While I work with all sorts of clients, I have carved out a niche working with people who are going through life transitions. These transitions might look like going through a divorce or major career change. As a therapist, I rely on my background in systems theory to help look at different areas of your life, and help understand how they all have lead you to where you are today. I use a strengths based approach to help you rebuild yourself into the person you want to be, and to avoid getting stuck in the problems of the past. A good client fit for me is someone who wants change, even if they are not sure how to do that yet.

In session I tend to incorporate mindfulness, guided meditation, and imagery exercises to help clients challenge early woundings and harness their creative potential.

I am passionate about helping individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, and obsessional thinking that I believe often results from highly sensitive, creative individuals lacking an outlet for expressing and/or understanding themselves.

I help Millennial and Gen Z women who struggle with saying no, asking for help, finding time for themselves, and feel guilty or selfish when they consider doing something for them. They often think ‘if I don’t do it, who will?’
My clients first come in feeling like you. Despite being intelligent, supportive, hardworking, and creative, they sometimes feel weighed down with responsibility. They find themselves overworked, tired, underappreciated, and frustrated. It's hard being everyone’s go to person while walking on eggshells to please them and avoid the discomfort of upsetting or disappointing others. Let's grow together!
