You don’t have to do it alone
Supporting high-achievers, nurturers, and thoughtful creatives who carry a lot internally while appearing strong on the outside.
Schedule a SessionWelcome. I’m glad you’re here.
You’re capable, thoughtful, and dependable — the one others rely on. You give generously, care deeply, and keep going, even when it’s exhausting.
Inside, though, it may feel different. Anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, or overwhelm can quietly persist, even when you’re doing all the “right” things. You might find yourself wondering why it still feels so hard, or why you feel alone despite appearing strong.
I work with adults, teens, and children who are high-achieving, nurturing, and deeply thoughtful — people who carry a lot internally while showing up for others on the outside. I offer relational, trauma-informed therapy through online sessions in California and Florida, as well as Walk & Talk therapy in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Therapy can be a space where you don’t have to hold everything together.
Together, we slow down, create space, and gently untangle what’s been weighing on you. Our work supports steadiness, reduced self-criticism, and a kinder, more connected relationship with yourself — while honoring your strengths and values.
You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. Showing up is enough.
If you’re seeking therapy for anxiety, burnout, or perfectionism — online or in the Bay Area — you don’t have to manage this alone. The next step doesn’t have to be big. We can begin with a conversation.
Support can take different forms. What matters most is finding an approach that meets you where you are.
How I Can Help
Individual Therapy
Thoughtful, one-on-one support tailored to where you or your child/teen are in life.
Anxiety & Nervous System Support
Help with anxiety, overwhelm, and chronic stress—supporting steadiness, regulation, and more ease in daily life.
Healing Early Wounds
Childhood Experiences & Adult Patterns
Exploring how early experiences shape present-day emotions, beliefs, and patterns—and creating room for new ways of being.
Grief & Loss
A compassionate space to process grief, loss, and change—without pressure to “move on” before you’re ready.
Brainspotting
A gentle, brain-based approach that helps process what’s held in the nervous system, supporting deeper healing beyond talk alone.
“The good life is a process—not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.”
If you’re wondering whether therapy might be helpful—for you or for your child—you’re not alone.
Many people, including parents, feel unsure about when to seek support or how to make sense of what they’re noticing while juggling everything else. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—just space to ask questions, share what’s been weighing on you, and explore whether this feels like the right fit.
