Still performing. Still achieving. Deadlines hit, calls returned. All while running on empty. I specialize in therapy for high-achieving professionals — attorneys, physicians, tech founders, senior academics — whose drive built their career and is now costing them sleep, presence, and connection. High-functioning anxiety. Burnout may not look dramatic from the outside. Difficulty disconnecting. A widening gap between how life looks and how it feels. At some point our "push through" strategy no longer works. Figuring out what comes next — without losing the gifts that got you here.
I work like you work: written treatment plans, measurable goals, and progress reviews every 6–8 weeks. I use CBT and ACT applied to the patterns that develop in high-pressure careers. If something isn't working, we identify why and recalibrate. Sessions are $300, private-pay, fully virtual — early mornings and evenings in California and Texas.
If you're reading this at 11pm wondering whether therapy is even worth it — that's a familiar starting point. Most of my clients waited longer than they needed to. You don't have to have it figured out before reaching out. A free 15-minute fit call is a low-stakes, no-commitment way to see if this is the right fit.
