Therapy is a process of change. Changing what no longer works and moving toward what's clearer and simpler. I specialize in helping people who feel stuck or overwhelmed, including creatives, nurturers, and innovators, as well as executives navigating complex workplace demands. Together, we address concerns by exploring any stressors, habits, doubts, experiences, and patterns impacting your life. My style incorporates constructive insights and practical solutions infused with warmth, humor, and realistic hope.
