Are you a high-performing female, who is feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or traumatized? Would you like to cut back on drinking or other maladaptive impulses? Allow me to help you improve your mental health using your strengths to adjust to stressors instead of engaging in negative behaviors. With my encouragement, you will learn to overcome or manage the issues you are untangling and move forward - where you deserve to be. Additionally, I have specializations in divorce mediation, grief, medication-assisted alcohol abatement, and the psychological aftermath of psychedelic experiences.
I will guide you through healthier choices and safely lead you to discover and develop into your best self, supporting you with specific strategies like: thought/behavior adjustments, EMDR, boundary-setting, relationship building, structural organization, balancing, pattern-breaking, desensitization, effective coping skills, self-care, and humor.
I offer therapy exclusively to 10 clients per week, to ensure that each client gets the best care possible. I do not accept insurance (or respond to inquiries from insurance companies). For your safety, sessions are currently online only. Please call me to see if I am the best fit for your optimal wellness.
