I work with professional women to overcome the challenges and obstacles to growth and achievement in their professional and personal lives.
We will work together to achieve the breakthroughs you need to take charge of your life. My approach is empathetic and collaborative, with a treatment plan tailored to fit your individual needs.
Women are experts in their industries, leaders in their communities, heads of households, and nurturers to their friends and families. However, in the midst of career achievements and pursuits, women can sometimes feel pressured and unable to fulfill the very roles that they sought or have been given. They begin to second-guess themselves, and often feel like imposters – out of balance and overwhelmed.
We will work together to identify the areas of your career and personal life that need tending and help you see the potential of your thoughts. You will learn how you can set yourself up for success by challenging the status quo and your own internal obstacles, as well as finding ways to navigate workplace, career and personal issues in a thoughtful and productive manner.
Change in life is inevitable, however, major life changes, whether they are positive or negative, can be difficult to manage without help. Emotions can arise that make you feel overwhelmed or isolated, causing anxiety or even depression.
If you’re having trouble dealing with changes like job loss, divorce, loss of a loved one, an unexpected breakup, or other life transition – big or small – I can help you ease the adjustment as you navigate your way through it.
I will work collaboratively with you to help you develop coping skills and strategies to manage the stress and emotions around these periods of change.
