You are a thoughtful, insightful, and deeply caring person. You can understand your patterns, but still feel disconnected from your true self. Years of buried childhood trauma, cultural expectations, people-pleasing, and high achievement conditioned you to adapt, perform, and shrink to belong. You tend to feel lonely even in relationships, question whether your feelings are valid, or miss the person you used to be. Therapy becomes a space to feel safe enough to validate your authentic voice, trust your inner wisdom, and build a life deeply rooted in who you truly are, not what others expect of you.

Do you spend so much time showing up for everyone else that you’ve lost track of what you actually need? Maybe you’re the one who "keeps the peace", never wants to rock the boat, and says yes when you mean no — now you’re exhausted. Whether you’re a mom who’s lost herself in caregiving, or simply someone who’s always been the strong one for everyone around you, you might look fine on the outside while running on empty inside.

I believe every patient is different and I work hard to establish individualized plans of care. I provide a confidential, judgment-free environment. I support clients in enhancing their awareness of life patterns and stuck points that have prevented desired growth. When working with a couple, my approach is to assist in helping to identify patterns that couples are typically not conscious of and are generally unproductive in a relationship. My view is that regardless of the content, both individuals are contributing towards how things presently are. If both are motivated towards improving the relationship, success is guaranteed.

Are you caring for an aging parent while trying to manage your own life? Are you or a loved one struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or life changes that come with aging? I specialize in working with older adults and caregivers who feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or emotionally stretched thin. Aging brings transitions—health changes, loss of independence, shifting family roles—and it can feel isolating. Therapy offers a safe, supportive space to process these changes and regain a sense of stability and hope.

Career Counseling Therapists
How do I know if I need career counseling?
Determining whether a career counselor is needed involves assessing one's current career and identifying what changes can be made to improve one's overall quality of life. In particular, feelings of loss of motivation, fatigue, anxiety, depression, procrastination, or ongoing levels of high stress can all be indicative of a need for career-related counseling. In addition, individuals changing jobs may want the decision-making support or self-reflection opportunities provided by a career counselor.

Who can benefit from career counseling?
Anyone can benefit from the self-reflection, skill development, and stress management techniques that career counseling can provide. However, individuals who are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out with their current job and individuals considering a major career change may particularly benefit from career counseling to improve their wellbeing. Additionally, individuals who are facing issues in their current job, such as coworker relationship challenges or not meeting performance goals, may benefit from the perspective that a career counselor can provide. College-age or young professionals may also uniquely benefit from career counseling as they make key decisions surrounding education and job training that will impact their career trajectory.

How long does career counseling typically last?
The length of career counseling can vary greatly depending on the needs of the individual and what type of support they are seeking. Career coaching or advising services—which serve clients in a specific, goal-oriented capacity—often last for a shorter duration and are sometimes only a single session or a few sessions in length. In contrast, career counseling as part of a more integrative therapeutic relationship with a counselor may last longer, particularly if the issues faced by the client are longstanding and/or more complex in nature; in such cases, individuals may expect therapy to last multiple months or longer.

How to prepare for career counseling?
Clients can prepare for career counseling sessions by outlining the specific topics they would like to address with the counselor, such as current job challenges or hopes for the future of their career. Compiling one's thoughts on such topics often requires reflection on one's career and future goals, which in itself can be beneficial for session preparation. Clients may also want to put together a list of questions they would like to ask the counselor, particularly if the career counselor they are seeing has particular expertise in a given career area. Conducting research into potential future jobs, training opportunities, or support resources in one's area may also help clients prepare for career counseling by providing them with a background of what resources are available in their area.
