Do you work hard to appear confident, professional, and together on the outside, while feeling anything but inside? Perhaps you are frequently anxious or find that problems like ADHD, learning differences or relationship struggles are holding you back. Many talented professionals see the life they want but can’t seem to find their way. If you’re experiencing setbacks and frustrations, you don’t have to go it alone. Sometimes you need an outside person who can help you clear the obstacles within yourself so that you can fulfill your potential.

I encourage clients to approach therapy with an open and curious mind. For my part, you can expect compassion, collaboration and an unwavering authenticity in each session - with an occasional dose of humor.
