There is something uniquely exhausting about being the person others depend on. Many of the women I work with are therapists, healthcare professionals, educators, caregivers, and mothers who have spent years holding everything together for everyone else while quietly feeling emotionally overwhelmed themselves. On the outside, you may appear calm, capable, and emotionally attuned. Internally, you may be carrying anxiety, burnout, self-doubt, compassion fatigue, or a persistent sense that your own needs always come last.
Over time, it can become difficult to recognize where caretaking ends and self-abandonment begins. You may find yourself constantly over-functioning, anticipating the needs of others, pushing through exhaustion, or feeling disconnected from your own emotions, identity, and sense of self. Part of you is tired of surviving this way and ready for something different.
I specialize in working with women in helping professions who are struggling with anxiety, emotional exhaustion, attachment wounds, perfectionism, self-worth difficulties, and the long-term impact of chronic stress and relational trauma. My approach is experiential, attachment-focused, and grounded in the belief that emotional patterns develop for meaningful reasons within the context of our life experiences and relationships.
Rather than focusing only on symptom management, therapy becomes a space to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and begin shifting the emotional patterns that keep you stuck in cycles of overwhelm, over-responsibility, and self-criticism. Together, we work toward strengthening self-trust, increasing emotional clarity, and creating new ways of relating to yourself and others that feel more sustainable, connected, and authentic.
Our work together is collaborative, grounded, and deeply human. I value creating a space where you feel emotionally safe enough to explore not only the struggles bringing you to therapy, but also the strengths, needs, values, and parts of yourself that may have gone unseen while caring for everyone else. Therapy with me is active and relational, helping you process and reshape long-standing emotional and relational patterns at their root rather than continuing to push through them alone.
I have worked in the mental health field since 2006 as a therapist, educator, and supervisor, with much of my career spent serving in nonprofit settings. Those experiences deepened my belief that meaningful healing happens through compassion, emotional safety, and authentic human connection. Since transitioning into private practice in 2022, I have continued specializing in experiential therapies that support deeper emotional transformation and attachment healing for women.
I am trained in Emotion Focused Therapy and Internal Family Systems and hold certifications as a Beginner Practitioner of Coherence Therapy and a Trust Based Relational Intervention Practitioner. My work is grounded in warmth, curiosity, clinical depth, and respect for the complexity of being human.
