Bio: I support high‑achieving women who are used to holding everything together: at work, at home, and in their communities. Many of my clients are the ones others rely on: the problem‑solvers, the caregivers, the leaders who rarely let anything slip. On the outside, they appear confident and capable. On the inside, they’re often exhausted, overwhelmed, and carrying more than anyone realizes.

In our work together, you don’t have to perform or prove anything. You get to slow down. You get to be honest. You get to be human.

My approach is client‑led, trauma‑informed, and grounded in anti‑oppressive practice. I understand how perfectionism, people‑pleasing, and chronic self‑pressure can be shaped by identity, culture, family expectations, and the roles women are taught to play. Together, we explore the patterns that helped you succeed and the ones that now leave you depleted.

I support women navigating:

• high‑functioning anxiety
• burnout and over-responsibility
• perfectionism and self‑criticism
• intergenerational expectations
• the pressure to “have it all together”

Using evidence‑based modalities like CBT, DBT, EFT and EMDR, I help you reconnect with your inner voice, soften the relentless self‑judgment, and build a life that feels aligned not just impressive.

If you’re a high‑achieving woman who has spent years pushing through, performing, and prioritizing everyone else, therapy can be the place where you finally exhale. You deserve support that honours both your strength and your tenderness.

If this resonates, let’s connect. Your healing doesn’t have to wait.
