Hi, I’m Isabella — marriage and family therapist and former anxious high achiever.
I help people heal from trauma, anxiety, and depression to fully inhabit and deeply enjoy the big life they know they’re here to live.
I know firsthand how trauma, family dysfunction, and nervous system dysregulation can stand in the way of the life you feel called to create. Despite having the ambition and drive to achieve mine, I found myself paralyzed by anxiety, depression, and self-doubt.
My own healing journey led me toward a deeper sense of purpose, joy, and spiritual connection through therapy, nervous system work, daily practice, and a whole lot of trust in myself. It took time (and it’s still a practice!), but change is possible. And I want that journey for you, too.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Big dreams, high expectations, and a mind that never slows down.
Even when you achieve something you've worked so hard for, it's difficult to slow down and actually enjoy it.
You're always chasing what's next
Racing thoughts, constant worry, and physical symptoms of anxiety have become part of your everyday life.
Rest doesn't come easily
When you're not achieving, producing, or making progress, you struggle to feel good about yourself.
Your worth feels tied to your success
You find yourself withdrawing, feeling disconnected, or reacting in ways you don't fully understand.
You struggle to feel connected
Maybe it's old family patterns, past experiences, or fears you can't quite put your finger on.
You know something is holding you back
You're ready for something to change
You don't just want to get through the day or keep your anxiety in check. You want to genuinely enjoy your life.
my approach
Lovingly direct.
Deeply transformative.
Grounded in you.
I'll hold you in your highest possibility until you're ready to do that on your own. We'll go deep, dark (and sometimes scary), process what's been keeping you stuck, and find our way back into the light. This is a space to heal from what happened to you without letting it define what's possible for you.
Our work blends nervous system regulation, neuroscience-based tools, trauma processing, and exploring the patterns and protective parts that shape how you move through the world. We'll practice new ways of relating to yourself and others, stretch outside your comfort zone, and turn all that inner work into real change in your everyday life.
