Are you overwhelmed by stress or anxiety? Are you navigating questions related to your identity, or struggling with interpersonal conflict, communication, and relationship-building? Would you like to better understand and manage extreme emotions that are interfering in your day-to-day life? These challenges can make us feel stuck, and can be obstacles to achieving our goals and building a life (or relationship) that we find meaningful and fulfilling. We can work together to identify and overcome those obstacles, get 'unstuck,' and set you on a clear path to achieving your life and relationship goals.
I draw on evidence-based approaches in working with clients from a range of diverse cultural backgrounds, and have a particular passion for supporting LGBTQ+ clients. I also rely on 15+ years of career experience in consulting & investing to effectively partner with students & professionals struggling in high-pressure academic & work environments.
I bring healthy doses of curiosity, empathy, and candor to my work with individuals and couples. I'm here to collaborate with and support you in understanding and overcoming whichever challenges are preventing you from living the life, and building the relationship, that you desire and deserve.
