As a trauma-informed therapist who has transformed my own pain into purpose, I guide others to heal trauma through the powerful connection between mind, body, and spirit—helping them reclaim their inner peace, strength, and authenticity.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and certified personal trainer. I specialize in helping women who feel disconnected from themselves after years of emotional pain, trauma, or body shame. Many of my clients come to me seeking freedom from overthinking, people-pleasing, and patterns of self-abandonment. Together, we explore the wounds beneath these patterns so they can rediscover confidence, emotional safety, and connection with their true selves.
I hold a master’s in social work from Wayne State University. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with holistic practices that honor the mind-body connection. Through eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, somatic awareness, mindfulness, movement, and breathwork, I help clients process emotions, build self-trust, and support nervous system regulation.
You deserve to feel grounded, whole, and at peace within yourself. Healing isn’t about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you’ve always been beneath the pain. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward reconnection and growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

The length of workaholism therapy depends on the individual’s needs as well as the extent and severity of their workaholism and the problems that might stem from it. That said, people can make meaningful progress in the first weeks to months of therapy.
By Abe Clabby, LPC
In the world of mental health, some things only do harm – substance abuse, infidelity, social anxiety and the like. They’re the mind’s attempt to fix one problem, but instead it creates another, and leaves the first problem unsolved or worse. Workaholism is more complicated than that.
Hard work isn’t just respectable – it often genuinely gets things done. It can pay the bills, help people at home, or move you up in the world.
So when being productive becomes an obsession, it’s a hard one to resist. But that’s where too much work comes with these risks.
But most of all, overworking puts you at risk for Burnout. Burnout is when your work makes you worse and unhappy with:
Many people become single-handedly responsible for themselves and everyone around them, and avoid accepting help in return. They may even choose people who will ask for help but not give it. They may even turn down help often enough that people learn not to offer it, or may not say enough about themselves for people to even guess what their needs are.
Some kinds of work seem to create especially high rates of Burnout. The Department of Health & Human Services predicts these six problems cause it:
But for all the problems that Burnout can cause, what helps solve it? One or more of these 10 could help you:
