Specializations
Healing from Trauma
Healing from trauma is not something you have to do alone. Together, we move at your pace, honoring your story with care and respect. In a grounded, non-judgmental space, we gently untangle the impact of what you’ve been through, so you can feel safer in your body, clearer in your mind, and more present in your life. With support, compassion, and authenticity, we focus on helping you reclaim your voice, your boundaries, and your sense of self—one step at a time.
Peri/Menopause
Supporting women through the hormonal shifts and emotional transitions of perimenopause with empathy and clinical experience. Arriving at the most productive times in our lives, our bodies feel like shifting ground as we go through a totally normal biological process.
Life Transitions & Burnout
Guiding adults through significant life changes with integrity, helping you navigate uncertainty and find your way forward.
Dementia caregiving is one type of life transition that happens to many families. If you are facing this type of shift in your family, let me bring a toolkit of skills and expertise to help develop strategies to meet your goals and manage your well-being. I have more than a decade of specialized expertise and training in supporting individuals with cognitive changes.
Coaching
Unlock your professional and personal potential through goal-oriented coaching sessions. We focus on developing actionable strategies that align with your core values, fostering leadership skills and emotional intelligence to navigate complex organizational landscapes with authenticity.
Academic Mentorship
Supporting scholars and faculty at all career stages, by a former tenured associate professor. From navigating the tenure process to developing research integrity and pedagogical excellence, mentorship is focused on realistic strategies tailored to the unique pressures of the academic environment.
Choosing the right college path or managing college life as an adult is a unique challenge. Academic mentorship can help focus on building strategies and decision making for success.
