You are probably not someone who asks for help easily. You have spent years being the one who figures things out, who holds it together, who performs. And it has worked. Until it started costing you more than you expected. I work with executives, founders, and high-achieving professionals who are ready to stop managing their inner life and start understanding it. People who are successful by every measure and still feel something is off. The relationships that suffer quietly. The version of yourself you have not had time to think about in years. If that is you, you are in the right place.
My sessions are honest, direct, and nothing like what you might expect therapy to be. We actually talk. No worksheets, no generic advice. I use somatic and expressive approaches alongside evidence-based methods to get beneath the surface fast. Most clients say they leave thinking in ways they could not access on their own.
I am based in San Francisco, trained at CIIS, and facilitate Interpersonal Dynamics groups at Stanford GSB. Licensed in California and Florida, seeing clients via telehealth. The consultation is free and takes 20 minutes. If any part of this landed for you, I would love to hear from you.

I work with high-achieving professionals navigating burnout, perfectionism, and relentless pressure. Therapy here is not about coping. It is about understanding what is driving the exhaustion and the patterns that keep repeating, so you can change them at the root.

My approach draws from multiple modalities because people are not one-dimensional. I use somatic and expressive methods to access what words alone cannot reach, relational and psychodynamic work to understand patterns, and evidence-based approaches like CBT and EMDR when the moment calls for it. Sessions feel like a real conversation, not a clinical protocol.
