Great to meet you!

Therapy can be a space to finally put some of that weight down. I work with women and mothers who are ready to step out of the cycle of overwhelm, perfectionism, and putting themselves last. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that are leaving you depleted and create space for greater balance, self-trust, and peace.

You don’t have to become a different person or figure everything out on your own. You can learn to care for yourself without the guilt, set boundaries without apology, and reconnect with the woman beneath all the roles you carry.

My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself, not just getting through each day, but creating a life that feels meaningful and sustainable.

You’ve been taking care of everyone else. It may be time to make space for you.

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.
