You’re the one everyone relies on. Capable, responsible, and always holding it together—until it starts to cost you. You may feel wired but exhausted, overwhelmed by simple tasks, or stuck in cycles of burnout and shutdown. Many of my clients don’t call it “overfunctioning,” but they know something isn’t working. I help women understand their nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and rebuild sustainable ways of thinking, working, and relating—so life feels manageable again, not like something to survive.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

I specialize in nervous system regulation, chronic overwhelm, and executive function challenges. Together, we untangle patterns of over-responsibility, reduce mental load, and build practical systems that work with your brain, not against it. My approach is structured, compassionate, and focused on real-life change.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Whenever I work with clients, I address what THEY want to work on. I like to understand what clients see as problematic and what vision of their "ideal" life would be. We work on identifying goals geared to helping people get closer to that ideal life. A client who is a good fit with me is also someone who values authenticity. As a client myself, I don't like for a therapist to give me a lot of clinical jargon. That does nothing for me. Instead, I look for people who I find relatable and real. In return, I try to be that same type of therapist with my own clients.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I specialize in working with women who carry a lot on their shoulders. Whether it's at work, home, or both, these women hold everything together. They also pay a price. Stress, foggy brain, difficulty starting or finishing tasks, exhaustion that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. They may feel overwhelmed by simple tasks, or stuck in cycles of burnout and shutdown. These women know something isn't "right", but they may not know what's going wrong.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Changing thought patterns and learning to reframe situations can help shift mood.

Acceptance and commitment (ACT)

Acceptance is often the pathway to healing. This is a treatment method used to identify values and live accordingly to those.

Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
