You wake up tense before the day even starts, yearning to burrow beneath the covers and block it all out. You suck it up to perform impeccably all day, no one suspecting the inner emptiness. Doomscrolling in the car after work, you dread going inside. You’re wired but tired, gifted but stuck, wondering how you got here. You’ve built a successful life, but stress, past trauma, perfectionism, and over-functioning are taking a toll. For the high achiever, corporate leader, burnt-out executive, or anyone with the quiet thought 'this can’t be it', you’ve come to the right place. You have a great life – I help you actually live it.

Starting with mindfulness, we'll help you slow you down enough to notice what’s happening when you're swinging between numbing out and spinning out. We focus next on your body, shedding chronic tension so you finally feel balanced. That foundation supports cognitive strategies – your mind will shift from a battlefield you're in to a trusted map you can use.

You might worry therapy will cost you the edge you rely on – that taking your eyes off the ball will make things worse. The goal here isn’t to derail you; it's to help you feel steady and supported for what’s already on your plate. Schedule your free 15 minute consult via my website or contact links here, and we’ll figure out how to make it work for you.

I often use Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my practice. We'll start by exploring what brought you to therapy and then decide the best ways for you to progress, and make change in your life. With ACT, we'll look at how your thoughts keep you stuck. Then you'll learn how to break free from your thoughts by connecting with your values, so you can ACT differently in your life (get it? ;)
