Do you feel exhausted always chasing the next milestone, but it never feeling like enough? Do you feel burned out and ready to quit but still wanting to achieve your goals? or maybe a sense of self-doubt with the pressure to always perform at your absolute best? Are your relationships suffering because you prioritize your goals over your loved ones? Do you feel like something is missing or unsure of who you are outside of what you can accomplish? Or even worried that others may perceive you as weak or incapable? How is that guilt showing up that you might need to spend time prioritizing your mental health as well?

I'll teach you the exact skills you need to not only accomplish your goals, but to also improve your relationships, feel more confidence, and quiet that inner critic WITHOUT asking you to sacrifice your success or what you want for your life. I believe that you can have it all - your health, your success, fulfillment, meaningful relationships, and joy.

If you want a therapist who acknowledges ALL parts of your life - welcome! I will help you to identify tangible, practical, achievable steps forward that can alleviate distress and create real change in your life without telling you what to do or shaming you into action. Ready to start? Schedule an intro call with me to see if we're a good fit. Talk soon!

According to research, your relationship with your therapist is more important than the theory I practice from - so our connection rules all! However, I am a trauma informed, identity affirming therapist who primarily practices from a Narrative therapy lens but I integrate other techniques as needed for YOU and your goals!
