My clients tend to be perfectionists, overachievers, "formerly gifted", and burnt the hell out. They struggle with rest, link their self-worth to productivity, and have great difficulty putting themselves first. If this sounds like you, you have come to the right place.
As a recovering all-of-the-above, I will teach you how you can still achieve your goals and be successful, while also developing the ability to chill out without guilt (hooray self-compassion!). I will also help guide you in exploring how these ideas about running yourself ragged formed, and how to change what you want!
The Silicon Valley is not an easy place to live. Our culture is fast-paced, outcome-driven, and highly focused on performance. Rationality is great, yet emotions, kindness, and authenticity have their places, too. The way through burnout is learning to balance all of this, and I am eager to help you do so.

I work with clients who are struggling to enjoy their lives. We do a deep dive into what is not working, the strategies you're using to cope, and how those strategies got there. We then make a plan together about what you want to change, and how. I'm here to support you every step of the way.
