Practice Information

Hello - I work with folks who are struggling with workplace issues like bullying and harassment, toxic work stress, anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and workplace trauma. My clientele are usually feeling exhausted (sometimes on medical leave) and have tried a bunch of stuff that just hasn't worked for them. Often high levels of anxiety and depression type symptoms go along with these experiences. Although I work across industries from longshoremen to IT, my expertise lies in working with folks who are in a human services or social sectors (e.g. HR, nonprofit, international aid, health care professionals, lawyers, social workers, therapists, activists, and religious professionals). 

I work with you in your moment to moment experience through a relational lens. Together we processing your experiences in a safe environment working with your emotions, thoughts, belief systems and body to unpack and listen to your life and together figuring out what do to next. 

I would love to meet you and walk with you through your healing journey. It is always my greatest privilege in life to create the spaces for people to connect to their authentic selves and build the life they most want. If you want to chat about how therapy might help you feel better please connect through text, phone, or email.
