly want to be in.
