About

I can help you get off that annoying wire hamster wheel you've been running around in, watching the wheels spin faster and yet going nowhere, staying stuck. When we get caught up in patterns of toxic striving, we focus on finding answers and solutions or chasing hits of validation. That chase can be hopeless and exhausting; it never ends. As soon as you feel like you've "nailed it" in one area of life, a new challenge pops up. I founded my practice, HumanKind Psych, to help overthinkers, people-pleasers and burned-out high achievers let go of the quest for answers or a quick fix, in favor of finding freedom and fulfillment in life. I am warm and authentic. I treat you as the expert on yourself and tailor my approach to your needs. My theoretical roots are in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Intuitive Eating, among other evidence-based approaches. My work inspired me to write Toxic Striving, a book for people who are tired of chasing hits of external validation.
