Specialties

You’re looking for a warm, compassionate, and knowledgeable therapist that can support you through the ups and downs, and all that’s in between. Things may feel confusing, overwhelming, and frustrating, as you are learning what works best for you, but it’s critical to feel heard and accepted. I want to help you create healthy routines and problem solve how you can still live a life that is fulfilling where you are not defined by your diagnosis.

Individual and family sessions offered
You’re carrying a heavy load supporting your loved one navigating a crisis, hospitalization, or a serious mental illness. You’ve been so focused on caring and advocating for them that you have not been able to care for yourself or maintain healthy boundaries on how much bandwidth you have. It feels lonely and helpless at times when there are so many barriers to getting adequate care for your loved one. I can help you and your family lift the weight and feel supported and prioritized again.

You’re overworked, underpaid, unsupported, and unappreciated in your emotionally draining workplace, perhaps in a helping profession or high-performance role. You feel stuck and are having trouble achieving good work-life balance. Let’s change that! I can help you sort through how you want to move forward and work towards finding happiness and balance again.
