I combine focused study of workplace issues with experience from a lifetime of corporate work. I have a passion for helping people navigate career transitions from starting out, to starting again, to retirement's second act. We might explore what changes feel right, even if they feel scary, or how to believe in yourself and find meaning and balance between work and life.

Empowering women--and men--to understand their experiences to the extent that cultural influences have played a role is a focus of my practice. I explore with my clients the ways in which their lives might be changed by living more true to themselves and finding the strength to do so.

Anxiety is our body's way of telling us to pay attention to something--a real or perceived threat in our environment. I work with clients to recognize their anxiety, attune to where it's coming from, and give it the attention it needs, whether by using tools to calm the nervous system, appraising the thoughts that support anxiety, or taking appropriate action. We'll also talk about ways of reducing anxiety through habits and behaviors, and what to do in situations of panic.

Ever feel like everything is just too much? Not getting as much done as you used to? Nothing feels worth it anymore? You may be experiencing burnout. Recognizing what's happening is a critical first step, and then working on balancing work and life--and giving yourself permission to do that--is important. We'll also work on boundary setting and other workplace skills, as well as taking time for yourself: and therapy is that first step.

Anxiety is our body's way of telling us to pay attention to something--a real or perceived threat in our environment. I work with clients to recognize their anxiety, tune in to its source, and give it the attention it needs, whether by using tools to calm the nervous system, appraising the thoughts that support anxiety, or taking appropriate action. We'll also talk about ways of reducing anxiety through habits and behaviors, and when 'sitting with' it is the best approach.

I help clients see how their strengths can be applied to make changes in their lives. We'll explore not only what has worked well in the past, but what may have worked well at one time but is no longer serving you, and work toward a ulfilling future.

I work with clients to make changes in their lives by examining the way they view themselves, others, their relationships, and the conventions in our culture, and by trying new behaviors in a supportive environment.
