Master of Arts (MA) - Clinical Mental Health Counseling Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT Specialties • Insurance & Fees • LocationsI came to this work as a mental health professional after a lifetime of being seen as someone with their shit together, ahead of the curve, and was overall "fine" (cue burning building). Now I transform those years of experience into helping other high-achievers heal and recover from shame, loneliness and self-doubt. My treatment approach is strategic, holistic, and highly interpersonal.
I primarily serve successful leaders and senior level executives who look like they have it all; but are struggling internally with perfectionism, inner-criticism, and racing thoughts. My clients often start therapy about how bad they feel because they know they're fortunate and privileged, but can't shake the unhappiness no matter how hard they try.
My clients are super smart and highly motivated, with high standards for their work, relationships, and overall way of life. They often come to therapy because they feel stuck – which is uncomfortable and foreign, given how good they usually are at achieving their goals.
I help people get from where they are to where they want to be, whether that means being more fulfilled or better compensated at work, finding a partner, building healthier, happier relationships in general, or making a cross-country move. My passion is helping other's live their best lives, as I do her best to live mine.
Therapy with me is intended to be as comfortable – and effective – as possible. I channels my love for my work into the therapy, while safely and skillfully addressing my clients' most pressing concerns.
