Introduction

I love working with adults who are working through a big life transition, regardless of whether they are 20 or 70. This especially applies to people just getting started in their careers, changing careers, and adult students that are returning to school. Trying to balance work, parenting, and school while slogging your way through a doctoral thesis or trying to find the best rebranding strategy feels impossible at times. Many people mask their anxiety and depression, sacrificing their joy and creativity to survive. I love helping people to better understand what makes them tick or reaffirm lost creativity that comes with the trauma of an unbalanced life. I love to use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and narrative to reframe stories as well as validate the journey a client has taken before meeting me. Helping you understand your story is something that live for. I feel a great deal of priveledge in knowing you and your story because I feel sharing our authentic selves with one another is one of life’s great gifts. I can’t wait get started as your process partner and help you through your grieving, growing, and generation of a new reality. I am currently offering Telehealth sessions through Sondermind that are covered by insurance and can offer private pay Telehealth sessions through Simple Practice. I have availability Monday-Friday. Please contact me for Saturday or evening availability and any questions you may have.
