Are you a healthcare practitioner, nurse, or first responder? I specialize in working with women in the "helping fields". High expectations take a toll on our minds and our bodies. You want to feel grounded and confident. Many women I work with talk about losing themselves and feeling frustratingly stuck.

I also have a special interest in working with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I work with first-generation American-born people and "third culture" kids.
