Great to meet you!

Do you find yourself going through the motions yet feeling completely checked out? On the outside do you act as if you know all the answers, but on the inside feel like chaos is brewing? This is called a 'functional freeze mode' or burnout described as excessive worry and a lack of desire to do things you once enjoyed. I specialize in working with motivated adults who tend to shut down or look for “the quick fix” when facing the stressors of life.

My approach to therapy

My approach is client-driven, inclusive, affirming and goes beyond traditional talk therapy to help clients experience authenticity and change. I use a focused strength-based holistic approach to help people who are struggling with burnout and depression learn tools to manage worry, increase motivation, and reduce isolation to feel more connected to the things that matter.

What you can expect from me

My clients describe me as warm, empowering and genuinely caring. Clients often feel working with me "feels different" as I know how to build trust that breaks down their walls. Together we will explore and build skills for effective relief. I wholeheartedly believe in the transformative ability of therapy and I can't wait to show you how it works. Contact me today!
