As an adult there comes a time when emotions can defy logic and we exceed our ability to reason through and remedy how we are feeling on our own. Similarly, there are times when even the most supportive parent can reach an impasse and need additional support for their child; especially when children are engaging in difficult, overwhelming and even triggering behaviors.

I work with women, young professionals, and high-achievers navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, childhood trauma, and the "quarter-life crisis".
