Counseling services

Do you power through your day but are left with a general feeling of emptiness or dread? Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, perfectionism, high functioning depression, or ADHD. Navigating these challenges can be daunting as sometimes they are invisible to others. 

You've always been the capable one. The one who met deadlines at the last minute, remembered everyone else's needs, and somehow held it all together. People praised your abilities and success, but they never saw the endless mental lists, the forgotten appointments, the self-criticism, perfectionism or the exhaustion that came from trying so hard just to appear "normal." 

Maybe you spent years believing you were overly emotional, disorganized, lazy, or simply not trying hard enough. Then, one day, you learned it wasn't a character flaw—it was ADD/ADHD that had gone unrecognized for years. Now you're left wondering, 

Who would I have been if I had known sooner?

Perhaps you are dealing with difficulties adjusting to everyday life or major life transitions related to identity, relationships, career, menopause, aging, unresolved trauma or grief. 

I offer a safe space to understand how past experiences shaped you, to grieve what was missed, and begin building a life rooted in 

self-compassion and authenticity instead of self-criticism. You don't have to keep surviving by pretending to be OK. Together, we can help you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath the  guilt and shame.

Through a trauma-informed approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), self-compassion, executive functioning and/or lifestyle coaching, I help individuals understand how these experiences have shaped their beliefs, relationships, and nervous systems. Together, we work to reduce shame, strengthen self-trust, build practical skills, and create lives that align with who they truly are—not who they were told they should be.
