Great to meet you!

Imagine being as kind and reliable to yourself as you are to everyone else. If you are exhausted from overthinking, taking on too much at work or home, and feeling like you're carrying the mental load for everyone around you, we can work on changing that.

My sessions are practical and down-to-earth. I won't just sit back and nod. We'll look at the everyday habits (like perfectionism, over-committing, and struggling to delegate) that leave you feeling drained, and focus on practical steps to regain your time and head space.

My focus is helping women navigate everyday anxiety, manage burnout, and set healthy boundaries with family, friends, and work. The goal is to help you build real self-trust, so you can spend less energy managing daily stress and more time feeling present in your life.

I offer virtual daytime appointments for adults across California, Monday through Thursday between 9:00 AM and 2:30 PM. My practice is structured for scheduled sessions primarily focused on managing anxiety. Please note: I do not provide crisis support, acute emotional distress care, or treatment for complex clinical conditions.

When you're ready, click "Book Session" to schedule a 15-minute phone screening to discuss your goals and confirm mutual fit.

My approach to therapy

We work as a team to look at what is going on and build a clear path forward.

We won’t just talk about anxiety. Instead, we’ll look at everyday habits, like trying to be perfect or always saying yes, that leave you feeling drained.

Our sessions combine open conversation with practical steps to help you set firm boundaries and advocate for yourself. Together, we’ll focus on realistic shifts that help you step back from managing everyone else and start prioritizing your own needs.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is about building a strong foundation. We’ll cover essential paperwork details, get a clear picture of your background, and map out the goals you want to work on first.
