It is important to pursue Wellness, mind, body and soul in order to subdue stress, reduce the risk of dis-ease, and to maintain positive interactions and relationships.
A guiding theme for my work is meeting individuals where they are in life in order to understand the dynamics of their current situation or circumstance. Many of the people that I work with have been involved in the child welfare and or court systems, have experienced tragedy, trauma and experiencing grief, anxiety, or struggling with life stressors. I strive to support clients as they develop creative solutions and tools to improve their quality of life. I use a strengths-based and solution focused approach in working with clients, to identify their strengths, who they are and strategies they can use to be their best self.

It's not always easy to seek support, and you've already taken a courageous step by considering therapy. You might be feeling overwhelmed with responsibilities, trapped by discouraging thoughts, or exhausted both mentally and emotionally. You might feel as though the important relationships in your life are just not working, that things you used to enjoy are falling flat. Many of my clients have struggled with low self-esteem, family conflict, trauma, and stress. I believe that entering therapy to improve emotional wellbeing and strengthen relationships can pave the way to a healthy, fulfilling life.

You may feel lost, but you are not alone. We all experience suffering as a part of the human condition, yet sometimes our symptoms of stress, despair, worry, or self-criticism stand in the way of living the life that we want. If you find yourself troubled by a particular life problem or psychological condition, or generally lacking a sense of vitality and purpose, working with a clinician can help you reconnect with yourself and your strengths. Therapy often helps us to make useful connections between our actions, our thinking, our emotional reality, and patterns in relationships that we have developed over years.

I love helping high performers with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, chronic somatic stress/anxiety, and depression.
Everything may seem fine on the surface—your accomplishments suggest you’re thriving, and others see no need for concern. Yet you know something is not right. Maybe this shows up as difficulty sleeping, chronic self doubt, racing thoughts, or constant preoccupation with what’s next. Maybe you feel disconnected from your intuition, or when you have a few moments of stillness, you are suffused with a sense of feeling lost or alone. I love working with high achievers like you who strive for the ideal, but feel lost. I can help you maintain your dedication while taking better care of yourself.

Humans have innate intuition and wisdom, but we’ve been taught to bury our intuition to maintain oppressive social structures like capitalism. I believe reconnecting to your intuition is your birthright. You don’t need to look elsewhere for solutions or a “fix”, you only need to look within. I specialize in helping high-achieving women who struggle with chronic stress and overwhelm, self-sabotage, and hopelessness who’ve checked all the boxes but still aren’t happy.
