Get to Know Our Therapists

Life can be demanding and stressful, even for those who seem to have it all. High achievers, despite their remarkable strengths, often encounter unique challenges. Stress, anxiety, and perfectionism can sometimes overshadow their successes, while work-life imbalance, role overload, and strained relationships take a heavy toll on both health and happiness. If you're a high achiever seeking more than just success – but also a fulfilling, balanced, and joyful life – I am here to help.

My approach is rooted in understanding your unique needs and developing personalized strategies that allow you to navigate these challenges while achieving your personal and professional goals. My doctoral training emphasized integrated care, which combines the treatment of physical health with behavioral health, alongside evidence-based interventions, management skills, and entrepreneurship approaches. Skilled in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR, I use proven techniques to help you process trauma and reframe negative beliefs.

I offer an empathetic, optimistic, encouraging, collaborative, authentic, and direct approach, providing genuine support to unlock your full potential. As a clinician, entrepreneur, clinical supervisor, and executive leader, I bring a wealth of experience to guide high achievers like you. Seeking therapy requires strength and courage, and I deeply respect your commitment to growth. I believe in your ability to thrive, and I invite you to schedule an appointment or consultation with me if you are ready to work together toward a life that aligns with your values, goals, and true happiness as your authentic self.
