You've built something extraordinary — a career, a reputation, a standard of excellence that very few reach. And you've done it mostly by pushing through. But there's a point where sheer force of will stops working, and what got you here won't get you through this. Whether you're a surgeon carrying the weight of impossible decisions, a first responder running on fumes, a Navy SEAL facing the aftermath of service, or a CEO whose performance has cracked — this is where you find the edge of what you can do alone. I help high-achieving people close that gap.
I'm direct. I won't waste your time with theory you don't need. My work draws on EMDR, IFS, somatic approaches, and — for clients who are candidates — ketamine-assisted therapy. Twenty-five years, thousands of hours, and a genuine belief that the people who serve others most need someone unapologetically in their corner.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation — no pressure, just a real conversation about whether we're the right fit. I see clients in Del Mar, San Diego, and across California via telehealth. Aetna accepted. If you're ready to stop managing and start moving — reach out.
