Adult life is hard. Balancing work and home responsibilities, communicating effectively with others, and managing the push and pull between relationships and personal goals can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed. We will work together to improve relationships at home and at work, or throughout college, as you navigate steep and significant social changes, incorporating your early life experiences to gain insight into who you are and to shape your personal values to become the person you want to be.
I relate easily to people from a wide range of backgrounds and in different phases of life. Whether it’s your career, family, relationships, decision-making processes, friends . . . or just your day that has you stuck or down, I will work with you to soften your journey. Together we will build your self-esteem and confidence to enhance your happiness.
My personal odyssey to becoming a therapist took me through careers in law, academia, non-profits, government, and hospital work. I’ve been married and divorced. I lost a parent in my 20s. I’ve moved all around the country for my different careers. We all experience unanticipated challenges. Together, we will work on your odyssey toward success.
