Are you a high-achieving individual who looks like you have it all together, but inside you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck? Many of my clients are women navigating perfectionism, self-doubt, and the weight of constant expectations, often during major life changes. I also specialize in supporting teens and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and the pressure to ‘do it all.’ I see clients in-person in the South Bay and virtually across California, offering a compassionate space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.

I'd like to speak with the woman in charge! Yes, you! The woman in charge... of everything. I see you. You are carrying everything and you're doing a darn good job. The only problem is that you feel like you're about to collapse, and you're resentful of the burden you carry for others. You aren't happy in your relationship because you either don't get the love you need, or you don't even know how to ask for it. I have worked with many smart, capable, strong women. These women have done a lot of work to bend and flex, to communicate well, to speak up for their needs, only to feel unheard, alone, or unsupported.

On the outside, you’re capable and successful. On the inside, your mind won’t slow down. Many of the high-achieving professionals I work with struggle with anxiety, overthinking, burnout, or feeling constantly on edge. Others notice motivation fading or feel disconnected from the work, relationships, or life they once cared deeply about. Couples often come in when communication breaks down or stress from demanding careers begins to affect the relationship. If things look fine from the outside but feel much harder on the inside, therapy can help you regain clarity, balance and a stronger sense of direction.

I work collaboratively with my clients to create a safe, supportive space where we explore the places they feel stuck and unable to move forward. Using a client‑centered approach, we uncover core beliefs, attachment patterns and internal dynamics that may create isolation. Together, we nurture inner strengths that support acceptance, healing and growth. Having walked my own path of healing, I understand the courage it takes to move towards vulnerability and hold deep respect for the therapeutic space and trust it requires, to reconnect with oneself and build a life that feels true to who you are and genuine connection.

Would people at work be shocked by who you are at home? Do you feel like you have it all together on the outside but are battling something deeper underneath? If you’re stuck in cycles of anger, addiction, or grief despite your success, you’re not alone. Therapy isn’t about venting - it’s about real change. My approach is direct, results-driven, and grounded in science-backed techniques like Brainspotting and the Trauma Resiliency Model. Together, we’ll cut through the noise and tackle what’s holding you back. We’ll address the behaviors and mindsets that once served you but are now keeping you stuck.

As a therapist I have been practicing therapy for over 18 years and enjoy working with a variety of clients. I have had success in working with women and men who have had past trauma and/or transitional life issues. I utilize forms of long- and short-term therapy for adults helping them find their voice.

I work with men who feel stuck in cycles of anger or reactivity, and want to understand what’s underneath it. I also work with anxious women who find themselves overextending, overthinking, or overwhelmed in their closest relationships. If you’re exhausted by self-sabotaging, people-pleasing, walking on eggshells, or second-guessing your needs - let’s slow it down and sort it out. It can feel really good to finally get help, and yet hard to accept that you deserve it. Wherever you are in that process - ready, reluctant, or somewhere in between - I’ll meet you there.
