TARGETED, DEPTH-ORIENTED THERAPY

Anxiety in High Achievers

Do you find yourself immersed in the demanding world of professional success, struggling under the persistent weight of work, yet hesitant to slow down? You're in good company.

On paper, everything in your life looks beautiful. You have checked all the boxes, and it appears easy and flawless to others. You have it all, which should feel amazing.  Deep down, though, you’re harried, stressed, close to burnout, and oh so tired.

You long to take a deep breath, to explore and create identities outside your established roles, but you don’t have time to think about anything else. There’s a lot riding on your shoulders, with little margin for error.

Therapy isn't about changing who you are; it's about cultivating what matters

Right now, you're in the thick of it, juggling the relentless demands of your high-powered life. To successfully navigate the chaos and find your way back to a more balanced and authentic version of yourself, you need answers and results. Therapy will get you there. 


Together, we will navigate the different challenges you’re facing by helping you understand and manage the burnout that lurks beneath the surface. Using strength-based strategies and practical skills you can use immediately, we’ll breathe through the stress and get clear on your values. It's not about changing who you are or quitting your life; it's about discovering and reclaiming a more balanced, authentic version of yourself. Therapy is your space to untangle, breathe, and regain control so you can show up successfully.  By doing so, you’ll continue being the exception to the rule.

THE PROCESS OF THERAPY

How We’ll Work Together

Schedule a Consultation

To ensure goodness of fit, schedule a free 15-minute video or phone consultation. During this call, we’ll discuss what you’d like to explore in therapy and how I can support you in this journey, including the results you’re hoping to see and logistics.

Initial Appointment

During our first session, we’ll spend 60-70 minutes talking about what has led you to therapy. This session often feels like a thorough but informal interview. I’ll listen deeply to discern your needs and preferences.

Ongoing Sessions

For the first month of therapy, weekly sessions are the norm. We’ll collaborate on goals and plans to achieve results based on what matters most to you. We’ll identify potential barriers and implement strategies to conquer them. Most importantly, I’ll hold space for you to rest, heal, and grow.

  • I am a collaborative therapist, so you’ll find I’m curious about your thoughts, feelings, and feedback. I know how important your career is to you and will not ask you to quit your day job. I will empower you to set the goals and pace for our progress. I recognize that your time is valuable, so we will use it wisely.

  • Trust your instincts. Research consistently underscores that the key factor influencing therapy success is the client's comfort with their therapist. If a situation or dynamic doesn't sit well with you, it's important not to dismiss those feelings. Most clients intuitively sense compatibility with their therapist by resonating with a therapist’s words and approach during sessions. Your well-being is a priority, and a good therapeutic alliance should naturally foster a sense of safety and comfort. If it’s not working, I will graciously refer you to someone who might be a better fit.
