About Me

I specialize in working with the hustlers and superstars who tend to overthink, over-do, and over-people please. Maybe you can relate... -You look like you’ve got it together… but inside you’re anxious, exhausted, or quietly ashamed for struggling. -Your body is waving red flags (tension, fatigue, stress symptoms) and you’re tired of powering through. -You’ve spent years people-pleasing, over-achieving, and staying “strong” — and you’re ready to stop shrinking. Many of the folks I work with describe themselves as high-achievers, perfectionists, or people-pleasers who feel burned out, anxious, and secretly wish someone would actually notice they're human. I may be a good fit for you if your brain never shuts up, you hold yourself to gold-medal standards, and you're secretly tired of being the "strong one."
