With both corporate and non-profit organizational and management experience, I specializes in working with highly successful professionals and the unique challenges they face, both in the spheres of work and personal life. Many of my clients are executives and managers in tech struggling with imposter syndrome, burnout, questions centering on purpose and joy, mid-life crisis/awakening, relational challenges, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or personality/management challenges (whether it is managing up, down, or sideways).
Therapy with me will address both the practical and existential facets contributing to the obstacles you face, so that real, permanent change is possible. I am highly organized and sessions are structured so that you can meet your goals manageably and efficiently. I prioritize the empowerment of my clients, sharing notes and many resources documenting exercises and tools I teach so that clients can build their own toolboxes. Additionally, the meeting cadence and structure is tailored uniquely to each client, so as to support each person's individual needs.
And for those with strong musical and artistic inclinations, I can integrate live music and art into the therapy for those who find the creative channels the most receptive to healing work.
Welcome. I'm glad you're here.
