About
Everybody has a story. Authentic narratives provide a clear sense of purpose, direction, and meaning. But, when struggling, your story can be confusing and painful. Inauthentic stories can lead you down a path of damaged relationships, poor self care, and compromised values. Anxiety and depression follow. You can't always change the circumstances or the characters, but you can always change your role and personal narrative. Common themes include self-worth, love, family, friendships, stress, money, career, grief and finding purpose. If you're ready for a new chapter, I'm here to help. My business/coaching and financial therapy background make me a good fit if you're feeling stuck and need clarity. I specialize in life transitions at all stages of career, relationships and personal growth. We'll explore emotional blocks, values & decision-making. Expect an interactive style mixed with humor. I'm action-oriented and solution-focused. What can feel like a breakdown is really a breakthrough. It's all in how you tell your story. You have to take care of yourself first before you can care for those around you, whether your role is personal or professional. I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for you to express, explore and engage. It all starts with a free consultation. Specialties: I work with clients who are feeling depressed or anxious due to a major life transition. During our first session, we will explore all facets of your life, identifying themes, patterns and stories. Follow up sessions will focus on changing painful narratives that are keeping you stuck to powerful ones that move you forward. Clients progress with action toward goals and increased positive mood. Credentials & Experience: Are you experiencing money anxiety or conflict? As a Certified Financial Therapist I help clients have a healthy relationship with money. It starts by being able to talk about it.
"I help clients explore, challenge, and update the stories they tell themselves. Healthy narratives support healthy habits that validate your self-worth. I use techniques from CBT, narrative therapy and solution-focused. As a financial therapist, these same frameworks help clients make the connection between self-worth and their money story."
