You need a therapist to get to the root of the issue and not just put a bandage on your symptoms.

While you continue to achieve success, you’re so anxious and afraid that if you make a mistake everyone will realize you’re not as perfect as you appear. 

Deep down, you feel lost and insecure. Even though you’re highly driven and successful, you’re experiencing chronic anxiety and tireless self-doubt. 

You’re looking for a therapist who will help you understand yourself at a deeper level so that you can gain clarity. You’re looking to break free from this relentless cycle of anxiety and turmoil.

You’ve done a great job managing a ridiculous amount of responsibility and your non-stop determination has served you well throughout your life. You may get everything done, but it takes its toll on you.

You’ve accomplished A LOT, but you can’t help but notice every slip-up. There are nights you can’t sleep because you keep recounting moments you are ashamed of and you question every decision that you make. Sometimes it feels like you only got to where you are due to luck.

You’re struggling to find purpose and on your worst days you feel miserable and hopeless. It feels like you lost yourself. 

You feel like you have to hold in your true emotions so that you don’t disappoint others. You can’t let anybody see your true self because you’re worried they will see your flaws and reject you. When this happens, you just end up setting impossible expectations for yourself. You end up feeling like a failure and lashing out at others. 

This doesn’t mean you can’t start living a life full of authenticity. It simply means that you need to uncover the origin of deep-rooted patterns so you can break the cycle of perfectionism and start trusting yourself.

The truth is, the process of self-discovery can be hard. It’s normal to feel unsettled diving into the past.

Let me tell you a little bit about what it’s like in the therapy room with me.

Not only we will notice and talk about what is happening to you outside of therapy, but we’ll also investigate the stuff that is coming up between us in the therapy room. We typically have tendencies that often resurface no matter where we are. 

Even though you feel nervous, you can use this insight and awareness to transform your self-doubt and anxiety into self-compassion and understanding. You can learn to communicate what you feel and form genuine relationships that lift you up instead of bringing you down over and over again.

As a Licensed Psychologist, I help you gain perspective and insight so you can change the way that you are living now. 

My mission is for you to understand the underlying cause of your reactions so that they don’t keep relentlessly repeating themselves in your relationships and work life.

I am dedicated to digging deep and getting to the root of the problem. I will help you get to the deepest parts of yourself in a way that feels safe and supported so that you can regain a sense of calm and peace.

I am passionate about helping you live an enriched emotional life with relationships that you deserve while still maintaining your success and achievement. 

You are READY to invest in yourself.  It’s time to do the work.
