Are you a high-achieving professional or creative struggling with anxiety? I specialize in helping professionals identify effective coping strategies for anxiety and open more space in your life for the things that matter to you. My approach is layered - we may explore situations and relationships that contribute to your anxiety, as well as identify more concrete actions you can do to relieve anxious symptoms and repetitive thoughts. I also work with creatives on navigating life's practical demands while staying true to your artistic path. I also offer couples counseling to improve communication to feel more like a team again.
I am a fully licensed therapist with over 20 years experience, with a masters in counseling from Northwestern University. I am also a mom and a musician. I love helping busy professionals and artists improve their mental wellness. It is a true privilege to be part of your life, and would love to support you on your journey.
Reaching out to a therapist can feel overwhelming! I offer free consultations so we can chat, answer any questions, and see if we're a good fit. Clients describe my style as warm, kind, and thoughtful. My practice is virtual to accommodate the demanding schedules of busy professionals and artists. Message me to schedule a consult or appointment.
