Welcome! I specialize in working with adult (18+) clients of all genders who wish to better manage stress/anxiety/burnout, make positive changes in their routine, improve their self-esteem, or those who are navigating changes in their life.
I provide a compassionate, understanding, and supportive space for clients to express their concerns. Together we will create achievable goals, and work together to build a clear and unique strategy to achieving these goals. My focus is to be curious about your story, while also providing relevant strategies and perspectives to help you move forward in a more productive manner.
A growing area of my practice is working with women ages 35+ who may be experiencing changes in their mood or mental health related to changes in fluctuating hormones during perimenopause and menopause. These may include new or worsening symptoms of anxiety, depression, low mood, emotional mood swings, low motivation, low energy, 'brain fog', sleep, etc.
Therapy has also been shown to help reduce the impact of vasomotor symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes, night sweats, etc. I will help you make sense of what you are experiencing, and we will create a plan to support you through this journey. I am a member of The Menopause Society, and am certified as a Menopause Mental Health Provider with BRIA.
