For women who hold it all together—until they can’t.

You're the one everyone leans on — but inside, you're unraveling.

I help high-functioning women heal the trauma, anxiety, and burnout they’ve carried for too long. Let’s stop surviving and start healing.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Anxiety, Trauma & Stress Therapy for Women

in Farmington, CT and
online for NY

Healing doesn’t mean doing more. I create a space where you can be your whole self—messy, hurting, unsure—and still feel heard, held and guided. If you’re ready to feel seen, be supported, and get your relationships solid, book a free consult.
