Hi there! Many of my clients are high achievers looking for a therapist who will strive to understand their unique circumstances in life. They tend to feel anxious, stuck or empty despite being successful in their careers. They're used to working or living in a high-pressure environment and noticing how hard it is to maintain this lifestyle and keep the stress at bay. High performance comes at a cost and many times it’s our mental health that pays the price. Some may struggle with perfectionism. Sometimes what has "always worked" just doesn't cut it anymore and it can feel like no matter how much we try, its not enough.
My approach to therapy is one of creating an empathic and non-judgmental space where I actively collaborate with you to help you better understand yourself. I’ll actively listen to your story, ask questions, and we will have a conversation. We’ll explore your strengths, what’s working/what’s not, so that we can identify challenges and chart a way forward.
I invite you to visit my website and take a look around to get a better idea of who I am. If you’re still interested, you can contact me through Psychology Today or my website and request a free 15 minute consultation.
I do not accept insurance however I can offer super-bills which you can submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. Please check with your insurance company first. See my website for more info. I offer a sliding scale for students and recent graduates.
I am experienced in treating college law students and lawyers, as well as healthcare professionals of other disciplines. I hold a cultural competency certification for veterans and first responders, and a separate certification for military culture through the VHA.
I tend to work with clients who struggle with imposter syndrome, perfectionism, anxiety, burnout, career pressure, stress, grieving a loss, relationship challenges, and more. Early sessions will consist of getting to know each other and you sharing your experiences. We'll explore what you've tried, what you value in life, and what we can do in spite of the struggles.
No two people are the same and no one treatment will work for everyone. I want to hear your story to better understand what is important to you. We will explore what needs or challenges are impacting you the most and tailor treatment in a way that genuinely resonates with you. I view therapy as an opportunity to join you on your journey and work with you to help you pursue a meaningful life. I am well versed in CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Solution Focused. I have experience in using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and I am continuing to develop competency in with this mode of treatment.
