Trained at Stanford, UC Berkeley, and Notre Dame, I specialize in therapy for high-achieving students and professionals in elite academic and career environments. Many of my clients are law students, attorneys, medical school applicants, graduate students, and ambitious adults navigating anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, relationships, school stress, career pressure, and life transitions. They are often high performers and the person others turn to, even when they need support too.
As a recovering perfectionist and former anxious PhD applicant, I get it. I draw from CBT, solution-focused therapy, positive psychology, and mindfulness-based tools. I’m also an author of mental health and clinical workbooks and an adjunct faculty member at Pepperdine, where I teach graduate-level psychology courses.
Many clients who have been to therapy before tell me how “easy” I make the process feel. Sessions can feel like talking with an old friend: warm, respectful, validating, and light-hearted. Therapy can help with self-care, boundaries, and thriving. Sometimes there’s even a necessary detour into Netflix or teen romance dramas. I’d LOVE to meet you!
