You just want to get your s**t together…
…quiet the noise, and feel in control—but those deep-breathing hacks and stress-tip reels you’ve been scrolling through? They’re NOT cutting it.
Therapy for the overthinkers juggling-it-all, ready to ditch stress, anxiety, and the mental chaos of adulting. Virtually in California, Washington D.C., Florida, and Arizona.
Feeling like every day starts with bracing yourself for another round of barely holding it together?
Cue the tornado brain: swirling thoughts, chest heaviness, and that delightful mix of anxiety and shame.
Adulting already feels hard enough, and this mental overload? Yeah, it’s not helping.
I get it.
You want to rediscover you—underneath the stress, life transitions, and all the curveballs life loves to throw at us.
*Deep breath* Now, picture this: you’re facing life’s challenges with ease, walking through each day with unshakable confidence, and leaving the hurricane of worry far behind. (Yup, that’s the peace you’ve been craving!)
And that peace and calm isn’t just in your head (though we love a calm inner voice!)—it’s showing up in your career, relationships, and even how you stroll through the grocery store.
I mix up a personalized cocktail of DBT and CBT therapy techniques, mindfulness, EMDR, and a dash of humor—just for you.
My goal? For you to leave each session feeling like you just curled up with the coziest hot cup of tea – relaxed, safe, and calm.
I’ve spent nearly 15 years in the mental health field, helping those feeling overwhelmed and under pressure, like you, navigate stress, heal from trauma, and most importantly, live their best lives
