You are a high achieving professional, but you are still not fulfilled. You're not a quitter, but something needs to change. Feeling exhausted, worried, angry, stuck, and/or frustrated have become the norm. Perhaps you are having trouble concentrating or the workload, anxiety, and pressure are finally taking a toll. You present well on paper, so it's hard to believe that anyone could understand. You want to be excited about work and maybe even life again, or at least feel less anxious and depressed, but nothing you’ve tried so far has worked.
Not everyone gets what it's like - the success on the outside and the anxiety, doubt, and exhaustion on the inside. As therapist who was a lawyer, I specialize in working with people who present well on the outside, but secretly struggle on the inside. I get it, and I know how to tailor science-based solutions to help get you to "better."
You are not one to give up just because things get hard. You know you want to feel differently, but you don’t know where to start. You can start here. If you think we might be a good fit, call or email me, or check out www.castrojacobs.com to schedule your free consultation.

I view therapy as a collaborative and interactive process where we work together. My style is conversational and grounded in genuine connection, balancing reflection with actionable strategies. I aim to create a space that feels both supportive and engaging—where you feel heard, challenged when helpful, and equipped with tools you can apply in daily life.
