Empowering Women and Gender-Diverse Individuals to Overcome Burnout, Trauma, and Life Transitions

This is your space to slow down, heal, and reconnect with yourself

You’ve held it together for a long time - but lately, it feels heavier.

Whether you're navigating burnout, chronic stress, the impact of trauma, illness, or hormonal changes like menopause…
Or carrying the quiet weight of always being the one others depend on -
You don’t have to keep doing it all on your own.

Maybe you’ve spent years managing complicated family dynamics - trying to maintain peace, hold boundaries, or untangle yourself from the impact of emotionally immature or narcissistic parents.
If so, you’re not alone - and you’re not too much.

You’ve carried alot.
But you’re tired - and you want support that’s steady, grounded, and meaningful.

If you’ve landed here, you might be tired of holding it all together - and ready for something to shift.
Ready to stop just coping.
Ready to feel more connected to yourself.
Ready for the kind of support that doesn’t expect you to perform or push through.

I support women, couples, and gender-diverse individuals who are thoughtful, self-aware, and often carrying far too much - quietly, and for far too long. I offer therapy, mindfulness programs, coaching, and small group spaces for those who are ready for deeper healing. This is a space where you can slow down, take a breath, and feel supported in a way that truly meets your needs.

Together, we’ll make space for healing that lasts.
