Career Therapy for Executives, Leaders, and High-Performing Professionals in Connecticut
Do you have trouble pulling yourself away from the computer, or making it out of the office at the time you planned? Maybe it feels like there’s always more to do. You’ll push harder, work faster, or achieve the next goal, and then you’ll make time to take a break, right? Has that day come yet? Many professionals say it never does. It’s normal to want to build a secure future for yourself or your family, or to make a mark for yourself in your field. There is a way to do that without sacrificing your health, personal life, and general wellbeing. I help busy and stressed professionals create a sustainable relationship with their job and long-term work satisfaction.
Imagine if you could spend more time focusing on your loved ones. What if you could sign up for that yoga class, or take the trip you secretly dream about? You don’t have to give up your goals to do it. You can be successful, while leaving work at work. I can help you learn how to do both. Contact me below to get started.
Who Am I?
I’m a trauma-informed therapist, career coach, and mother of four. I provide career therapy for executives, leaders, and high performers who want to restore balance to their life’s work. I’ve been able to help even the most driven and work-focused professionals find ways to enjoy life again. I bring together polyvagal theory, feminist career therapy, and practical DBT skills to help you understand your current patterns, so that you can make long-lasting changes.
Need to Talk?
If your work has become unsustainable, and you’re finding yourself daydreaming about leaving it all behind and running away to a deserted island somewhere, that’s a good sign that you need more than just a vacation. Schedule a free, confidential consultation and let’s talk about what’s going on.
