Fellow Therapists and Other High Achieving Professionals

Specializing in the unique challenges of high-achieving professionals — healthcare workers, lawyers, business owners, corporate executives — I work with individuals who face intense pressure to perform at the highest level both personally and professionally.

Let’s create a dedicated space for you to step back from the demands of your roles and invest in yourself.

Common Struggles:

• Chronic stress and burnout despite outward success

• Impostor syndrome and persistent fear of failure

• Perfectionism, overcommitment, and difficulty delegating

• Feelings of isolation, disconnection, or emotional numbness

• Difficulty maintaining work-life balance or setting boundaries

• Physical and emotional exhaustion

• Loss of meaning or passion for work you once loved

Chronic Pain & Chronic Illness

Living with a body that is unpredictable, painful, or persistently unwell is exhausting in ways that go far beyond the physical.

Chronic symptoms can feel isolating and overwhelming, but evidence-based psychological tools offer real, lasting relief — not by dismissing the pain, but by changing how the brain and body respond to it.

You might be experiencing:

• Daily pain or symptoms that have not responded fully to medications, procedures, or conventional therapies

• Anxiety, hypervigilance, and fear around physical sensation, activity, or symptom flares

• Grief and loss — for the life, identity, and future you imagined before illness

• Frustration and shame from feeling dismissed or disbelieved by the medical system

• Depression, isolation, and withdrawal from relationships and activities you once valued

• Disrupted sleep, work limitations, and a diminished sense of who you are beyond your diagnosis

• The cognitive and emotional labor of managing symptoms, appointments, and uncertainty

Modern pain science has fundamentally shifted how we understand and treat chronic symptoms.

Grief & Loss

Grief is most commonly associated with the death of someone we love — but it is a much broader human experience than that. Grief is the natural response to any significant loss, and loss takes many forms.

I offer specialized grief therapy for the full spectrum of what grief can look like, including losses that are rarely named or acknowledged but are no less real.

What grief therapy addresses:

• Death and bereavement — the loss of a partner, parent, child, sibling, friend, or cherished relationship

• Anticipatory grief — grieving a loss that hasn't happened yet, such as a terminal diagnosis or a declining loved one

• Life not turning out as expected — the grief that comes when the life you imagined — in your career, relationships, family, or sense of self — hasn't materialized the way you hoped

• Grief over a life that felt harder than it should — loss of ease, innocence, safety, or possibility, often rooted in chronic illness, trauma, financial hardship, or family dysfunction

• Identity and role loss — grieving who you were before illness, divorce, career change, or becoming a caregiver

• Relationship loss without death — estrangement, divorce, friendship endings, or the slow fading of a relationship

• Reproductive and family grief — infertility, pregnancy loss, the choice not to have children, or the family you wished you'd had

• Disenfranchised grief — losses that others don't recognize or validate, leaving you feeling alone in your pain
