Your career may have once seemed like a calling, but now it also feels like a burden. You wonder where your passion and purpose have gone. You are tired of being made to work in ways that don’t align with your values or ethics, and you wonder about the toll this work may be taking. People (including you!) tell you that you just need to relax, but that’s hard to do, and you already feel like you spend too much of your “free” time numbing out with whatever’s at hand. You’ve read all the tips for managing stress, fighting burnout, and practicing good self-care, but your energy and motivation are inconsistent and the payoff is small. You’re not sure where to go from here.

That’s where we can begin. Together, we’ll consider the full range of your stressors (at work and away from it), assess the impact of the systems in which you work and live, and identify your most helpful ways of coping. We will draw on your already-present strengths and resources and help you to develop new ones that are aligned with your values and goals. Our work will also address the added strain that may be placed on you due to systemic and interpersonal racism, sexism, ageism, ableism, and institutional exploitation, as well as continued impacts of childhood or intergenerational experiences of trauma and loss.

I’d love to help you find new ways to think about and take action around your experiences at work and beyond, to reconnect with and invest in yourself, and to experience greater alignment between your actions and your values—so that you can feel more empowered, energetic, and emotionally available in all areas of your life.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual psychotherapy services to adults throughout California, Wisconsin and all PSYPACT-participating states through voice and video teletherapy only, as well as professional consultation to individuals and organizations.
