But, I believe that everyone has the ability to access their most fulfilling and happy life. Together, we can identify what's going wrong and where we can make changes to improve your happiness, relationships, and overall well-being.

Are you stuck on autopilot, going through the motions, struggling with burnout and finding ways to get your needs met, while focusing on big life transitions and caring for everyone else? I have a passion for helping caregivers and “people pleasers” whose "spirit animal" might be the chameleon. That is, they blend in with what others need but may feel increasing resentment, lack of direction, and burnout as a result. Imagine what it would feel like to prioritize yourself again. You deserve to honor your needs while engaging in meaningful, balanced relationships and living a more fulfilling life in line with your own values.

Seeking help takes courage and it is the first step to achieving the life you truly deserve. Let me assist you in removing the barriers that are preventing you from being successful. I strive to offer my clients a safe, judgment free space to talk about difficult issues. Generally, I use an eclectic mix of cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, solutions-focused and strengths-based therapies to treat anxiety and mood issues that have emerged from stressful life situations.
