online
psychotherapy
for women
a therapist who gets you
I’m a CBT-certified therapist specializing in helping women overcome “imposter syndrome,” perfectionism, and hidden trauma - so they can finally heal, reconnect with their inner strengths, and create a life that feels true to who they’re becoming.
My practice brings real clinical training, lived experience, and a deep respect for your story, your strengths and your complexity.

cognitive
behavioral
therapy
CBT gives us the structure to explore what’s happening in your head, your heart, and your core - while offering tools to gently shift the cycles that keep you stuck.
I’m trained and certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but my approach goes deeper than thought tracking and behavioral strategies. I help clients explore the roots of their patterns—where they began, how they’ve been reinforced over time, and why they still show up. Understanding the full story matters. It’s not just about managing symptoms—it’s about uncovering what shaped them in the first place, so we can shift those patterns from the inside out.
“Not just thoughts and behaviors - your whole story matters.”
Anxiety isn’t always just about stress - it’s often rooted in old wounds. Trauma can wire your nervous system to stay on high alert, second-guess everything, or keep you stuck in self-blame. My approach to CBT helps untangle that. We explore the patterns and the deeper stuff - the beliefs and stories that formed when you had to protect yourself.
Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s gentle, yet honest, and shaped around your needs.
cbt for women navigating anxiety & trauma
the head
When anxiety takes over the mind, buries the heart, and rewrites your worth — this is where the work begins.
the core beliefs
These deep-rooted beliefs likely began long ago - and they’ve shaped how you show up in every part of your life.
You’re always in your head — second-guessing, overanalyzing, replaying every conversation. You’ve achieved so much, yet still feel like a fraud, like you just got lucky. Your brain sets impossible standards and won’t let you rest.
I help you quiet the inner critic and build real confidence — not the “just think positive” kind, but the kind that actually sticks.
If this sounds familiar, it’s because this is what I specialize in - and who I show up for.
the heart
The feelings you’ve tucked away.
You might not even call it trauma—but something happened, or didn’t happen, that left a mark. Emotional neglect, betrayal, loss, or never feeling safe to feel.
Now, you feel things deeply… or not at all. Relationships get complicated. You might shut down, people-please, or react in ways that confuse even you. It’s your heart’s way of protecting itself.
I help you gently untangle the past and give your heart space to feel, heal, and trust again.
