Great to meet you!

In one of the stages of burnout, you may find:

  • You can’t fully relax, or sleep, even when you do find a moment to rest.
  • Self-care doesn’t seem to stick. You’re anxious, on edge, or your mind won’t turn off.
  • You’re out of steam, exhausted, shut down, or just don’t care anymore.
  • You’re wondering: “I love my family and my job...Why am I not happy?” or “I have what I need...why can’t I enjoy it?” I specialize in therapy for those who care so much, they lose themselves in it.

My approach to therapy

A neuroscience-based model of therapy, designed for effective, time and money-saving results, validated by research, and then tailored to the needs of busy, family-loving, go-getters.

Step 1. Get to the root of the problem to stop emotional blocking that you probably didn't even realize you're doing.

Step 2. Release and heal painful unaddressed feelings.

Step 3. Practice new awareness and active intention for your life, managing old fears.

What you can expect from me

In our first session, we will get to work right away. We will begin practicing emotional processing and you will learn the four steps in which emotions are experienced so that you can:

  • Learn to love your job again
  • Strive to feel fully present with your loved ones, find joy in your health, and hold a boundary without a second thought
  • Discover a productive flow without the drag of nagging worries
  • Practice a more sustainable balance of work and life and manage stress more naturally
