You’ve worked hard and invested a lot to get where you are, but something’s missing. From the outside it looks like you've got it all together, but on the inside you're anxious, exhausted, and overwhelmed. You worry that you've lost your drive. The goals you once thought mattered no longer motivate you. If you’re stressed out, burned out, or unhappy with the life you’re in, I’m here to help. I’m passionate about helping you tap into your wisdom and rediscover your deepest authenticity and joy.
I specialize in helping women+ professionals who struggle with anxiety or depression, or who may be challenged by stress/burnout, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or work and career concerns. With compassion, deep listening, and humor, I offer opportunities to discover what you truly want and need, and work with you to acquire the tools to make it happen.
If you’re ready to start living your life with more balance, peace, and purpose, reach out now to schedule a free 15-minute telephone consultation. I offer online sessions for women+ who are located anywhere in Illinois or Wisconsin.

As your therapist I'll focus on your strengths. I'll help you see and appreciate what you're already doing well and gently nudge you towards the things that you've been avoiding and the areas where you indicate that you want to grow.
