My Approach to Helping
Professional women, military professionals (AD, GS, Res, Guard, Contractor, Retiree), and military spouses face unique challenges and demands. You may be under extreme stress or putting undue pressure on yourself and now feel tired and overwhelmed, wishing your life was in balance. My passion is working with those who need support with stress, anxiety, or depression whether due to daily demands or life transitions like divorce, griefloss, career changes, or moves. I enjoy working with professional women who I believe experience challenges in balancing career, family, and personal needs that sometimes require recalibration through the experience of therapy. I also enjoy working with military professionals who have their own difficulties in managing high work loads and high stress in addition to life's demands; I have worked on bases and with the VA for 10 years as a military psychologist and am also a military spouse so I understand these challenges first hand. You should feel supported in working through challenges & be satisfied with your life. Via on-line therapy, we'll identify your main concerns and use your strengths to develop a practical plan for reducing pain.
We'll work together to identify life patterns, thoughts, and behaviors that have you stuck. Therapy is custom-tailored to use your strengths in making changes. My style is calm, down to earth, professional, compassionate. We'll develop insights that take us further into your story to break through the blocks that have kept you from your most actualized life.
As a professional woman and military spouse, I understand the challenges of life stressors and changes. It pains me to see people suffer when solutions are available.
We’ll work together to:
1) Give you a (cyber)space to tell your story
2) Discuss your hopes and goals
3) Find ways to clear your path for change
4) Identify specific steps you can take to move towards goal achievement
5) Celebrate and maintain changes!
The first step in creating change is focusing on you. I believe psychology provides a guidebook in navigating life and offers relief. Call me today for a free 15 min phone consultation, and we'll see if we're a good fit. I look forward to talking with you.
