You’re in the “prime years of your life,” but instead of feeling fulfilled, you’re overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, or a deep sense of disconnection. You work hard to show up as the most polished version of yourself—in your career, relationships, or motherhood—but inside, you’re exhausted. It may feel like you’re hanging on by a thread, burdened by the pressure to keep it all together, and the persistent voice telling you you’re not enough.
For women in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, life is full of transitions: marriage, career changes, motherhood, and evolving identity. These seasons often resurface old wounds, amplify self-doubt, and leave you wondering who you really are beneath the pressure to perform. Social media and cultural expectations only deepen the cycle of comparison, perfectionism, and silent shame that so many high-achieving women carry.
I understand. My work focuses on helping women like you navigate these decades with clarity, confidence, and self-compassion, so you can feel like yourself again and experience the fulfillment you deserve.
I help high-achieving women move through anxiety, perfectionism, and the complexities of motherhood by reconnecting them with their authentic selves. Together, we’ll explore your story, heal past wounds, and replace false beliefs with grounded truths. My goal is to support you in cultivating self-worth, emotional resilience, and meaningful connection, within yourself and in your relationships.
“Owning our story and loving ourselves through that process is the bravest thing we’ll ever do. ”
As a Primal Question Certified therapist, I use this framework to help you uncover the core emotional need that shapes how you view yourself and the world. When this question goes unanswered, it can fuel people-pleasing, control, anxiety, and a constant striving to feel secure, loved, or enough. But when you learn to answer it in healthy ways, you begin to live with more freedom, self-trust, and peace.
My clients are often self-described perfectionists who feel the weight of trying to “do it all” while battling inner stress, burnout, or a sense of inadequacy. In therapy, we create space for honest reflection and growth so you no longer have to carry that weight alone.
I earned my Bachelor’s in Human Relations from The University of Oklahoma and completed my Master’s in Counseling & Development at Texas Woman’s University, specializing in Clinical Mental Health. In 2018, I founded Known Counseling with one guiding vision: to create a space where people feel safe to explore their stories and experience the healing that comes from being deeply known by another.
The name, Known, grew out of my own experience in therapy, where I more deeply encountered the healing that comes from naming my story and being met with compassion. I believe change occurs at the intersection of self-understanding and authentic connection. That is what I hope to offer every person who walks through our doors: the opportunity to know themselves more fully and to feel truly known by someone who sees them with empathy and care.
As a counselor who is a Christian, I’m able to integrate faith into the counseling process for those who desire it. At the same time, I welcome clients from all backgrounds and belief systems. Whether or not faith is part of your journey, you’ll find a safe, respectful space where your unique story and beliefs are honored.
You don’t have to keep carrying the weight alone. If you’re feeling stuck in shame, striving, or self-doubt, there is another way forward. My hope is that through understanding your story, you’ll find more peace, clarity, and authenticity. Come as you are and we’ll walk this journey together.
