Welcome! I specialize in helping women, moms, and moms-to-be overcome anxiety and find peace of mind. I enjoy partnering with women to navigate worries, overthinking, and fears of not being good enough. In our work together, you’ll learn to set healthy boundaries without guilt, reconnect with your voice and needs, manage anxiety and self-doubt, and build confidence rooted in authenticity. My goal is for you to feel grounded, empowered, and at peace with yourself, defined by your choices, not others’ expectations.
