Are you a people-pleaser, perfectionist, or high-achiever? Do you have a history of workplace, relationship, or family conflicts? Do you suffer from burnout, anxiety, or compassion fatigue? Over a decade of professional experience in human resources and management gives me a unique edge to understand the 9-to-5 experience and real-world struggles that you may be facing. Individuals and couples who seek my services have moved from feeling "stuck" to feeling "relief", "lighter", "hopeful", and more "connected" with themselves, their relationships, and their community.
A typical therapy session with me includes a blend of focusing on immediate strategies for short-term relief and diving deep into past experiences that have influenced your life for long-term clarity. I may prompt you to notice patterns or encourage you to sit with a difficult feeling. For couples, I may challenge you to see your partner in a new light.
My work is informed first and foremost by my clients and second by extensive training in areas such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and the Gottman Method for Couples Therapy. These styles are structured, creative, and informed by research. I tend to be a great fit with older teens, adults, and couples.
