Often rebooked
My dream client is a high-functioning woman who appears to be managing it all—but inside, she’s carrying the weight of anxiety, pressure, and deep emotional overwhelm. She might be navigating a major life transition like divorce, a career pivot, role change ,motherhood, fertility challenges, menopause or beginning or ending a career.. She may be successful on paper yet struggling to maintain boundaries, meet others’ expectations, or feel truly connected to herself. She could be facing workplace discrimination, identity shifts, or silently asking, “When is it my turn to exhale?” Many women seem to have it all but underneath often the wheels are coming off in are ever changing world where everybody often wants it now. I hope to help you to make your cup runneth over rather than droplets remaining.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is often most empirically proven to be most effective.I use CBT to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, challenge them, and build healthier ways of thinking and behaving. It's a powerful, practical tool for real change.
Motivational Interviewing
I incorporate Motivational Interviewing to help people explore ambivalence, build self-motivation, and take ownership of their goals—at their pace, with compassion and clarity. The motivational interviewing approach holds that resolving this ambivalence can increase a person's motivation to change.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
With DBT, I support clients in building skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and healthier relationships. It’s especially effective for intense emotions and interpersonal challenges.
Psychodynamic
I use a psychodynamic lens to explore unconscious patterns, early relationships, and inner conflicts—helping clients understand the roots of their struggles and find deeper emotional freedom.
