You’re the one people depend on. The strong one. The capable one. But even strong women deserve a space to fall apart and rebuild without judgment. I’m a licensed clinical social worker with 13+ years of experience helping high-achieving women navigate anxiety, burnout, fertility, motherhood, grief, and identity shifts. Whether you're in college, early in your career, or building a life that looks great on paper but feels exhausting to maintain, therapy with me is a space to breathe. Together, we untangle what’s heavy so you can feel lighter, clearer, and more like yourself. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I use evidence-based tools like CBT and solution-focused therapy, but also bring humor, real talk, and heart. You don’t have to carry it all alone. I’m here when you’re ready.

Get to know me

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

In our first session, you’ll have space to speak freely about what’s been weighing on you. We’ll explore what brought you to therapy and what you hope to achieve. I’ll listen deeply and help us map a plan that feels right for you. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out. Come as you are, and we’ll begin from there.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Clients tell me they feel truly seen and understood in session. I bring warmth, clarity, and practical support to every conversation. I combine evidence-based approaches like CBT and solution-focused tools with meaningful emotional insight. I meet you where you are, help you build tools that work in your real life, and walk with you as you create lasting change.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I work especially well with high-achieving women and young adults who feel tired of holding everything together. Many are navigating college stress, early career demands, fertility questions, motherhood transitions, or identity shifts. If you’re ready to stop silently carrying it all and finally feel supported, grounded, and understood, this space is for you.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is a foundational part of my work, especially for women navigating anxiety, emotional overload, and perfectionism. With over 12 years of experience, I use CBT to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, challenge inner criticism, and build practical tools to manage stress. Whether you’re struggling with the mental load of motherhood, fertility stress, or high-pressure environments, CBT offers a structured, evidence-based path to reclaiming control, confidence, and clarity.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

SFBT is a powerful, strengths-based approach I use to help clients shift from feeling stuck to seeing real progress—fast. Rather than overanalyzing the past, we focus on what’s already working and how to build on it. I’ve used this approach to help high-achieving women manage burnout, create healthier boundaries, and feel more in alignment with their values. SFBT is ideal for clients who are motivated for change and appreciate focused, forward-moving sessions that lead to tangible results.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness is an integral part of how I help clients slow down, reconnect with themselves, and reduce the constant mental chatter that fuels anxiety and stress. I incorporate grounding techniques, breathwork, and present-moment awareness practices into sessions to help clients build emotional resilience and tune into what they truly need. Whether you're juggling a demanding career, caregiving roles, or both, mindfulness offers a practical way to create calm and stay anchored in your day-to-day life.
