With years of experience in mental health, I understand the unique pressures that come with high-achieving careers. The stress, the self-doubt, the never-ending demands—it takes a toll. But therapy isn’t about just pushing through; it’s about learning how to thrive.

Through compassionate, results-driven therapy, I help professionals like you:
✔ Manage workplace stress & anxiety without feeling like you’re failing
✔ Set boundaries that protect your time, energy, and mental health

Burnout & Chronic Stress

You’re not just tired—you’re drained. Burnout happens when you’re constantly pushing past your limits without time to recover. You might feel emotionally numb, mentally foggy, or like you just don’t care anymore. That’s not laziness, and it’s not something you can fix with a weekend off. We need to figure out what’s fueling this—your workload, lack of support, unrealistic expectations—and start making changes so you can actually breathe again.

Toxic Workplace Trauma

If your job has you feeling anxious, on edge, or like you’re walking on eggshells, that’s not normal—it’s a toxic environment. Maybe you’re replaying conversations in your head, doubting yourself, or feeling physically sick at the thought of work. That’s your nervous system reacting to stress and instability. You’re not ‘overreacting’—your mind and body are trying to protect you. Let’s work on untangling this, so you can stop carrying the weight of a job that’s hurting you.

Imposter Syndrome

Imposter syndrome is that sneaky, inner voice that whispers, *“You’re not really good enough”—*even when the evidence says otherwise. As a therapist, I often see incredibly capable, intelligent people who secretly feel like frauds, terrified that others will "find them out." It’s not about actual incompetence—it’s about a distorted perception of yourself, usually rooted in perfectionism, early family dynamics, or systemic pressures (like racism, sexism, or classism). Instead of internalizing success, you chalk it up to luck, charm, or timing. The work in therapy is to gently challenge those false narratives, reconnect you with your actual strengths, and help you feel deserving of the space you’ve already earned. You’re not faking it—you’re just not used to owning it.

Work-Induced Depression

When your job is draining the life out of you, it’s more than just stress—it can lead to depression. Maybe you feel stuck, unmotivated, or like nothing excites you anymore. The thought of another day at work might feel unbearable, but leaving doesn’t feel like an option either. We need to figure out what’s keeping you trapped in this cycle and how to bring some light back into your life—whether that means adjusting your mindset, setting boundaries, or finding a way out.

Boundaries & People-Pleasing

If you’re always the one picking up the slack, afraid to say ‘no,’ or constantly proving your worth, that’s not just ‘being a good employee’—that’s a boundary issue. You might be putting everyone else’s needs above your own out of fear of disappointing people or losing your job. The problem? It’s never enough, and it’s wearing you down. We’re going to work on shifting that—so you can set limits without guilt and stop feeling like you have to earn your right to rest.

Career Confusion & Identity Issues

You’re not sure if this job—or even this career path—is right for you anymore, and that’s terrifying. Maybe you’ve lost passion for your work, or you’re questioning if this is what you really want. That doesn’t mean you’re failing—it means you’re evolving. Let’s break this down: What’s actually making you unhappy? What would feel fulfilling? You don’t have to figure it all out today, but we can get you unstuck.
