You've spent your life being the capable one. High expectations (from yourself, your family, your job) taught you to push through and take care of everyone else. And it worked, sometimes for years, until it didn't. Now you're anxious and feeling disconnected from yourself, saying yes when you mean no, and the relationships that matter most are strained from carrying so much. Maybe ADHD makes the juggling act twice as hard. Whether you're a driven professional, a depleted parent or spouse, or a high-achieving teen (or their parent) navigating pressure, you can chart a new path forward — one that doesn't cost you yourself.
I know this territory firsthand: after 14 years in People Operations at Google, I made a mid-career leap to became a therapist. I specialize in over-functioners whose worth got tied to performing, pleasing, and achieving — and the anxiety, burnout, ADHD, life transitions, and family dynamics that follow. Therapy with me is tailored, practical, and warm.
My clients tell me that therapy with me feels like the one place they don't have to hold it all together, and that they leave with practical tools they actually use, not just insight. You've taken care of everyone else long enough. If you're ready to take real space for yourself, I offer a free 15-minute consultation.

I help with anxiety, burnout, ADHD, people-pleasing, self-esteem, & life transitions. We'll start by understanding the patterns and life experiences that got you here, then build sustainable coping skills and strategies that actually work. You don't have to arrive with it all figured out, but with each session, you'll leave feeling clearer, more grounded, and more connected to yourself and others.

We will draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness-based approaches. I tailor a unique plan to you, rather than following a one-size-fits-all formula. Sessions are warm, collaborative, and practical. Expect to feel genuinely heard, and to walk away with insight and real tools, not just a place to vent.
