what you might care about most is that I've successfully dealt with high anxiety and even panic attacks in my own life.
ATTENTION PROFESSIONALS STRUGGLING WITH HIGH ANXIETY AND/OR RELATIONSHIP ISSUES (AT WORK OR HOME): You really want to talk with someone, but you're not sure who to trust. When you describe tough challenges at work or with your family, you want someone who GETS IT. The last thing you need is to discover that your counselor has too little experience to bring any new solutions to the table. You're looking for someone who's "BEEN THERE AND DONE THAT." Someone who inspires confidence with the way they approach their work, and someone who's already solved the problems you're dealing with.

Have you ever felt like you're constantly fighting an invisible battle with yourself? A battle with your body, your habits, or even the people closest to you? Do you find yourself wanting more from your relationships but feel stuck, frozen by fear or uncertainty? Maybe you’ve asked yourself, “Why can’t I just be better?” or “Why am I always feeling like this?” You might be carrying wounds from the past, perhaps from a time when you had to suppress your emotions just to feel safe or accepted. But now, those old coping mechanisms no longer work. Instead, they keep you distant from the connection and fulfillment you truly crave.

Having a good relationship with oneself is a process and a practice, and can be cultivated through the therapeutic process. Every relationship is dependent on how we talk to ourselves, and this inner conversation is what therapy can shift. If you have the willingness, huge transformation is possible. I am in this field to help people sort out a way through and beyond unnecessary suffering, and towards deep peace with themselves and others. I have successfully treated high-functioning CEOs as well as people traumatized, addicted, and broke. Being human is challenging, and with the right support, beautiful. Call. I can help!

Actually shifting how you respond so your life starts to feel different.
You perform at a high level, but something isn’t working. You’ve tried to think your way out of it. It hasn’t changed. Habits that used to help now leave you exhausted. You find yourself in the same loops, at work, in relationships, or on your own, and more effort isn’t fixing it. Many of the people I work with are neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD, high-masking), operating in high-pressure environments, or trying to hold relationships together under stress. The problem isn’t a lack of insight. It’s that the patterns running things don’t respond to insight alone.

Some life experiences create open wounds that can have a paralyzing impact in the way we see the world, interact or make meaning of it.
I have over a decade of experience working with children, families, caregivers, and couples. In addition to my clinical work, I facilitate T-groups and serve as a coach at Stanford Business School, which deepens my understanding of corporate culture, leadership dynamics, and interpersonal communication in high-stakes environments.

Other times, life might take unexpected turns and we hit "rough patches" with co-workers, friends, family, partners - maybe even finding difficulties within ourselves.
A gifted teacher showed me it's wiser to learn 1,000 things to help one person, than one thing that claims to help 1,000 people. In therapy, I work by integrating a variety of skills to meet the needs of each unique person at each unique moment. Together, we cultivate a relationship of mutual respect that may heal and allow one's best hopes to be achieved.

You feel stuck in the same cycle. Stress rises. Conflict grows. Anxiety takes control. The issue sits deeper than motivation. Many people never learned evidence-based skills for regulating their emotional state. Without these skills, impulsive reactions damage trust. Communication breaks down. Boundaries weaken. Counseling builds practical tools so you can regulate emotions, rebuild trust, and communicate with clarity.
