You’ve Been the Rock for Everyone Else—Now It’s Your Turn to Feel Supported

You're the one who keeps it together.
The one who smiles even when you're screaming inside.
The one who does it all, yet feels invisible.

You’re high-achieving, emotionally aware, and secretly exhausted.
You’ve outgrown who you had to be to survive—but you’re not sure who you are underneath it all.
If that hits? You're in the right place.

Therapist, Mom, Recovering People-Pleaser

Someone who’s been where you are—and fought her way back to herself.

I’m a licensed therapist and mother of two who knows what it’s like to look “fine” while drowning in guilt, resentment, and overstimulation.

I started She Rises, Therapy because I was tired of watching strong women disappear into motherhood, marriage, and mental overload.

My mission is simple:
To help overwhelmed, high-functioning women stop shrinking and finally feel calm, confident, and emotionally safe in their own lives.

What Therapy with Me is Like…

Therapy with me isn’t a passive nod-and-smile session.

It's bold. Compassionate. Real.

✔️ I’ll help you spot the patterns that keep you stuck
✔️ Gently call out the inner critic that says “you’re too much”
✔️ Help you name what you need without guilt
✔️ Support you in reconnecting with who you really are—not just who everyone else needed you to be

You’ll feel safe—but also challenged to rise.

Who I Work With…

I specialize in working with high-achieving, emotionally overloaded moms who are navigating:

  • Burnout from the mental load of motherhood

  • People-pleasing, perfectionism & low self-worth

  • Postpartum anxiety, overstimulation, or rage

  • Identity loss and disconnection from self

  • Resentment in marriage or the “roommate phase”

  • Constant overthinking, guilt, and emotional exhaustion

If you’re wondering “Who even am I anymore?”—this is for you.

My Approach to Therapy:

Deep. Honest. Emotion-Focused.

You don’t need fluffy advice. You need therapy that gets under the surface and helps you heal.

I use:

  • Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT): to process big emotions and build emotional safety

  • Relational + Attachment-Based Therapy: to uncover patterns rooted in your early relationships

  • Cognitive & Psychodynamic Tools: to rewrite beliefs, reset boundaries, and help you step into self-worth

Therapy with me is both science-backed and soul-deep.
