I work with ambitious, high-performing professionals who strive for excellence but often find themselves stuck in patterns of overworking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and chronic pressure to hold it all together. On the outside, things look successful. Internally, it feels exhausting, isolating, and unsustainable. As a former coach and Division I athlete, I understand the mindset of high performers. How discipline, drive, and high standards can lead to success, and how those same qualities fuel burnout, anxiety, and disconnection over time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565639093984-3732ZUTBZMVES4VPABBK/peonyvase.jpg Home - I’m here for Professionals Executives Government Contractors Business Owners Entrepreneurs Athletes Performers Creatives https://www.bloomhuntsville.com/blog daily 0.75 2021-09-05 https://www.bloomhuntsville.com/blog/fear-to-power-by-changing-the-way-you-think-and-speak monthly 0.5 2021-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1630862719646-F145H6KFJH1PAFGNLCX5/Pain-to-power+Vocab.jpg Blog - From Fear to Power by Changing the Way You Think and Speak - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.bloomhuntsville.com/blog/how-to-stop-overfunctioning monthly 0.5 2021-09-05 https://www.bloomhuntsville.com/blog/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-therapy monthly 0.5 2021-09-04 https://www.bloomhuntsville.com/blog/how-to-make-time-for-therapy-when-you-have-no-time monthly 0.5 2019-08-23 https://www.bloomhuntsville.com/blog/how-to-find-a-therapist-in-huntsville-alabama monthly 0.5 2019-08-22 https://www.bloomhuntsville.com/blog/mastering-the-elite-athlete-mindset monthly 0.5 2019-08-22 https://www.bloomhuntsville.com/about daily 0.75 2025-10-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565189871161-17VV7S2LM9F0Z3G6QO57/welcomebackground_peonies.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565190399023-OCQ0J6S98PE03J50XEM5/about_background.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565197321822-YV0L8CRJHS3Z7NCLDMYP/worktogether_banner3.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565201617336-BOOI9AAR0FLSAOVQ6644/professional_background2.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565191162976-63CR95KAZJXABP3OPSG7/welcomeimage.png About - Bloom: verb | to mature into achievement of one’s potential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565800729120-PMKMJT1OIVDQXH91EVEP/louisadileone_bloomcounselinghuntsville.jpg About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/9376d2fd-17df-4923-823e-f5a4dd278184/Edit-9115.jpg About “Be you, in bloom” isn’t just a tagline.

By getting extremely clear on what works for you, you can begin to let go of the things that are holding you back in order to maximize your efficiency and effectiveness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565200846063-MMCV65ZQH9N5PVUXK7R1/birds_bloomcounseling.jpg About I’m warm, yet direct, and love working with people who are ready to make lasting changes. My style is interactive and I’m not afraid to get in the trenches with you and talk about anything you need to get off your chest. As a lifelong leader, former Division I athlete, and coach, I know what it takes to motivate and communicate with top performers to help them overcome obstacles and reach their goals. I was born and raised in Connecticut, and have been living in Madison, AL for 14 years. In my free time, I love hanging out with my family, friends, & pets, antiquing and decorating my home, and gardening. https://www.bloomhuntsville.com/services daily 0.75 2022-05-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565643784737-A1VT5VMA5D6N1LPUDRYC/services_background.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565644205328-QH1K63XCWX8UHPPV693I/theprocess_background.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565646048729-6P16WVQ6W3ZLXR1QG71D/testimonial_background.jpg Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565643911541-0AS4NW64XRVCVL21LF0L/services_frame.png Services - Psychotherapy to relieve stress and feel like yourself again. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565710330168-J97XX49G3M0SROQR2CA5/process01.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565710339221-1H0RD9IH5BZ3WR0JVNYC/process02.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565710348697-T3CZAQXY4SIZ6NP87H98/process03.png Services https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565645126336-Z66YGA6RZHKZZERBYQ6K/depression-anxiety-mood.jpg Services - Depression, Anxiety, & Mood Instability Overcome self-defeating thoughts and attitudes so you can feel happy In today’s fast-paced environment, many people experience mood symptoms.

This answer varies and depends on the severity of the challenges you are facing. Typically, clients see the most success when they meet with me either weekly or bi-weekly. If symptoms are mild, therapy can last 8-12 weeks. Clients who have more complex issues or those who are looking to do deeper work attend for a longer period of time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565799103657-V4XID4U62WDATRMZT980/testimonials.png Contact - What happens in the first session? The initial appointment is called a Diagnostic Interview, as it is not a normal therapy session. I will ask you questions about the problems you are experiencing and we will get to know each other to determine if we are a good fit (which is so important). I will offer treatment recommendations, and if you decide you'd like to start therapy, we will get your future appointments scheduled. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565799138314-J0DLU1Y85W9ONCA2DFH1/testimonials.png Contact - What treatment modalities do you use? The interventions I use will depend on your treatment needs. My work is grounded in trauma-informed care, with training in EMDR, attachment-based therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). Rather than focusing on surface-level coping skills alone, we'll work to get to the root so you can experience lasting change. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5d4089b176a499000180d54f/1565799157093-S21Y4MDKYO44V8P64DQS/testimonials.png Contact - What is your training?
