I work with thoughtful, high achieving adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, burnout, imposter syndrome, and the emotional demands of high-performance environments. Many of my patients are deeply motivated and accomplished, yet struggle with chronic self-pressure, overthinking, relationship stress, or difficulty slowing down. My approach is collaborative, individualized, and integrative, helping patients better understand patterns, strengthen self-awareness, improve relationships, and feel more grounded and fulfilled in both personal and professional spheres.
My practice includes treatment of anxiety, ADHD, depression, OCD, and reproductive mental health. I work extensively with individuals in demanding academic, corporate, athletic, and leadership environments. I am pursuing advanced IOC training in Mental Health in Elite Athletes, with growing focus on collegiate, NCAA, and elite-level athletes and teams.
Whether you’re seeking treatment for the first time or returning to care, I aim to create a space where patients can think openly, feel understood, and approach challenges with honesty, curiosity, and practical strategy. My patients often describe me as collaborative, engaged, direct, insightful, and kind — with humor and a poker player’s perspective.
