About My Clients
My clients are high-functioning women who have spent most of their lives managing, anticipating, and holding it together for everyone else. They're often outwardly successful but privately exhausted. Something has shifted — a loss, a transition, a sense that the life they've been living doesn't quite fit anymore. They know something needs to change. They're ready to stop just coping and start actually living.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in life transitions, aging, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the complicated relationship many women have with their bodies and themselves. These things rarely travel alone — I work at the intersection of all of them. My approach is relational and whole-person. I take seriously both the stories you tell yourself and the ways they live in your nervous system. I draw on narrative therapy, cognitive approaches, mindfulness, and somatic awareness, and I incorporate EFT (tapping) as a targeted tool for releasing what talk alone doesn't always reach. I also bring training as a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, equipped to work with the particular harm that diet culture and body shame do to women's sense of self. I work collaboratively, I take you seriously, and I won't pathologize the ways you've learned to cope. But I will help you figure out what is no longer serving you — so you can make room for what you actually want.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm a printmaker, published author, and lifelong maker — someone who has always understood that creativity and meaning-making are not luxuries but necessities, especially in the second half of life. My art practice informs my clinical work in ways that are hard to separate: I think in images, I work with what's held and unspoken, and I believe in the intelligence of the body. I have an extensive background in mindfulness and maintain my own daily mindfulness and somatic practices. I bring that orientation to my life as well as my work. I'm drawn to frameworks that tend rather than fix — approaches that start from the premise that the body is communicating, not malfunctioning. I'm also personally acquainted with the territory my clients navigate: transitions, reinvention, the question of what comes next. I don't work from a deficit model. I work from the conviction that the second half of life, navigated well, can be the most alive.
