About My Clients

My clients struggle like you do. Despite being hilarious, insightful and incredibly intelligent, life is hard. When they first come in, they’re not sure where to begin. They have felt stuck in their lives for so many months that they are starting to lose hope that anything can change. They are used to taking care of everyone around them (kids, partner, friends) and kicking butt professionally, but they find themselves irritable, sensitive, and unable to hold it together.

My Background and Approach

Before becoming a therapist, I was an accountant for 15 years. I still hold a CPA license, in fact. This might seem like a big career change (it is!) but I still get to use that analytical part of my brain in my work with counseling clients. I love working with women-identified clients who are high-achieving, sarcastic, and maybe a little bit stubborn. My clients tend to be great at loving others around them and not-so-great at loving themselves. I know from my own path to wellness that it can be hard to accept help when your problems “aren’t that bad.”

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

It energizes me when I see women realize that seeking greater health and wholeness actually makes life better not just for them but for the people around them that they care so deeply about; their partners, their kids, and their friends benefit as well.
