As an attorney-turned-therapist, I help clients struggling with the demanding world of high-stakes professions or owning a business. I help couples struggling with the conflict that can come from these demands as well. When you're striving for success, trying to keep everyone else happy, you can easily find that you've lost yourself in the process. I know what it's like to work in a job that you don't entirely hate, but where you aren't really happy either. And I know the toll it takes on your personal life and relationships. That's where I can help you. I specialize in individuals and couples struggling with these types of issues.
My specialties include navigating stress, anxiety, and depression, improving work-life balance, and guiding clients using therapy and techniques from mindfulness and meditation which I have experience teaching from a Buddhist perspective. In marriage counseling, I address intimacy issues and infidelity using sex therapy and Gottman techniques.
When stress, anxiety, or personal hurdles overshadow your goals, you seek more than insight—you seek transformation. With a unique blend of corporate experience and therapeutic acumen, I help professionals like you gain the clarity and tools needed for profound life changes. Let’s start your journey to a fulfilling personal and professional life.
