About My Clients

You're successful on the outside, but inside, you feel overwhelmed, stuck in a cycle of overthinking, perfectionism, and burnout. Anxiety drives you to strive for more, yet it robs you of joy and peace. Despite feeling like you should handle it all, your mind won’t slow down. As a high-achieving person, you give endlessly to others while neglecting yourself. You long to feel calmer, set boundaries, and realign with what truly matters. Therapy can provide clarity, relief, and a path forward.

My Background and Approach

With over a decade of experience in academic medical centers, state psychiatric hospitals, VA hospitals, and the corporate world, I bring a wealth of knowledge and practical insight to therapy. My background allows me to connect with clients facing diverse challenges while understanding the realities of navigating work-life balance and preventing burnout. I specialize in evidence-based treatments like CBT, ACT, trauma-focused therapies (CPT and PE), and mindfulness and compassion-based approaches. My treatment is tailored to your unique needs, combining proven techniques with a personalized approach. Together, we’ll set tangible goals and develop practical skills to help you overcome challenges and realign with what truly matters.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process. You're the expert on your life, and my role is to provide guidance, tools, and support to help you navigate challenges and create meaningful change. I also believe that mental health is deeply connected to all aspects of life—relationships, work, values, and self-care. Struggling doesn’t mean you’re broken; it means you’re human. Therapy offers a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences, gain clarity, and build the skills to move forward. I approach every client with compassion, curiosity, and respect, and I believe that growth happens when you feel heard and understood. I know it’s possible to move from feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out to living a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals. My mission is to help you rediscover your strengths, reconnect with what matters most, and take meaningful steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.
