Great to meet you!

As a working professional myself, I know how difficult it can be to find a physical or mental health provider that works "after hours." I aim to meet you where you are, and sometimes that means after work, after school, or after the kids are in bed!

My approach to therapy

Juggling a career, kids, or a degree (sometimes all three) can be a recipe for burnout. Whether it's the guilt of "not doing enough" at home, the stress of a toxic work environment, or the isolation of grad school, it's heavy. Let's unpack that chaos and create expectations that are realistic and fair for you and your loved ones.

What you can expect from me

As we begin to know each other, I aim to create a collaborative partnership where we create goals that reflect your values, needs, and desires for growth. I will utilize your own perspective and words to define success, and focus on small, actionable steps, while revisiting goals regularly to adjust for progress and changing needs.
