Through a respectful process of listening and questions, I work with you to help clarify your goals and values. I will help you find new perspectives and restore a healthy narrative that does not include feelings of blame or shame. We will work together to develop better skills at managing difficult emotions, such as sadness, disappointment, pain, and anger. We will learn to nurture feelings that are healthy and not those that can get us stuck. I hope to work with you to discover a sense of self-compassion and flexibility.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, burned out, anxious, depressed, irritable or fatigued, these are key indicators that what was working before, isn’t working anymore. When you can no longer fix it on your own, or you are struggling to get by, you need new tools, and I will help you create them. I specialize in working with professionals in high stress careers, teen and pre-teen girls, and those experiencing grief and loss. I tailor each of my client's treatment specifically to who you are, choosing therapeutic modalities and strategies that align with your unique personality and way of thinking.
