Women, do you feel the pressure to excel and succeed, constantly striving for perfection in every aspect of your lives? This relentless pressure to meet high expectations can lead to stress, anxiety, and even physical health issues, leaving you with little to no work-life balance or time for self-care. As a high-achieving woman, you may face societal expectations and stereotypes that can leave you feeling isolated and lonely, resulting in feelings of imposter syndrome—doubting your abilities and questioning your hard-earned successes. By working with me, you can begin to address these issues and take steps toward healing. Together, we'll explore past traumas that inform your decisions, develop strategies to manage stress and anxiety, cultivate self-compassion, and foster a healthier work-life balance. My supportive approach will help you redefine success on your terms, build confidence in your abilities, and create a space where you feel empowered to thrive.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session serves to learn about your needs and background so that we can make a plan and get to work quickly on uncovering blocks to you reaching your goals. Our first session looks like a bit of paperwork and it is the most crucial step to us working together. I want to learn what you need from therapy and what you might have experienced on this journey. Then, we'll dig in and get to work!
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Clients tell me that I'm easy to talk to and that they feel safe talking about scary and dark thoughts and feelings. I am humbled to be able to bear witness to another's pain and hold our space with compassion and confidence.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I specialize in empowering high-achieving teens and high-functioning women who seek to conquer anxiety and perfectionism while establishing strong and healthy boundaries. Together, we shift from self-doubt to a growth mindset, transforming negative self-talk into self-empowerment and strengthening emotional intelligence. Many women initially feel stuck and uncertain about their struggles—until we reveal how childhood experiences have shaped their patterns. That’s where the magic begins! Healing starts, clarity unfolds, and they reconnect with their true purpose. You are capable of so much more, and I’m here to help you embrace your potential!

Virtual & in-personMy treatment methods
EMDR
As a therapist, I am thrilled to share my extensive experience using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) in my practice. This transformative treatment method has proven incredibly effective in helping my clients process and heal from past traumas, phobias, and negative beliefs. The power of EMDR lies in its ability to reprocess distressing memories and integrate positive beliefs, ultimately leading to lasting change and personal growth. It brings me great joy to witness the incredible resilience and strength of my clients as they navigate their healing journey with EMDR by their side.
Motivational Interviewing
Picture having a conversation with someone who genuinely comprehends the challenges you're facing, validating your feelings of guilt, low self-esteem, and uncertainty about your purpose. If you're feeling overwhelmed and trapped, I will create a nurturing environment where your struggles are recognized and your needs are honored - we'll collaborate to discover solutions that will empower you to regain your equilibrium and self-assurance.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT can be an incredibly beneficial and powerful intervention for women struggling with imposter syndrome, anxiety, and low self-esteem. By challenging and reframing the negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to these issues, women can develop more positive and accurate self-perceptions. CBT provides practical coping strategies to manage anxiety symptoms such as deep breathing exercises or progressive muscle relaxation techniques and allows us to explore the root causes of challenges. Then we can problem-solve skills and solutions to address them head-on.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
ACT therapy offers empowering techniques that help women cultivate self-compassion, clarify their values, and develop psychological flexibility. By mindfully acknowledging and accepting difficult emotions, thoughts, and experiences, you can learn to navigate life's challenges with resilience and grace. We'll explore your innermost desires and fears, gaining newfound clarity on what truly matters to you, and allowing you to break free from limiting beliefs and expectations. I want you to embrace your authenticity and worthiness, and live boldly in alignment with your true self.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Solution-focused interventions are incredibly beneficial for women, as they offer a safe space for identifying strengths, and setting achievable goals. By focusing on strengths and resources rather than dwelling on problems, solution-focused therapy empowers women to tap into their own resilience and problem-solving abilities.
