Embracing your humanity isn't easy, but you don't have to face it alone. Many of my clients experience anxiety, perfectionism, burnout and professional challenges, navigating life transitions, stress from being sandwiched between parenting children and care for older parents, challenges with aging or medical conditions, and coping with intergenerational trauma. If you haven't quite figured out "Work-Life balance" (or juggling multiple stressors) you are not alone! Let's slow down, learn to find your inner wisdom, and live with intention to bring more of what you want... purpose, connection, peace, vitality, joy... to your life.
I balance being with you and helping you shift into more helpful behavior patterns. I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, tapping into mindfulness and behavior change strategies. I also have extensive experience using exposure-based therapies to help you approach things that you fear— but always for the purpose of helping you live more fully and freely.
I am honored to really listen and learn from each person's unique set of life experiences and current struggles. I look forward to supporting you on your journey to live more in the present, more fully, and with more purpose. I offer a brief telephone consultation for free to answer questions and to discuss fit. I provide individual psychotherapy only.
