Intro

“The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.” - Carl Rogers

I specialize in working with helping professionals, with a particular focus on nurses, who are navigating anxiety, burnout, imposter syndrome, chronic stress, and the emotional demands of caring for others. I am particularly passionate about supporting early-career nurses as they navigate the transition from training to professional practice. The responsibility of caring for others, combined with high expectations and constant demands, can contribute to anxiety, self-doubt, and emotional exhaustion.

About Me

My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I help clients understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while exploring the expectations, beliefs, and patterns that may be contributing to stress, burnout, and difficulty coping. Together, we work to develop practical coping strategies, build self-trust, and create a more sustainable relationship with work and personal well-being. Clients often appreciate that I balance compassion with thoughtful challenge. I provide a supportive space to process difficult experiences while helping you gain insight, perspective, and the tools needed to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience.
