LCSW, 6 years of experience
I help high-achieving women and teens break free from perfectionism, self-doubt, and the constant pressure to feel “enough.” On the outside, many of my clients seem successful—but inside, they’re navigating anxiety, overwhelm, or the weight of past experiences shaping how they see themselves. As a neurodivergent therapist with ADHD, I know firsthand how a busy brain can feel isolating and chaotic. That perspective guides my approach: compassionate, flexible, and tailored to how each person thinks, feels, and processes the world. In our work together, I help clients uncover the patterns fueling stress while giving practical tools to feel grounded and confident. Teens learn to manage big emotions and social pressures, while women release old beliefs, find balance, and redefine success on their own terms. My mission is simple: you deserve more than survival—you deserve to thrive. Let’s reconnect with your strengths and create a life that feels authentic and empowering.
Your first session is a safe, judgment-free space where we’ll get to know each other and your story. I’ll ask questions to understand what brings you to therapy, your goals, and the patterns or challenges that may be holding you back. Our first session is about building trust, clarity, and a sense of direction—so you leave feeling understood and hopeful about the path forward. You can expect: Listening and understanding — your experiences and feelings are fully seen and validated, an exploration of your goals — what you hope to achieve in therapy, an introduction to tools and approaches — including how EMDR works and how we might use it to start healing past experiences, a collaborative plan — we’ll discuss next steps tailored to your needs and comfort.
What sets my approach apart is the combination of deep understanding, practical strategies, and personalized care. I specialize in working with high-achieving women and teens who struggle with anxiety, perfectionism, or the weight of past experiences. Ultimately, my approach is about helping you reclaim your life with lasting results that feel authentic and empowering. I use EMDR to help your brain reprocess difficult memories so they no longer feel overwhelming, allowing real shifts in how you experience yourself and your world. My work is collaborative and flexible, tailored to how each client thinks, feels, and processes life. Clients often notice a reduction in anxiety and self-doubt, greater confidence and clarity, a stronger sense of control over thoughts, emotions, and daily life, and the ability to move from simply surviving to truly thriving.
I work best with high-achieving women and teens who are tired of feeling trapped by perfectionism, self-doubt, or constant pressure to “do it all.” My ideal clients may look confident and capable on the outside but struggle internally with anxiety, overwhelm, or past experiences that shape their self-image. You’re a good fit if you’re ready to: break free from self-criticism and people-pleasing, reconnect with your strengths and sense of self, build confidence and coping tools for life’s pressures, and move beyond simply surviving and start thriving. If you’re seeking a therapist who combines compassion, flexibility, and practical strategies, and truly understands what it’s like to live with a busy, high-achieving mind, we’ll work well together.
