You're not paying me to sit back quietly while you beautifully articulate what you already know.
I'll notice what slips past your brilliant mind, slow us down when something matters, and help us work with what insight alone hasn't changed.
You're at a breaking point.
What if this could become your turning point?
The women I work with:
I work with accomplished, self-reflecting women who carry significant responsibility in their professional lives—and who are navigating something in their personal lives that their usual strengths haven't been able to resolve.
My clients have included physicians, anesthesiologists, physician assistants, executive coaches, nurse practitioners, therapists, engineers, CEOs, CFOs, business owners, financial advisors, and other professionals and leaders - to include SAHMs who run their household business 24/7.
These are women accustomed to making decisions, managing complexity, and being relied upon.
But professional competence doesn't make someone immune to betrayal, grief, anxiety, relationship struggles, old wounds, or the exhaustion of living in patterns they desperately want to change.
And you don't have to be struggling professionally to need meaningful support.
You can be exceptionally capable at what you do and still feel completely lost in what
you're living through.
What Actually happens in session?
First things first: we ground.
Then, we talk. Of course we talk. But I'm paying attention to more than your words.
A shift in your voice. A sigh. A tightening in your shoulders. Something emotional moving through you before you've even noticed it.
I'll notice. And I might ask us to slow down.
Because while insight matters, so much more happens through experience.
So, we get curious about what's happening beneath the surface, making room for emotions, sensations, and protective parts of you that may have been overlooked or overridden for years.
We move at a pace your system can manage. Sometimes that means making space for grief. Sometimes it's finding your footing when life has knocked you sideways. And sometimes it's practicing something entirely different—setting a boundary, trusting yourself, or responding in a way that once felt impossible.
You don't have to become fearless to begin living more freely.
We work with what's happening now, discover where to go next, and create opportunities for you to experience yourself differently—not just in therapy, but in your actual life.
The Approaches I Draw From:
Somatic therapy: We pay attention to what's happening in your body and nervous system, not just the story you're telling about your experience. We work gently with sensations, emotions, and protective responses at a pace that supports your capacity to stay present.
Parts work (IFS-informed): We explore the different parts of you that may be frightened, protective, critical, driven, or overwhelmed—and cultivate a more compassionate, curious relationship with them.
EMDR: When appropriate, we use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to help process distressing experiences that continue to affect your present.
Depth-oriented therapy: We explore the patterns, meanings, and experiences beneath the surface, including those you may understand intellectually but haven't yet been able to change.
Coaching: This is where the work catches fire. Beyond healing what's hurt, we get fiercely curious about what lights you up, what you want, what you're capable of, and what becomes possible when you start choosing yourself.
I was a coach long before I became a therapist. That spirit of curiosity, possibility, and courageous action is woven into every aspect of my clinical work.
What we are working toward:
Part of our work is creating enough space to recognize what's happening without becoming completely consumed by it.
Something that once felt overwhelming becomes something you can notice, approach, and begin to interact with.
You're no longer entirely inside it. There's room for curiosity. For compassion. For perspective.
And most importantly, there's room for YOU.
The part of you that can access your intuition, recognize your values, make conscious choices, and decide how you want to respond.
Over time, we're working toward something much bigger than
managing symptoms. The capacity to stay connected to yourself—
even when life feels like it's breaking you.
Not because difficult emotions or protective responses disappear, but because they no longer have to be the ones making your decisions.
