I work with clients who may be struggling with depression or trauma related to their relationships or family. In our first sessions we will identify the issues you need to resolve and create a plan together to address these issues in a way that makes you feel relieved because you will start to see how you can move forward without so much weight of these symptoms. Most of my clients report feeling lighter within 2or 3 sessions. I work with all types of relationship issues including cheating and infidelity as well as parent-child and sibling relationships.

I have over 15 years of experience working with those who have found success as measured by traditional standards, but are struggling to get beyond the next hurdle, whether at work or in their personal lives. Navigating these complexities can often feel overwhelming, especially when balancing personal aspirations with external expectations. Psychotherapy provides a unique space where you can confront and understand these feelings, and address what is holding you back.

Feeling overwhelmed? Corporate culture and your perfectionist inner critic can wear you down. As a former tech worker turned therapist,I get it. Everyone sees you as super successful, but you feel like you're barely keeping up, constantly falling short of your own high standards. The endless to-do list keeps you up at night, leaving you exhausted by your own anxious thoughts. Yet you fear these traits are why you've been successful. It feels like you must choose between success and self-compassion.

I help high achieving, highly anxious individuals that are struggling with burnout, work and academic stress, and perfectionism. This may be due to the impact of developmental trauma, childhood overt or covert bullying, or family upbringing. If you are exhausted from having it all together constantly and feel like you are losing touch with your authentic self, therapy is a great place to start in order to shift away from patterns that are no longer working for you. I can guide you as you challenge yourself and grow in ways you thought were not possible and make it less scary by not having to do it alone.

Life and its challenges can get pretty overwhelming! I strive to work collaboratively with people to create positive changes in a caring and non-pathologizing environment for those who are struggling with a variety of problems. My guiding approach to effective therapy focuses on seeing the problem as separate from the person. I believe that people are the experts of their lives. I choose to sit in a place of curiosity to help you uncover already present strengths or develop new approaches to life's challenges.

We all can feel overwhelmed & fear based when dealing with life's transitions, obstacles & everyday hiccups. This can wreak havoc on our interpersonal relationships, self-worth, and lovability at times when we go into giver and taker roles, unconsciously. Life is amplified when we harness our authentic values, trust our intuition to say no, & effectively communicate in a way that allows us to connect deeply to self & others. I love working with couples who are ready to heal their inner children together & align with their higher purpose to create something optimal together.
