Groups I Work With

I have intentionally designed my practice as a supportive, focused space where clients can address complex emotional, relational, and professional challenges with care and depth. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing anxiety, substance use and misuse, workplace stress, and significant life transitions.

A primary population I serve includes individuals experiencing addiction, as well as those impacted by a loved one’s substance use. I understand the emotional toll, boundary challenges, and patterns of burnout and codependency that often accompany these experiences, and I help clients move toward clarity, stability, and healthier relationships.

Healthcare professionals are another key population in my practice. With over 30 years of experience within the healthcare system—including roles as a clinician, director, vice president, and entrepreneur—I bring both professional and lived understanding of the pressures, ethical strain, leadership challenges, and workplace culture issues unique to this field. Clients in healthcare often seek a provider who “gets it”, and my background allows me to meet them with insight, nuance, and respect for the realities of their work.

Life transitions are a central focus of my clinical work across the lifespan. I support clients navigating adolescence and launching into adulthood, early career stress and “adulting”, marriage and family dynamics, empty nesting, career changes, and end-of-life concerns involving loved ones. These transitions can bring uncertainty, grief, identity shifts, and anxiety, and therapy can offer a steady space to process change and move forward with intention.
