Many of the clients I work with are experiencing burnout.  I am passionate about helping high-achieving young professionals rethink the way that they have tied their work related achievements to their identity.  If work has been your anchor, a work instability feels all-encompassing.  You excel in your role:  you receive high-praise from leadership;  colleagues turn to you for support and problem solving;  you always meet deadlines. At surface level, none of these facts have changed, yet it feels like everything has changed, and it’s impacting a lot more than just work.  

Let’s work together to examine the situations that have been causing distress. My role as a clinician is similar to that of a consultant: you are the subject matter expert, and I can provide new data collection techniques and introduce new strategies. This approach will bring clarity, which you will use to make critical decisions.

I know that it can be daunting to know where to start, especially when the progression hasn’t been linear. You will take the lead on where it would be most helpful for us to start.   I prioritize curiosity, humor, empathy, and an eclectic mix of evidence-based frameworks to guide our work together. I look forward to hearing from you.

My areas of clinical focus are in :

I am originally from the East Coast, and I have lived in Chicago for the last 10 years.  I have previously held clinical and administrative roles within Community Health Centers  and inpatient hospital settings.  The diversity of these experiences has helped me explore different skill sets and deepened my ability to show up in an authentic and open-minded way.   

Community is very important to me, and spending time with my friends and family brings me so much joy.  I feel most grounded when I am walking around my neighborhood drinking coffee, listening to a podcast, and petting cute dogs along the way.   During the warmer seasons, I can be found reading fiction by the lake.
