(she/her)
You are capable, dependable, and used to carrying a great deal on your shoulders. Others often look to you for support, strength, and stability. But even the strongest people can begin to feel emotionally exhausted when stress becomes constant and there is little time to rest, recover, or care for themselves. I specialize in working with healthcare professionals, caregivers, leaders, and high-achieving adults who are experiencing burnout, chronic stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are functioning well on the outside while internally feeling drained, mentally overloaded, disconnected from themselves, or uncertain about their sense of purpose. With over 13 years of clinical experience across healthcare systems, private practice, and community settings, I understand how prolonged pressure and responsibility can quietly impact emotional well-being. My approach is warm, supportive, and grounded in helping clients slow down, reconnect with themselves, strengthen healthy boundaries, and build a more sustainable and balanced way of living — not just surviving.
Our first session is structured yet supportive. We will explore what has brought you to therapy, clarify how stress or burnout is impacting your daily functioning, and identify the patterns contributing to emotional exhaustion. Together, we’ll establish clear, measurable goals and begin developing a focused treatment plan tailored to your needs. You will leave with initial insights and practical next steps.
I combine clinical depth with practical structure. My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), nervous system regulation, and strengths-based care. I help clients identify stress-driven thinking patterns, reduce cognitive distortions linked to overperformance, and implement clear boundary strategies that protect their capacity. Clients often describe my style as calm, direct, and solution-oriented. I prioritize measurable progress, emotional regulation, and long-term resilience.
I work best with professionals, caregivers, and high-achieving individuals who are carrying a great deal while trying to hold everything together. Many of my clients are navigating workplace stress, burnout, compassion fatigue, leadership pressure, or high-functioning anxiety. On the outside, they may appear capable and dependable, while internally feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode. My approach is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and practical. I strive to create a supportive space where clients feel safe slowing down, processing their experiences, and reconnecting with themselves without judgment. Together, we focus on building healthier boundaries, emotional balance, sustainable coping strategies, and long-term resilience through meaningful insight and actionable tools. If you are ready to begin prioritizing your well-being, restoring a sense of balance, and creating lasting change in your life, we are likely a strong fit. Please note: My practice focuses on therapeutic treatment, emotional wellness, and long-term stress resilience. While I do not complete FMLA or short-term disability paperwork, I remain committed to providing compassionate therapeutic support throughout your healing journey.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and restructure stress-driven thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, over-responsibility, and emotional exhaustion. Many high-achieving professionals operate from deeply ingrained beliefs about performance, productivity, and self-worth. In our work together, we examine these cognitive patterns, assess how they impact mood and behavior, and implement structured strategies to develop more balanced, sustainable ways of thinking. CBT in my practice is practical and goal-oriented. Clients learn concrete tools to reduce cognitive distortions, improve emotional regulation, and make decisions from clarity rather than pressure.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I integrate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients clarify goals and identify existing strengths that can be leveraged for change. Rather than centering sessions solely on problems, we explore moments when stress feels more manageable and build on those exceptions. Through scaling questions, targeted goal setting, and measurable progress tracking, clients gain momentum and a clearer sense of direction. This approach is particularly effective for professionals navigating burnout, workplace stress, and high-functioning anxiety because it keeps therapy structured, forward-moving, and results-oriented.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing to help clients move through ambivalence and strengthen internal commitment to change. High-achieving individuals often know what needs to shift but struggle with competing pressures, guilt, or fear of letting others down. Through reflective dialogue, open-ended exploration, and values clarification, I support clients in identifying their own reasons for change. This collaborative process enhances autonomy, confidence, and follow-through, allowing behavioral adjustments to feel aligned rather than forced.
