In our first session I will ask questions to understand the full picture of your life- including work, relationships, personal goals and pertinent family history. This will allow me to evaluate all contributing factors that brought you to therapy. 

Once this is complete, we can begin to chart a path forward so that you can experience relief and implement new practices right away. Oftentimes people report relief even after just the first session.

Most likely our work together will address some combination of the following: 

managing anxiety- including panic attacks

addressing physical symptoms

irritability, anger or emotional outbursts

low self esteem or confidence

avoidance of feelings, numbing or constant distraction

difficulties with sleep, appetite or concentration

isolation, or a loss of motivation in personal interests & loved ones

fear of losing it all, financial pressure or guilt

communication skills & relationships issues

the time is now

You are successful in your work for a reason. 

You are focused, determined, and passionate. But success doesn’t mean you are immune to anxiety, chronic stress, depression, or any of the other reasons people pursue therapy.

In therapy, I will use your inherent strengths to help you reach your objective of well-being. By identifying your blind spots and roadblocks, I guide you to arrive at your own psychological insights.

Then, together, we create practical actions for you to change the behavioral patterns and habits that do not serve you and to set healthy boundaries going forward.

I coach you on how to communicate more openly and effectively, how to decompress after particularly demanding professional encounters, and reconnect to yourself as a whole person.

I help you navigate your emotions so you can operate optimally, focus on doing the work you love, and enjoy the success you deserve — not just financial freedom, but emotional & relational freedom as well.

I'm here when you're ready to take the first step.

what we'll do together

This specialty therapy is geared toward high-level professionals in fields such as medicine, education, technology, business, and law.

Due to the demands of your work it is highly likely that at times, you experience frustration, anger, confusion, anxiety, or loneliness. It’s inevitable that you also experience a great degree of persistent stress.

The impact of this unaddressed stress can begin to creep into your work, your health, and your relationships- impacting the way you think and perform. Stress can become your “normal” state, but the reality is, a sustained state of stress is anything but normal.

Now, of course stress is not inherently bad — it’s actually a vital component of our sympathetic nervous system or our fight-or-flight instinct. And you may think of yourself as someone who performs best under pressure.

However, too much stress over time can weaken the immune system and lead to serious health-related issues like heart disease, high blood pressure, insomnia, and weight gain.

In fact, emotional stress has been found to be a major contributing factor to the six leading causes of death in the United States.

It’s important to note the signs of stress before it gets out of hand and to seek help when necessary.
