You've built a career most people would envy — and you're exhausted by it. I work exclusively online with high-achieving individuals on the issues that surface once external success stops being enough: work-life imbalance, strained relationships, burnout, and the ways high-functioning coping (including alcohol use and other addictive patterns) can quietly take root in high-pressure lives. Virtual sessions aren't a compromise for my clients - they're often the reason therapy is possible at all. No waiting room, no commute. Just a private, confidential space that fits into your life instead of competing with it.

I bring 20 years of clinical experience working with high achievers across the country, not just in the DC area — which means I understand this population well without being embedded in the same professional or social circles many of my clients move in. That distance is often exactly what makes people feel safe enough to be honest.

My goal isn't to help you do more. You do so much already! My goal is to help you build a life and relationships that hold up under the pressure you're already carrying. If this sounds like what you've been looking for, I offer a free consultation call to make sure it's a good fit.
