If you're high-achieving and still feel like anxiety, panic, ADHD, depression, or relationship friction is quietly unraveling you, you're in the right place. You don't need more coping strategies. You need a clearer architecture for how you think, perform, and show up. I'm a former LPGA Tour professional with a double Master's in Sport and Family Psychology. After overcoming a 50% loss in vision and rebuilding my clarity from scratch, I don't just teach resilience. I've lived it. I work with executives, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are done managing symptoms and ready to build something stronger.
Mental Architecture is my signature framework: a direct, structured process that blends CBT, Solution-Focused Strategy, and Clinical Hypnotherapy. We don't spend sessions on open-ended venting. From minute one, we build a clear roadmap, identify the specific patterns holding you back, and track real progress.
You may look like you have it together and still feel like something is quietly unraveling. Success can be isolating. Whether you're navigating ADHD, burnout, anxiety, panic, depression, or relationship friction, I work as a strategic partner, not just a therapist. Private-pay. Reach out for a free 15-minute consultation.

My approach integrates Mental Architecture through three primary pillars: Jungian Depth Psychology (Shadow Work and Active Imagination) to resolve root conflicts, Performance Hypnotherapy for subconscious reprogramming, and Solution-Focused CBT to build a pragmatic "Game Plan." I bridge technical logic with soul-work to help you achieve individual sovereignty.
