About My Clients

On the outside, you have it all and are doing it all. To everyone else, you’re motivated, high-achieving, and composed, but the stress of continuing to pursue the next achievement or opportunity has left you feeling drained and unfulfilled. You’re great at meeting others’ needs, but your own seem to frequently fall by the wayside. Trying to juggle all of your identities – professional, partner, parent, caregiver – leaves you feeling like you’re racing from task to task, without feeling any joy o

My Background and Approach

In my 10+ years of clinical experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with young adults and adults in various life stages lean to explore their emotional identities, navigate life (and role) transitions, develop healthy coping skills, and define boundaries to facilitate well-being and discover sources of joy in every area of their lives. I use a relationally-driven, strengths-focused lens with strong social justice roots to help clients to uncover their hidden “superpowers” – resources, skills, sources of resilience – and fine-tune these superpowers to meet the challenges of their busy lives. In this work, I incorporate techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, mindfulness, and a little bit of humor!

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

You are the expert in the story of your lived experiences. In our clinical work, you’ll have an unconditionally accepting partner in me on this journey toward transformative growth. Together, we can create a life for you that you enjoy living on the inside as much as you portray you do on the outside.
