I specialize in working with burned-out adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from themselves. Together, we get clear on what matters to you, reclaim the parts of you that have been pushed aside, and rediscover joy.

If you’re navigating perfectionism, people-pleasing, or the heavy load of parenting or caregiving, you don’t have to keep carrying it alone. With compassionate, nonjudgmental, individualized support, we’ll help you quiet the noise and reconnect with your inner voice and innate wisdom.

My approach is personalized, relational, and focused on helping you navigate self-criticism, live more authentically, and find meaning amidst life's challenges.

If you’re a parent or caregiver, you might notice…

  • You’re overwhelmed by holding everything together, but still feel like it’s not enough

  • You feel guilty for not enjoying this season of life the way you think you “should” or the way it seems other people are enjoying it

  • You’re grieving the version of yourself you remember from before becoming a parent

  • A pregnancy, birth, postpartum, or early parenting experience has had a bigger impact on you than expected

  • Things look good from the outside, but inside you are struggling

Parenting can amplify whatever stress, trauma, or pressure you were already carrying. Therapy can help you meet yourself again in the middle of it.

Whether parenting is part of your story or not, many people feel stretched thin by the emotional load they’re carrying.

Not a parent? You might notice…

  • You feel anxious and overwhelmed, even if your life looks great on paper

  • You feel stretched thin by work, relationships, or emotional labor

  • You feel disconnected from yourself, and you’re not sure how to get back to who you are

  • You feel stuck in relationship patterns that leave you feeling unfulfilled, over-functioning, and drained

  • You’re carrying the emotional weight of trauma, loss, or identity shifts you haven’t had space to process

Therapy gives you a space to slow down, understand what’s beneath the burnout, and reconnect with yourself.
