Not Accepting New Client When life gets busy, it is easy to wake up and find yourself not where you expected to be. I help people reconnect with themselves and in their relationships- whether this is healing from an affair, finding the spark again, to figuring out what makes you feel happy and alive. I believe that we can heal from hurt and live a life we love, but we must reconnect with ourselves and others in order to find peace. I also enjoy working with woman who are pregnant or postpartum, as this can be an overwhelming, yet exciting time in life.

“Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do” Brene Brown. My clients are those who are ready and willing to take ownership of their story in a way that feels authentic and empowering. This story ownership often involves self identity work, discovering or reclaiming values, setting boundaries/interpersonal work, learning how to both accept emotions and take action, self compassion, and learning to "come home" to yourself. Common issues I support are anxiety, depression, relationships, pregnancy and postpartum, life transitions, ADHD, perfectionism, and family of origin issues.

Are you struggling to keep it together after an infertility diagnosis or having a tough transition to parenthood? Infertility treatment is isolating - you probably don't know who to talk to, how much to share with your friends/family, and how to plan for the future when you don't know where your treatment will lead you. If you are a new or expecting parent, you are probably also really going through it - the sleep deprivation, the ever-changing needs of your baby, and the pressure to be "the perfect family." I will help you get through this and show up in your life the way you want

Our lives are complicated. They’re full of complicated relationships, conflicts over what we want, struggles in how we see ourselves and others, and questions about satisfaction and meaning in life.

I work with a wide variety of people and particularly enjoy working with those who are curious about themselves and interested in working collaboratively towards self-understanding.
