Not accepting new clients currently. My clients tend to be the "go-getters" that are acknowledged for their ambition. Sometimes this mentality can feel exhausting, all consuming and have an underlying yearning for balance. Through mindset shifts, coaching on sustainable tools, and intentional habits, we’ll break the cycle of overwork and self-doubt, so you can thrive in both your personal and professional/academic life. I work with individuals facing life transitions, parenting or relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, OCD, and executive functioning difficulties.
I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker. I specialize in working with folks that are struggling with life changes and transitions, often times accompanied with anxiety, depression, or a general sense of overwhelm. I also work with those looking to soften their perfectionist tendencies and work towards a more mindful attitude of "progress not perfection".
I know how difficult and big of a decision it can be to begin with a new therapist. Please do not hesitate to reach out for a 15 minute consultation to ensure we're a good fit. Your courage in taking this first step is commendable and I'm here to facilitate your journey.
