You've mastered performing. You're done surviving. Let's do the actual healing.

You've done everything the books told you to do. You have the vocabulary, the self-awareness, and the insight…and the patterns are still there. That's not a failure. That's your body holding on to something your mind already understands. I help high-achieving women release stored trauma so the insights you already have can actually land in your relationships, your body, and the way you move through the world.

You're the one people call when things fall apart. You hold it together for everyone at work, at home, in your family, in your friendships. You've been doing it so long you stopped noticing how heavy it is. What you have noticed: the resentment building, the relationships that drain more than they fill, and the exhaustion that no amount of sleep touches.

Through tools like Brainspotting and IFS, we’ll get to the root of what’s really keeping you stuck so you can finally step into the relationships you actually want.

We might be a great fit if…

  • You're burning out and can't figure out why. You're doing everything right, and it's still not enough.

  • You're exhausted from being the capable one, the reliable one, the one who holds it all together.

  • You're angry. Not sad, ANGRY. At relationships that take more than they give, at systems that were never built for you, at yourself for going along with it for so long.

  • You've been in therapy before, read every self-help book, and the insight is there but something in your body hasn't caught up.

  • You've recently been diagnosed with ADHD or autism as an adult and suddenly everything makes sense- the exhaustion, the over performance, the masking. But now you need help figuring out who you actually are underneath all of it.

  • You're in perimenopause (or suspect you are) and what's shifting emotionally feels bigger than hormones, like something in you is finally refusing to keep tolerating what no longer fits.

  • You're deconstructing from religion, from family systems, from the "good girl" script and you need support for what that actually costs.

  • You keep trying to out-think your patterns but the loop keeps repeating, and you're ready to try something that goes deeper than talk.

None of this is permanent. And you don't have to figure out the way through alone.

Why Talking About It Hasn't Been Enough

For high-achieving women, talk therapy often becomes another thing you're good at. You process, you analyze, you come up with frameworks for your patterns and then go home and repeat them anyway. That's not a character flaw. That's a body holding stored trauma that no amount of insight can reach on its own.

Brainspotting works differently. It bypasses the thinking brain and accesses the deeper places where trauma actually lives in the nervous system, in the body, in the subconscious. For women who've been masking, over performing, or managing invisible loads for years, this approach often creates shifts that feel faster and more fundamental than anything they've tried before.

My Approach

I create a space where you can be completely yourself. Yes, including if you cuss like a sailor and want to vent before we get to the deep stuff. My clients often describe me as someone they'd grab coffee with, except I also help them dismantle 30 years of conditioning.

I'm skilled, warm, and funny as hell. I don't pretend to be a blank wall. If something in our session moves me, I'll say so because I believe real healing happens in real connection, not in a clinical performance of neutrality.

I bring specialized training in Brainspotting and Internal Family Systems, and I stay genuinely curious about the research. I'm the kind of therapist who reads psychology papers for fun and is also watching the same Netflix show as you. Both things are true.

What Changes You Can Expect

What working together actually changes:

  • Your relationships stop feeling like a transaction where you're always the one paying.

  • You set a boundary and don't spend the next three days managing everyone's feelings about it.

  • The exhaustion lifts, not because life gets easier, but because you stop dragging a 50-pound invisible weight through it.

  • If you're newly diagnosed with ADHD or autism, you stop punishing yourself for how your brain works and start building a life actually designed for it.

  • If you're in perimenopause, the emotional shifts start to feel like information instead of a breakdown.

  • The beliefs that were handed to you either by religion, by family, by a culture that needed you to stay small loosen their grip.

  • You know who you are when you're not performing for anyone.
