Great to meet you!

Welcome!

We specialize in supporting adults during their life or career transitions.

My approach to therapy

We will use insight-oriented and accountability practices to help you remain productive and to challenge thoughts, coping patterns, or unconscious beliefs that may be keeping you stuck or in limbo.

What you can expect from me

We will work in a calm, nonjudgmental way to help you use your innate strengths and skills, and to build new practices that work for you.

Mental and physical health are the same thing. I ask clients to consider their diet, exercise, sleep, work hours, screen time, relationships, and work.
