Therapy for the whole of your life —with a deep understanding of work
You don’t stop being yourself when you go to work, and work doesn’t stay neatly contained there. I offer therapy for the full range of what brings people in—stress, relationships, identity, transitions, emotional patterns, and moments when life no longer feels sustainable.
Many clients find their way here because something at work feels heavy, confusing, or no longer workable—often related to work and career concerns. My approach is grounded in a deep understanding of how work, responsibility, and professional roles shape inner life—alongside relationships, history, values, and nervous system responses. Attention is given to making sense of what’s happening and to how change unfolds in ways that feel meaningful and sustainable.
Of course, your life is more than your work—and therapy can reflect that, too. Other concerns are welcome here, including relationships, stress, transitions, or parts of your life that deserve attention.
What working with me is like
Therapy here is grounded and responsive. Sessions are shaped by what brings you in, rather than organized around a fixed agenda or formula.
Attention is paid to patterns and reactions while staying connected to what’s happening in day-to-day life. The work tends to remain close to lived experience, allowing understanding to develop without forcing conclusions or outcomes.
I respect and honor diversity in all its forms and am committed to working with individuals from all backgrounds. My goal is to provide therapy that is inclusive, respectful, and deeply supportive of your unique experiences.
Work stress, burnout, and career concerns
For many of us, work is a major part of adult life and it carries pressure, responsibility, identity, and long-standing expectations. When work becomes unsustainable—emotionally, physically, or relationally—it frequently reflects burnout or chronic work stress and affects other areas of life as well.
I work with clients who are dealing with:
- chronic work stress or burnout
- difficult or high-pressure work environments
- questions about career direction or fit
- perfectionism, self-doubt, or imposter syndrome
- the emotional impact of job loss, layoffs, or major work transitions
For many clients, this work also involves recalibrating boundaries, expectations, and capacity—central themes in work-life balance therapy.
.Rather than treating these concerns in isolation, we look at how work fits into the broader picture of your life and how you want to be living it.
An integrative, trauma-informed approach
I draw from several evidence-based and relational approaches and integrate them based on what’s most helpful for you.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): CBT helps identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, or feeling stuck. I use it in a flexible, real-world way—often to support coping, decision-making, and navigating challenging situations at work and in life.
Trauma-Informed Care: A trauma-informed lens recognizes how past experiences can shape how we respond to pressure, authority, conflict, and change. This approach supports working with those patterns at a pace that feels respectful and manageable.
Mindfulness and Nervous System Awareness: Mindfulness and nervous system awareness help increase capacity to notice stress responses and internal cues, creating more choice in how you respond rather than staying in constant reactivity or overdrive.
Relational and Developmental Perspectives: We also consider how relationships, life stage, and long-standing roles influence how you experience work, responsibility, and connection.
This work is informed by psychodynamic and attachment-based perspectives, alongside cognitive, mindfulness, and relational approaches, and adapted to what is most useful in the moment.
Focused on clarity and forward movement
Therapy focuses on what is happening now and how patterns and meanings develop over time. We stay with emerging reactions and experiences, without presuming where things should land.
Progress often shows up as greater clarity, steadier responses to stress, and more flexibility in how situations are met.
