Sometimes there isn't a crisis.

You might have a good job, supportive relationships, and still feel exhausted, resentful, anxious, or disconnected from yourself.

Many women spend years carrying responsibilities, managing everyone else's needs, and pushing through stress without realizing how much they're holding. Therapy can help uncover what's underneath that overwhelm so you're not just surviving your life—you actually feel connected to it again.

Being capable doesn't make you immune to burnout.

Many high-functioning women are used to being the reliable one—the helper, achiever, caretaker, or problem-solver. Over time, constantly meeting expectations while ignoring your own needs can leave you feeling emotionally exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or like you're barely keeping it together behind the scenes.

Therapy can help you understand the patterns that keep you stuck in survival mode and create a life that feels more sustainable.

For many women, boundaries weren't modeled growing up.

You may have learned that being "good" meant being helpful, accommodating, self-sacrificing, or putting everyone else's needs first. As a result, setting boundaries can trigger guilt, anxiety, or fears of disappointing others.

In therapy, we'll explore where those beliefs came from and help you build boundaries that protect your well-being without losing yourself in the process.

Absolutely.

Family roles, cultural expectations, generational patterns, and messages about responsibility, success, and sacrifice can have a significant impact on mental health.

Many women carry invisible pressures around caregiving, achievement, loyalty, and identity. Therapy provides space to examine these experiences, decide what still serves you, and create a life that feels more authentic.

Trauma doesn't always look like flashbacks or obvious distress.

Unresolved trauma can show up as:

• chronic overthinking

• people-pleasing

• perfectionism

• difficulty trusting others

• feeling responsible for everyone

• emotional numbness

• hypervigilance

• difficulty resting

• anxiety that never fully shuts off

Many of these responses once helped you survive difficult experiences. Therapy can help you understand these patterns and begin creating new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Trauma therapy isn't about forcing you to relive painful experiences or share every detail of your story.

We'll move at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Together, we'll explore patterns, nervous system responses, relationships, beliefs about yourself, and experiences that may still be impacting your life today.

Depending on your needs, treatment may include EMDR, parts work, somatic interventions, and other trauma-informed approaches.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy approach designed to help people process distressing experiences that continue to impact them in the present.

EMDR helps the brain reprocess experiences that may feel "stuck," reducing the emotional intensity associated with painful memories. Many clients find that experiences that once felt overwhelming begin to feel more manageable and less disruptive to daily life.

You do not have to share every detail of your experiences for EMDR to be effective.

Overthinking is often more than simply "thinking too much."

For many people, overthinking develops as a way to stay safe, anticipate problems, avoid mistakes, or maintain control in uncertain situations.

While these strategies may have once been protective, they can eventually become exhausting. Therapy can help you understand what your overthinking is trying to accomplish and develop new ways of responding that don't leave you feeling depleted.

I am currently in-network with several insurance providers, including:

• Aetna

• Cigna

• Blue Cross Blue Shield

• United Healthcare (Optum)

• Oscar Health

• Oxford

Insurance coverage and out-of-pocket costs vary by plan. You can verify benefits through Headway prior to scheduling.

Research consistently shows that virtual therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy for many concerns, including anxiety, trauma, stress, and burnout.

Virtual therapy also offers flexibility, convenience, and the opportunity to participate from the comfort of your own space.

Not exactly. I’ll offer perspective, strategies, and questions to help you understand yourself more clearly — but therapy isn’t about being told what to do.
It’s about finding what actually works for you (not what everyone else says you “should” do).

Getting started is simple.

You can schedule an appointment directly online or reach out through my contact page if you'd like to ask questions first. During our first session, we'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and begin building a plan that feels supportive and aligned with your needs.
