Therapy for driven minds

Find calm, clarity, and balance — without losing your drive.

On the outside, you’re accomplished and dependable. You seemingly have it all together. On the inside, you feel constantly on edge.

You replay conversations, say yes when you want to say no, or push yourself past exhaustion. Overthinking, people-pleasing, and perfectionism often drive anxiety and burnout. These patterns can make even simple decisions feel overwhelming, lead to constant self-criticism, and eventually cause burnout.

I’ve been there. I spent 10+ years in corporate finance. I lived the high-pressure deadlines, perfectionism, and periods of constant overthinking. Therapy helped me with my professional career and I became a therapist to help others who experience burnout and anxiety.

Therapy helps you identify the root causes of these habits, develop practical coping strategies, and regain balance, focus, and calm in your daily life. In therapy, you’ll learn to quiet self-doubt, set boundaries, and move through your day with more ease.
