Are you feeling lost, stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next? I'm a Cognitive Psychologist and Life Coach with a Ph.D. from Princeton who has helped thousands of clients harness their hidden gifts and creative potential and flourish in meaningful lives and careers. I create a safe environment for you to explore your feelings, challenge limiting beliefs, discover your unique superpowers, and take practical steps to create a life that's true to you. Together, we can make a plan to overcome work and life challenges, build hope and resilience in today's traumatic world, and discover a path that brings you joy and success.
I use Jungian techniques to help clients who struggle with stress, anxiety, or depression find their hidden gifts and own their authentic power. During our sessions, we will find ways to manage your negative thoughts and emotions, uncover barriers to your progress, identify your core strengths, and flourish as the person you were born to be.
If you're unsure of what to do next with your life, take heart! Feeling lost allows you to find your strengths and purpose, which decreases anxiety and depression and increases your well-being. I've helped many clients find their right careers and lead empowered vital lives. I'd be honored to work with you, too. Please feel free to reach out to learn more.
