Why The Gray Mare?

I chose The Gray Mare because as I approached 40, so much of what I heard from social media and even friends and family was that “the good times are over.” But as I’ve advanced through my 40s I’m learning that the good times are just getting started. There’s an old folk song that says, “The old gray mare, she ain’t what she used to be.” And I’m not. In many ways I feel more connected to my purpose and more invested in my work and relationships than ever before. I want all my clients to feel the same - centered and confident, grounded in what they feel is their purpose, and curious about the opportunities that lie ahead.

How I can help

I work with individuals and couples who are navigating all the transitions and existential questions that come around in midlife. Clients come to me when they have worked hard to build the life they want, but aren’t able to enjoy it. Things look great on paper, but on the inside my clients are deeply unhappy or anxious.

Individuals or couples can engage in regular hour-long sessions or 2-3 hour intensives. The pace and frequency of meetings is really up to you, depending on your capacity and schedule.

Who I work with

My practice is LGBTQ+ friendly and neurodiversity-affirming. If you’re a part of these communities, you’ll find sessions with me a safe, affirming space. As a social worker, a central pillar of my practice is anti-racism, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and I work hard to provide a supportive, justice-oriented environment for all my clients.

If everything feels like it’s upside down and you’re not sure which way to go, therapy can help you sort that out. Whether you’re a woman whose coping skills just can’t keep up with the changes perimenopause is throwing your way or you’re a couple who’s wondering if you’d both be happier apart, I can help you find the way forward.
