You can run a department, close a deal, or win the case, and still feel like you're barely keeping your head above water. I work with students, driven professionals, attorneys, and business owners who look put together on the outside but feel like something underneath isn't working, stuck in anxiety, burnout, or stress with no obvious off switch. My identity as an athlete has profoundly shaped the way I see the world, and I understand performance pressure firsthand, not just in theory. We find what's actually driving it and build a plan you can see working, not just a place to vent for 45 minutes a week.
I treat anxiety, depression, perfectionism, burnout, sport psychology, and couples over telehealth, using CBT, ACT, and interpersonal work because it's evidence-based, not trendy. Sessions have direction. You'll leave with something specific to try, not just more to sit with. I bring humor into it too, because change is hard enough without being joyless.
Change is uncomfortable before it's useful, and you don't need it figured out before you reach out. If you're tired of managing everything except the thing underneath it, that's where we start. Plenty of my clients are new to therapy or tried it once, and it went nowhere. I'd rather show you what honest therapy looks like than ask you to take my word for it.
