For women who hold it all together—until they can’t.

You're the one everyone leans on — but inside, you're unraveling.

I help high-functioning women heal the trauma, anxiety, and burnout they’ve carried for too long. Let’s stop surviving and start healing.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Anxiety & Trauma
Therapy for Women

in Farmington, CT and
online for NY

Healing doesn’t mean doing more. I create a space where you can be your whole self—messy, hurting, unsure—and still feel heard, held and guided. If you’re ready to feel seen, be supported, and get your relationships solid, book a free consult.

No Matter How You Show Up, Here’s How We Help

  • A woman with brown hair and glasses, wearing a white blouse and a flowy black skirt, leaning against a textured stone wall outdoors with her arms crossed and eyes closed.

    Therapy For Women


    Helping high-achieving women and caregivers set boundaries, ease inner pressure, and reconnect with themselves.

  • A woman with short hair and earrings, wearing a yellow shirt and blue jeans, standing outdoors with trees in the background, smiling and looking to the side.

    Trauma Therapy


    EMDR, somatic, and integrative approaches to help you heal the weight of what you’ve carried for too long — so you can move forward with more ease, clarity, and peace.

  • A young woman sitting cross-legged outdoors in a park amid fallen autumn leaves, wearing a black beanie, denim jacket, black pants, and tan boots, smiling with her eyes closed and hands pressed together in a prayer position.

    Anxiety & Stress Therapy


    For the overthinkers, perfectionists, and high-functioning women who can't turn their minds off. Interrupt the cycles of fear and worry, so you can finally breathe.

  • A woman sitting on a rocky hill taking notes in a notebook surrounded by greenery and foggy weather.

    Integrative Intensives


    Focused, personalized sessions combining evidence-based modalities and restorative practices to help you heal deeply in less time.
    Choose 2-hour, full-day, or multi-day options to mend, manage, and master.

Work with Our Intern
