Practice Information

If you're struggling with a workplace issue, please feel free to book a FREE 30min Consultation. I help folks maintain their mental health and resolve workplace issues they are facing. My expertise lies in recovery from being the target of bullying and harassment, working through being accused of bullying and harassment, managing toxic work stress, anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, and workplace trauma. My clientele is 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, I have worked closely with executive directors, managers, new leaders and professionals in Human Service or social sector industries (e.g. Nurses, doctors, HR, nonprofit, international aid, other health care professionals, lawyers, social workers, counselors, activists, and religious professionals). 

Together we work to figure out your next best move and to manage the distress you may be experiencing. When it is relevant to you and your situation, I work with your moment-to-moment experience through a relational lens. Together we process your experiences in a safe environment, working with your thoughts, belief systems, body and emotions.

If this service sounds like something that might be of help to you, please don't hesitate to reach out!
