I'm a therapist practicing statewide in California helping high-achieving women go from overwhelmed and burnt out to balanced and fulfilled. If this will be your first time in therapy, it's normal to feel nervous or overwhelmed. You may even feel doubtful that your problems are "big" enough to warrant therapy at all. First, I want to convey to you that I honor the courage it takes to ask for support in seeking therapy, as you found your way here.
As a recovering perfectionist and high-achiever myself, I understand that your self-reliance and independence have been key to your success. However, it's important to remember that you don't have to carry everything on your own. Seeking support is also a strength.
Think of therapy as the one timeslot in your week that isn’t for doing or achieving, but rather for space to slow down and focus on what you need to feel well and perform your best in the long run. The reality is mental health conditions tend to worsen over time without proper treatment and the longer an individual stays in a burnout phase the longer it typically takes to recover. You deserve to achieve your goals while also maintaining your well-being and nourishing the relationships with those who matter most.
I'm a therapist who practices what I preach (even though therapy will never be preachy) and living a healthy, mindful life has truly become a passion of mine. When I'm not in session I'm probably taking a Pilates or hot yoga class or making nutritious meals.
Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.

Therapy doesn't have to take up much time in your busy schedule.
Our practice offers face-to-face virtual sessions making it convenient and highly effective for busy professionals.
We’re therapists that do more than nod our heads.
Meaning we talk in session and provide our feedback and insights when appropriate. The therapeutic relationship is often the biggest indicator of successful outcomes in therapy so we foster this relationship by offering a safe and supportive environment and practice from a collaborative approach. We believe you are the expert in your life, while our role is to serve as a guide in helping you reconnect to yourself and develop a new relationship to your emotional experience.
Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all.
As a boutique practice, we are able to work with a limited number of individuals so we can offer you truly personalized care and so you never feel like you're just another client to get through. We will take time to understand you as a whole and develop a tailored plan for you based on your specific needs and preferences.
