You’re caring for everyone—but who’s taking care of you? If you’re juggling growing children and aging parents while trying to remember who you are, I’m here to help. I specialize in "Sandwich Generation" and Gen X struggles, especially when relationships are complicated, or when you're facing the profound grief of a pet's illness or loss. Whether you've tried therapy before and felt "stuck," or you're transitioning to a new chapter, we’ll uncover why your current coping skills aren't working anymore. Let’s move past just surviving. Please visit my website and reach out to start your path forward.
Together, we’ll understand the patterns shaping your life. I provide space to untangle complicated family dynamics, hidden shame, and the heavy weight of caregiving. My approach is collaborative and interpretive; we’ll explore experiences to make sense of struggles that feel overwhelming, as you move toward a more authentic sense of self.
Deciding to begin therapy—or return to it—is a significant step, especially when you are already stretched thin by the needs of others. I invite you to reach out so we can discuss beginning this work together. Finding the right fit is a process that takes time and shared space; I look forward to starting that conversation with you.
