Every day, I talk to women whose lives are full but not fulfilling. They’ve reached their goals but now feel stagnant. They have social interactions that remain at the surface level so they often feel alone and unsupported. They spend their energy taking care of other people but they have lost connection with themselves. Imagine what would it be like to surround yourself with a group of women who get it, who listen to you, who want to support you and celebrate you— Sounds awesome, right?

I believe that psychotherapy and coaching are gifts you give yourself. For the past 25 years, I have helped countless competent, well-educated people whose lives, while "good on paper," are unsatisfying. They feel empty despite successes and have difficulties maintaining healthy relationships with loved ones. My clients feel stuck in their lives and want to make productive changes. I help them examine the ways they repeat the patterns which only lead us to disappointment. I can help you identify these roadblocks to happiness and guide you to create the life you want and deserve.

For many students with ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Order) or ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) it can be an overwhelming process.
