Licensed in California and Arizona.

I am a licensed clinician with experience in hospital social work, maternal-child health, professional supervision, and behavioral health leadership. My focus includes helping individuals through burnout and career transitions, particularly mothers navigating the complexities of motherhood and life transitions. Poised Clinical Consulting was created to provide personalized support and practical guidance, helping you regain clarity, confidence, and direction.

You feel stuck in a career that no longer fits, experiencing burnout and career transitions. You’re burned out and mentally drained, and you’ve lost parts of yourself in motherhood. As you navigate motherhood and life transitions, you’re questioning what’s next but don’t know where to start. You don’t have to figure it out alone; individual therapy can provide the support you need.

Burnout and career transitions can leave you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your work. Individual therapy can be a valuable resource to help navigate these challenges, especially during significant phases like motherhood and life transitions.

Motherhood and life transitions can be challenging, often leading to feelings of uncertainty. Many individuals experience burnout and career transitions during this period, making it essential to seek individual therapy for support and guidance.

Clinical Supervision: I am a former medical social work supervisor and behavioral health manager, offering clinical supervision for associates navigating burnout and career transitions. My aim is to provide guidance, build confidence, and enhance skills, especially for those dealing with individual therapy and the challenges of motherhood and life transitions.

My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and focused on helping clients navigate burnout and career transitions with clarity and confidence. Through individual therapy, clients often leave feeling: greater emotional clarity and self-awareness, improved boundaries in personal and professional relationships, reduced anxiety and overwhelm, confidence in navigating major life transitions, including motherhood and life transitions, and healthier coping strategies that foster resilience.

For clinicians and organizations seeking support with burnout and career transitions, retention, and sustainable practice in high-demand environments.
