About My Clients
I work with women, mothers, and teen girls who carry more than anyone realizes — the expectations, the emotions, the endless responsibility of holding life together. They’re thoughtful and capable, but beneath the surface, there’s often worry, restlessness, and a quiet sense of disconnection from who they used to be. Many are navigating big transitions: the identity shifts of motherhood, the weight of perfectionism, or the growing pains of adolescence and menopause in an overwhelming world.
My Background and Approach
My work is grounded in a trauma-informed, compassionate approach that helps women and mothers feel calmer, more grounded, and less overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, and life transitions. Many clients come to therapy feeling stuck in overthinking, self-criticism, or emotional burnout, even when they appear to be managing well on the outside. Together, we focus on slowing things down, understanding what’s happening beneath the surface, and building practical tools to cope more effectively. I draw from EMDR, ACT, DBT, and body-based strategies to help clients feel safer in their bodies, more present in their lives, and more connected to what matters to them. Therapy is not about fixing you or pushing you to change before you’re ready. It’s a supportive space to feel understood, build emotional flexibility, and move toward greater ease, self-compassion, and balance.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe women’s mental health deserves to be taken seriously, supported openly, and talked about without shame. I believe that motherhood — whether new, expected, complicated, or deeply loved — can stretch a woman in ways that are rarely acknowledged. Anxiety, sadness, overwhelm, or emotional numbness are not signs of failure; they are often understandable responses to pressure, responsibility, and unmet support. I believe people can grow and change at any point in their lives. Many of the patterns that cause suffering are learned along the way — shaped by expectations, survival, and doing the best we could with what we had. That also means these patterns can be gently unlearned and replaced with healthier, more compassionate ways of relating to ourselves. My belief in this work is personal. I know what it’s like to live with anxiety and how freeing it can feel to no longer be controlled by it. That sense of relief, steadiness, and self-trust is possible — not by “fixing” yourself,
