Therapy
Psychotherapy is available for adolescents and adults navigating normal life transitions, as well as those seeking support and skills related to mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD and executive functioning challenges. I provide individual therapy for adolescents and adults, family therapy, and parenting consultation.
I believe in a strengths-based and research-informed approach to change. You are the expert on yourself and/or your children, and I bring expertise from studying and working for over 25 years with many of the issues you may now be facing. Together, we'll explore your strengths and the challenges within your current situation, and we'll set measurable goals for improvement. We are all the products of a mix of our genetics, relationships, and experiences. In a confidential, supportive, and non-judgmental setting we can look at their relative contribution to your situation and identify the best ways to ensure your health and well-being
Divorce Coaching
When couples who have children are divorcing, maximizing the children’s emotional security and development requires thoughtful consideration of their unique and changing needs.
Collaborative work with a neutral provider who has specialized training in child development can help stressed parents create a written plan for co-parenting that focuses on what's right for their children, which may change over time. I help parents identify shared values as they relate to the raising of their children, and commitments that will foster the children’s healthy growth and development. I also use a templated guide that walks parents through situations and considerations that may arise as children are raised in separate households, so that there are plans in place that decrease the potential for discord. Participants in this time-limited process consistently report how valuable it is to the entire family, during the divorce and beyond.
Leadership Coaching
Self-awareness and emotional intelligence are critical skills, for both aspiring leaders and those already in the position of developing potential in people and organizations. My coaching partnerships focus on identifying core values that drive motivation, learning to differentiate and manage emotions well, developing confidence for critical conversations, and building resilience skills for the inevitable setbacks. Personally trained by Brené Brown as a Certified Dare to Lead™ Facilitator (CDTLF), my work with individuals and teams is informed by her research and many others, along with extensive clinical and systems training and experience..
Keynotes, Workshops, and retreats
I speak to the heart of what it means to live well in every role we play - at work, at home, and in our communities. My talks blend research on neuroscience, values, compassion, and resilience with relatable stories and actionable strategies. I equip audiences with practical tools to quiet self-criticism, navigate challenges with confidence and clarity, and function with more ease and purpose.
I also offer workshops and retreats that are immersive opportunities to deepen learning and engage new practices that enhance the quality of your life, work, and relationships. I was personally trained and certified by Brené Brown to deliver workshops using her highly experiential curricula: Gifts of Imperfection™, Daring Greatly™, Rising Strong™ and Dare to Lead™. In my retreats, collaboration with other providers allows us to offer a holistic approach to supporting mind, body, and spirit with nourishing meals, content and discussion, journalling, yoga, creative expression and quiet time.
