BUSINESS ASIDE

With over 30 years in practice, I have a diverse professional background as well as lived experiences that help to inform my work as a clinician.

I first started practicing in my 20s after graduating with my Master’s Degree. From here, my journey led me to pursue my Ph.D. before eventually returning to school for my J.D.

I continued to see clients part-time while working full-time at a law firm for over 20 years. Then, I pivoted again and earned my license as a clinical psychologist, then finally opened my own practice.

I intimately understand the strengths and hardships of high-achievers, and I’m passionate about supporting ambitious people to find fulfillment in both their careers and their personal lives.
