Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “I sound just like my mom,” and not always in ways you’d like?
Maybe you notice yourself overthinking, striving to keep the peace, or feeling responsible for everyone else’s happiness. You might struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, or codependent patterns that leave you feeling invisible or “never enough.” Or perhaps you see your mother or your daughter living out those same struggles and wonder how these cycles keep repeating.
I help women understand and heal the invisible threads that run through generations: anxiety, perfectionism, codependency, and the echoes of addiction. Using a psychodynamic approach, we’ll uncover the emotional stories and early experiences that shaped your sense of self. With CBT tools, you’ll learn practical ways to challenge self-critical thoughts, strengthen boundaries, and build authentic confidence.
Therapy with me is warm, curious, and real. We’ll explore deep patterns with compassion and maybe even find moments to laugh as we rewrite old narratives together. My goal is to help you move from self-doubt to self-trust, from people-pleasing to presence, from surviving to thriving.
Whether you’re a mom wanting to break old cycles or a daughter learning to reclaim your voice, this is your space to heal, rebuild your self-esteem, and create the calm, connected life you deserve.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
