Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stressed despite being accomplished in other areas of life? Maybe you struggle with feeling pressured to be perfect or be who others think you should be. You’re not alone. I understand that life is nuanced and can adversely impact mental health. I understand that people have complex inner dialogs and don’t always feel that there is a safe place to be both accomplished and emotionally vulnerable.

My work with women and parents is based on one simple belief: we all are capable of finding joy and satisfaction. And the right therapy can help. Overwhelming stressors, unhealthy relationships and patterns of self-sabotaging behaviors frequently get people off track. I work with clients to select the right approach to help them achieve their goals. As a therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, I offer psychotherapy with an emphasis on mindfulness. I am also certified in EMDR.
