What kind of clients do you typically work with?
The people who find their way here are often deeply capable, carrying a lot, and holding it all together even when they’re stretched thin. They keep going long after their mind and body have signaled them to stop, often at the cost of their own well-being.
Behind that drive, there’s often a mix of emotional exhaustion, mental fatigue, and the pressure to keep pushing forward. For some, it feels like compassion fatigue, the drain of caring for everyone else until there’s little left for themselves. For others, it’s the spiral of overthinking or self-doubt, pushing them to keep fixing and proving so they might finally feel “enough.”
Sometimes it shows up as a harsh inner critic that never lets them rest. And for some, burnout numbs everything, leaving them moving through life on autopilot after years of being “on” without pause.
This work offers a space to slow down, reconnect, and finally lay down the weight they’ve been carrying so they can begin to live in a way that truly sustains them.
How is this different from traditional coaching or therapy?
Therapy and coaching can overlap in themes, but they are not the same. Therapy focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. My coaching is forward-looking. We work on how you relate to yourself and your life, without entering the clinical realm.
Many life and burnout coaches focus on productivity, stress management, or goal-setting. Those tools can help, but they often stay at the surface. My approach is different. It is designed for people who feel deeply and know their burnout runs deeper than a busy calendar or a few new habits.
This work is holistic and trauma-informed. We address both the surface symptoms, such as stress, fatigue, and overwhelm, and the subconscious patterns that keep burnout in place. That can look like ignoring your own needs while caring for others, pushing past your limits through perfectionism and over-striving, or being driven by self-doubt and inner criticism.
The focus is not on short-term coping. It is on creating a lasting shift in how you relate to yourself so your life feels steadier, more spacious, and truly sustainable.
How do you work?
My work brings together two essential components: inner healing and everyday practices.
• Inner healing: building self-trust and emotional safety. Welcoming back the parts of you that have been muted or buried. Learning to relate to yourself in a new way and make choices that honor your values.
• Everyday practices: gentle ways to steady yourself when emotions run heavy, protect your energy without guilt, soothe your nervous system, quiet mental noise, and shape daily rhythms that nourish.
To support this process, I also weave in tools like mindfulness, guided imagery, and hypnosis, which work with the subconscious and help bring what’s beneath the surface into awareness.
Each session is intuitive and responsive. There’s no fixed script; we move with what’s alive in the moment so that change can take root and begin to reshape how you live, work, and care for yourself.
From holding everything together to being held by something honest within.
How is your coaching structured?
I offer a 3-month coaching container called Inner Return. It includes 12 weekly 1-on-1 sessions held on Zoom. The first session is 90 minutes; the rest are 75 minutes each. We meet at the same time each week, creating a steady rhythm that supports emotional presence, trust, and meaningful integration over time.
You’re welcome to begin with the first session as a standalone ($325). It’s a chance to experience the work before committing. If you choose to continue, that session counts as the start of your 3-month container, and the cost is applied toward the full fee.

Do you offer messaging or check-ins between sessions?
No, and that’s intentional.
This work isn’t something to dissect or replay like a lesson. It’s not about collecting insights or reanalyzing what was said. What matters most is what you felt in the moment and how that lives in your body and awareness after.
Instead of giving you more to process, I offer a weekly tending invitation: a simple, self-directed practice to support your connection between sessions.
It’s not homework. It’s not something to get right. It’s a gentle prompt to stay in relationship with yourself without slipping into performance mode.
Less bracing. More breathing.
Can this work support trauma healing?
This isn’t trauma treatment or crisis care. I don’t diagnose, treat, or provide clinical support for psychological conditions.
That said, many people with trauma histories find this work deeply supportive once they feel emotionally steady enough to explore their inner world with care. It offers a consistent, non-clinical space for self-awareness, emotional connection, and personal insight.
If you’re in active crisis, experiencing severe PTSD symptoms, or feeling emotionally unstable, it’s best to begin with a licensed therapist. This work often feels more helpful later, when there’s enough inner stability to go inward without feeling overwhelmed.
What shifts and changes do people notice?
This isn’t about quick fixes or peak performance. It’s about softening the pressure, reconnecting with the parts of you that have been sidelined, and building a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Clients often share that they:
• Feel more present and less on edge
• Notice a quiet steadiness that wasn’t there before
• Start trusting their own voice instead of overriding it
• Meet themselves with more compassion and acceptance
• Respond with less reactivity and move through challenges with more ease
• Enjoy better work-life balance and time off without guilt
• Relate to life with more openness and less armor
You may find yourself softening in surprising ways. Less bracing. More breathing. Decisions may feel clearer. Relationships may shift in ways that feel easier and more honest.
How will I know if this is the right fit?
This work may be right for you if you want a space to lay down the weight you’ve been carrying and feel supported in finding your own steadiness again.
You’ll have steady, week-to-week support to meet yourself with honesty and care, so you can reconnect with what matters most, make choices that align with your values, and move through life with more ease and self-trust.
If something in this approach resonates, we can begin with a free 45-minute Connection Call on Zoom. It’s a quiet space to talk through where you are and what you’re hoping for, so we can both feel confident that this is the right next step.
