You are functional on paper — educated, driven, responsible — but internally, something feels off. Life changed (or is changing), and your usual coping strategies aren’t cutting it. Many of my clients are medical professionals, attorneys, and high achievers navigating burnout, identity shifts, or major transitions while feeling pressure to “handle it better.” You want clarity and perspective, not to be pathologized — just supported as you move forward intentionally. You’re ready to improve your self-awareness, goals, boundaries & assertiveness. You’re ready to become anew, feel in control of life again. Sound like you? Let's talk.
I specialize in adjustment-related concerns, stress, ADHD, premarital work, family/stepparenting dynamics, & clinical supervision. I use SFBT, CBT, and existential approaches. Sessions feel like honest conversations with an unbiased therapist who challenges patterns, reframes perspective, and helps you take practical next steps. También hablo español.
I'm existential, a realist & eclectic, which means we'll explore, find meaning & implement solutions...at your pace.I self-disclose like Irvin Yalom; you'll get to know me.If you’re looking for real conversation, cultural understanding, thoughtful perspective shifts with pop references, metaphors, bad words & honesty —I invite you to see if we’re a good fit.
