Where I specialize

I specialize in working with high-performing adults navigating burnout, aging, and the deeper questions that arise across different stages of life. Rooted in gerontology, my approach recognizes that emotional well-being evolves alongside our identities, relationships, and physical health. I work with individuals who are used to functioning at a high level, but are seeking a more sustainable, intentional, and supported way of living.

You’ve built a life that works—on paper.

You’re capable, responsible, and often the one others rely on.

And still, something feels off.

Burnout creeps in quietly. Transitions feel heavier than expected.

Or you find yourself asking deeper questions about purpose, identity, and what comes next.

This is where therapy shifts from something reactive…

to something intentional.


Life Transitions

*

Life Transitions *

You may seek therapy for life transitions if you are:

  • Experiencing a career change, promotion, or professional uncertainty

  • Adjusting to parenthood, an empty nest, or shifting family roles

  • Navigating divorce, partnership changes, or relationship evolution

  • Relocating or feeling unmoored in a new environment

  • Facing a health diagnosis or medical decision

  • Questioning identity, purpose, or direction

  • Feeling “in between” versions of yourself

Transitions often look stable on the outside while feeling destabilizing internally. Therapy provides structure and steadiness during seasons of change.

Aging + Life-Stage Development

*

Aging + Life-Stage Development *

You may seek therapy around aging if you are:

  • Processing physical changes or health concerns

  • Adjusting to new limitations or evolving capacity

  • Supporting aging parents while navigating your own midlife

  • Reconsidering long-term plans, retirement, or legacy

  • Experiencing shifts in identity as roles change

  • Feeling grief about time passing or bodies changing

  • Wanting to age intentionally rather than reactively

Aging is psychological as much as it is physical. Therapy can help integrate growth, loss, and adaptation with clarity and dignity.

Burnout + Stress

*

Burnout + Stress *

You may seek therapy for burnout if you are:

  • Feeling emotionally depleted despite continued performance

  • Struggling with motivation or decision fatigue

  • Experiencing irritability, numbness, or detachment

  • Finding it difficult to rest, even when exhausted

  • Noticing your nervous system feels “always on”

  • Carrying responsibility without recovery

  • Wondering how long you can keep going at this pace

Burnout is not weakness — it is a signal. Therapy becomes maintenance, recalibration, and long-term sustainability.

Support for Mental Health Professionals

Support for Mental Health Professionals *

The work of caring for others can carry cumulative emotional weight, including vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout

  • Mental health professionals may experience heightened stress, emotional reactivity, or difficulty fully stepping out of the therapist role

  • I offer supportive, trauma-informed therapy with Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) as you can often find relief of symptoms in 1-2 sessions.

  • Care is collaborative and paced with intention, supporting regulation, sustainability, and long-term professional wellbeing
