Clients I Work With
I specialize in working with women who are caught up in people pleasing and associated behaviors such as making yourself ‘small’, not prioritizing your needs, all while being very self-critical. These unhelpful beliefs can result in anxiety, depression, and burnout while continuing to erode self-worth. More broadly, I have expertise in helping clients with anxiety disorders, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions. My additional specialties include: Career/Workplace: job loss, work-life balance, communicating with difficult bosses, and Loving your Introversion: Western cultures tend to favor extroverted personalities which can lead to anxiety or lowered self-esteem for introverts.
Approach
My therapeutic approach varies depending upon my clients’ needs. I am trained in multiple evidence based approaches including solution focused, CBT and EMDR which I often employ when working with clients who have experienced trauma.
Beliefs & Lived Experience
I returned to school later in life to become a therapist following a long career in business, where I had specialized in helping corporations implement and manage large scale change. I made the career change because I wanted to be of greater help to individuals as they journey on their own personal and professional paths. I try to practice what I preach so when I encourage clients not to be fearful and to embrace change it is because I have been through it myself and can see the benefits. I have the experience to be your guide. I will both challenge and support you on your journey, toward your goals. Until then… be courageous, be yourself and start now!
