When life feels like too much—your heart races, your chest tightens until it’s hard to breathe, the tension in your shoulders feels paralyzing, and your mind loops the same worries on repeat—know this: anxiety isn’t just in your head. It’s in your body, your breath, your sleep, and your ability to get through the day.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not broken—and you’re definitely not alone.

I work with parents and young adults who feel overwhelmed by life transitions, people-pleasing, and big emotions like guilt, anger, and sadness. I take a holistic, strengths-based approach, using tools that calm your nervous system, restore balance, and help you reconnect with yourself.

Together, we’ll untangle the tension in your body, the sleepless nights, the chest tightness that shows up uninvited, and the thoughts that won’t quit—even when everything on the outside looks “fine.

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need space—a safe, supportive place to breathe, feel grounded, laugh and come home to yourself.

You deserve to feel good—not just survive, but truly thrive
