Do you tend to be hard on yourself, often setting expectations so high that you feel inadequate and believe that you are not good enough? If you’re a physician or a high-performing professional, chances are you’ve gotten used to powering through stress, suppressing emotions, and suffering in silence. I specialize in working with physicians, healthcare workers, and professionals navigating burnout, perfectionism, depression, and anxiety, especially those who fear being judged, misunderstood, or labeled for seeking therapy. I understand the cultural, institutional, and internal pressures that make it hard to seek supportive therapy.

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), but more importantly, it’s grounded in you. Our work will be client-centered, collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to your pace. I offer nonjudgmental space where you can unpack the weight you’ve been carrying, reconnect to your strengths, and learn skills to manage stress long-term.

As Frederick Douglass said, “If there is a no struggle, there is no progress.” You don’t have to walk this road alone. Let’s make your healing journey one of transformation, not isolation. You’re allowed to be the one who helps everyone and still ask for help. Let’s begin.

I work with all adult clients who are engaged in professions and/or academics that come with high demands. Most of my clients are physicians and healthcare providers as they often endure burnout, imposter syndrome/self-esteem issues, and anxiety. Most of my clients engage in CBT work along with other interventions to help address their negative self-talk.

I often engaged clients in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist in addressing negative thinking patterns in support of managing anxiety and depressive issues. However, I like to engage in a client-centered treatment approach for a more tailored therapy experience for clients.
