About My Clients

I help individuals navigate life transitions—whether starting a career, stepping into retirement, or managing caregiving roles like parenting or supporting aging parents—by aligning with their values and aspirations. I’m also passionate about supporting those struggling with disordered eating and body image, fostering practical coping skills, self-compassion, and a stronger sense of identity.

My Background and Approach

I bring a wealth of clinical experience and draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities to tailor an approach that best suits your unique needs and circumstances. My primary goal is to work collaboratively with you to clearly define what you hope to achieve through therapy. Together, we will create a thoughtful and personalized plan designed to address your challenges, build on your strengths, and help you reach your goals. My aim is to ensure that the work we do together leads to meaningful, real, and lasting change, empowering you to live a more fulfilling and balanced life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As someone who has experienced a career change, I bring a broad range of professional and life experience to my work as a clinician, as well as a personal understanding of what it feels like to set out in a new career direction. I enjoy helping clients navigate life transitions in a way that resonates with their core values and brings more meaning, connection, and a sense of purpose to their lives.
