Great to meet you!

Imagine being as kind and reliable to yourself as you are to everyone else. I specialize in supporting women who appear highly capable to the outside world, yet feel anxious, overextended, and disconnected from themselves. I have a deep passion for working with women who are navigating the unique exhaustion of managing everyone else's expectations while trying to reclaim their own peace.

With over a decade of experience in mental health and 6 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, I help you untangle the "shoulds" of society and upbringing. My space is one of honesty, warmth, and even a bit of humor. Whether you are struggling with people-pleasing, setting boundaries, or navigating complex family dynamics, we will work together to break the cycles that keep you stuck so you can show up authentically as yourself.

To get started: Please select a "Book Session" from my calendar (Session Hours vary Mon-Thu 9AM-2:30PM). This is a free, no-pressure way for us to connect, discuss your goals, and see if we are a good fit. I look forward to meeting you.

My approach to therapy

I believe in collaborative curiosity. This means we work as a team to look at your life and figure out exactly where you feel stuck and why.

We won’t just talk about the stress. We will look at the hidden habits like trying to be perfect or always saying yes to others that leave you feeling drained. My goal is to help you turn those realizations into actual changes.

Our sessions are a mix of deep conversation and practical tools to help you set better boundaries and find your voice. We will work together to build a life that finally feels like yours instead of one you are just managing for everyone else.

What you can expect from me

Think of our first session as a comfortable starting point. We will spend the hour beginning to untangle the challenges that brought you here today.

We will talk about what has been happening in your life with curiosity and zero judgment. My goal is to help you feel heard and supported while we define the goals that actually matter to you.
