Hi there! Many of my clients are high achievers looking for a therapist who will strive to understand their unique circumstances in life. They tend to feel anxious, stuck or empty despite being successful in their careers. They're used to working or living in high-pressure environments and noticing how hard it is to maintain this lifestyle and keep the stress at bay. High performance comes at a cost and many times it’s our mental health that pays the price. Sometimes what has "always worked" just doesn't cut it anymore and it can feel like no matter how much we try, it's not enough.
My approach to therapy is one of creating an empathic and non-judgmental space where I collaborate with you to help you better understand yourself. I’ll actively listen to your story, ask questions, and we will have a conversation. We’ll explore your strengths, what’s working/what’s not, so that we can identify challenges and chart a way forward.
If you're struggling with perfectionism or never being satisfied in life despite all the hard work you have put in, reach out. I invite you to visit my website and take a look around to get a better idea of who I am. If you’re still interested, you can contact me through Psychology Today or my website and request a free 15 minute consultation.
