I help women experiencing burnout anxiety and stress take their life back and find joy again!

Life can feel overwhelming especially when you’re juggling a demanding career, family, kids, and everything in between. I’m here to offer you a place to feel heard and understood without judgement. Together we will discover what is keeping you stuck in this rut and find a way out. Working through your challenges is easier when you have someone to walk beside you. Let’s find a way to bring joy back to your life so you can feel like you’re thriving again not just surviving. One of my specialties is Accelerated Resolution Therapy® (ART), a modality that can help treat symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma and more. All the work is done completely in session meaning there’s no homework or spending the rest of your week trying to change your mindset and then feeling like a failure when it’s harder than you expected. It also means you walk away from sessions ACTUALLY FEELING BETTER! After ART sessions I’ll often hear my clients say things like, “I feel so relaxed, I feel at ease, or clear minded, or accepting” or they are in utter shock of how differently they feel compared to when they came in.
