My Story
Change requires action - and you're someone who understands action. I'm here to ensure this choice yields new growth and fruit.
YOU HAVE A CHOICE TO MAKE
it's time
I understand the yearning for more, the longing to shed the weight of self-doubt, comparison and toxic behaviors and desire to step into the fullness of your potential.
MY PATH TO GROWTH
In my previous life, success was measured by accomplishments and stress was part of the job description. But beneath the façade of success, I grappled with the hidden truth: I was an over-functioner and a self-proclaimed perfectionist. As the weight of my responsibilities grew heavier, so did the toll on my physical and mental well-being. Anger and toxic behaviors became coping mechanisms, a shield against the relentless pressure. I yearned for a second chance, a fresh start, but felt trapped, believing I had to wait for the right moment to make a change. But here's the twist: I unlocked the secret right in front of me-realizing that I had to lean into the uncomfortable and do the work.
As Robert Frost said, "The only way out is through." Now, armed with the wisdom gained from my own journey of self-discovery and transformation, I stand before you not just as a therapist, but as a fellow traveler on the path to growth. My experiences have taught me the power of resilience, the importance of self-compassion, and the boundless potential that lies within each of us. It's this blend of personal insight and professional expertise that enables me to connect deeply with my clients, guiding them toward healing, growth, and the fulfillment they deserve.
And now, I extend these tools to you, my fellow traveler, to help you do the same. I don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution, for I know that each journey is as unique as the individual undertaking it. Instead, I offer a partnership, a collaboration where your voice is the guiding light. Together, we’ll turn your dreams into plans and your plans into reality, anchored by evidence-based practices and fueled by your own innate wisdom. I meet you where you stand, and together, we build the scaffolding that will elevate you to the heights of your aspirations. So, buckle up, because this journey’s about to get exciting.

Sheila has been the most amazing professional therapist that I have worked with. She has a lot of different skills to apply when needed in sessions, and her ability to know when to use which skill has kept sessions productive and healing. She has helped me through huge life transitions, including a very traumatic car accident. -A.
