Why Work With Me?

As both a therapist and business owner, I understand the dedication, focus, and persistence it takes to build something meaningful.

As a business owner I understand…

• The pressure of being the person others rely on

• The responsibility that doesn't always end when the workday is over

• The tendency to keep pushing forward through setbacks, disappointments, and challenges because that's simply what needs to be done

Over the years, I've worked with many ambitious, successful women. Women who arrive looking ready for whatever obstacles show up in the day, but privately struggle with overthinking, self-doubt, burnout, and a feeling that they can’t fully relax.

Many also found that the stress they were carrying wasn't staying contained to work. It was showing up at home, too.

They felt-

• Less present with their partners and loved ones.

• More irritable with the people they cared about

• Disconnected from relationships that mattered deeply to them

  These feelings were not due to a lack of care, but to the little emotional energy left after spending so much of it managing responsibilities, solving problems, and keeping everything moving forward.

What I've noticed is that these struggles-

• Are rarely about a lack of ability

• Are often connected to long-standing patterns that once led toward success, but are now getting in the way of the peace of mind they miss from their day

I Understand This Personally

My own personal journey has led me to develop a passion for helping driven women re-capture their resilience. Growing up, I learned to make myself smaller in certain situations. I hesitated to speak up, even when I had ideas to contribute. Early in my career, I found myself second-guessing my voice in meetings and questioning my perspective, despite being capable and qualified. I developed patterns early on as a way to cope with difficult family, social, and professional situations.

The reason I share that isn't that your story will look exactly like mine.

It's because meaningful change is possible.

The patterns that shaped you don't have to define you.

With insight, support, and intentional work, you can begin showing up with greater confidence, clarity, and trust in yourself—both in your business and in your life.

Sometimes the smallest shifts create the biggest changes.

More About Me

Becoming a therapist was a natural choice for me once I began to make choices that aligned with my own desires. I wished I had someone to talk to growing up, but I did not know how to advocate for myself. As a result, I kept a lot of those feelings inside. In the early years of my clinical training, I worked a lot with children and young adults with severe emotional and behavioral issues. While challenging, it was very rewarding work.

After returning from starting a family, I was fortunate to begin working with many professional women in the corporate world and business owners. A new passion ignited! A lot of the work I have done has been connected to trauma, both recent and stemming from childhood. What I had noticed is that once we dealt with past trauma, there were lingering issues related to the high demands of running a business and keeping up in the corporate world. There were patterns of overthinking, feeling not good enough, sleep issues, and work-life imbalances.

Because I am also a woman business owner, I remember those early days of overthinking, exhaustion, and worry. I remember the relief I felt putting those feelings behind me, beginning to feel great about my work, and the version of myself I give to others.
