Great to meet you!

With a decade as a licensed counselor and nearly 20 years of prior corporate experience, I bring a unique perspective on today's personal and professional stressors.

I specialize in helping high-functioning adults who are exhausted from constantly trying to optimize themselves. Therapy with me is less about becoming a better-performing human and more about reconnecting with yourself, your values, and the life you actually want to experience.

My approach to therapy

Direct. Collaborative. Honest. I’m not here to fix you—because you’re not broken. I help you get clear on what’s not working and what needs to shift. We’ll cut through the noise, ditch the therapy jargon, and focus on the stuff that actually helps you move forward. I use an integrative style of therapy combining different techniques based on what you need, want and what resonates with you.

What you can expect from me

Clarity, relief, and real tools you can actually use. You’ll leave sessions feeling like you’ve done something—not just talked in circles. Whether it’s a mindset shift, a strategy, or just finally saying the thing out loud—you’ll walk away feeling a little more like yourself again. You have to be ready to do the work because what matters is not what happens inside of therapy, but what you do with it after.
