When you reached your career goal, you never realized that relentless overwhelm would become the norm.
You followed the blueprint, studied, and got the job, but you're still miserable. The self-doubt is suffocating. You work SO incredibly hard for this life, but you're not present enough to enjoy it.
That's where I come in. I'm a clinical psychologist (Psy.D.) who helps anxious high achievers actually find and maintain work-life balance.
Working in a stressful hospital setting the majority of my career, I saw firsthand the impact of anxiety and burnout. I questioned everything: Can I trust my judgment? Is this field even for me? Do I have any idea what I'm doing?
Helpers often struggle the most with asking for help for themselves. When I finally started talking to people about it, I realized I wasn't alone. I was able to make strategic shifts to build a career that also gave me room for a life.
It's possible to make clinical decisions, hit your billable hours, and/or meet your deliverables in a way that leaves you room to breathe. Why just survive, when you can thrive?
Ready?What to Expect
I often hear from clients that they share things with me they haven't felt comfortable sharing with anyone. You don't have to carry it all by yourself anymore.
First Session
We talk about what you're struggling with and get to know each other. No rigid agenda. No pressure. Just a real conversation.
Second Session
We make a game plan for reaching your goals. Strategic, collaborative, and built around your actual life, not a textbook template.
Therapy Strategies
Building coping skills. Developing motivation. Making strategic perspective shifts. Exploring mindfulness. Improving your relationship with yourself through self-compassion.
Therapy Outcomes
You can:
- Trust your judgment again
- Have time and energy for loved ones
- Set healthy boundaries
- Wake up feeling rested and energized
- Take care of yourself

Fun Facts
- Two of my three (unhinged) cats often join sessions.

- I blow through romantasy books and have almost zero memory of them after reading.
- I like to think I'm on top of my shit, but "Find My iPhone" is one of my husband's most used apps.
- I love flowers and floral everything, but have approximately negative two gardening skills.
- I've been told I put way too much milk and sugar into my lattes. But, hello, isn't that the point of a latte?
