Who I Work With
High-functioning stress & burnout You're succeeding by most measures, but privately running on empty. We work on what's underneath the overdrive — not just managing it, but actually changing it.
Relationships & emotional patterns Repeating patterns you can't quite explain, intimacy that feels complicated, communication that breaks down under pressure. We look at how your history, culture, and conditioning shape the way you show up with others.
Identity & transitions Career pivots, leadership changes, midlife, major loss — sometimes success itself raises the hardest questions. This is the work that helps you find your footing again.
Multicultural & international clients Immigrants, expats, third-culture individuals — navigating identity, belonging, family expectation, and the exhaustion of code-switching. These aren't side issues. They're often at the center of everything.
What we work toward
Breaking the exhaustion cycle — getting out of the loop of depletion, brain fog, and anxiety for good, not just until the next crash.
Relationships that actually feel like connection — working on the patterns, boundaries, and communication that make the difference between managing people and genuinely being with them.
A quieter mind — less self-criticism, less rumination, less second-guessing. Not through coping strategies, but by addressing what's driving it.
Coming back to yourself — reconnecting with the parts of you that got set aside to keep functioning. Your ambitions, your feelings, your sense of who you actually are.
My Approach
I work psychodynamically, which means we pay attention to patterns — in how you think, relate, and operate — and trace them back to where they started. Understanding the "why" tends to be what makes change actually stick, rather than just managing symptoms. That said, insight alone isn't always enough. Where it's useful, I draw on CBT, EMDR, and mindfulness and somatic tools — not as a formula, but when they fit what you're working on. The goal is always to move from understanding something intellectually to feeling it shift. Sessions are collaborative. You bring what's on your mind, and we follow what's most alive in the room. There's no agenda to perform or present yourself in a particular way — just an honest look at what's actually going on.
Understanding the why — tracing patterns back to where they started, so change actually sticks.
Shifting what needs to shift — practical tools for processing what insight alone can't move.
Building something lasting — not just feeling better in the room, but operating differently outside of it.
What Happens in a Session?
There's no fixed structure or agenda. You bring what's on your mind — something that happened, a pattern you keep noticing, a decision you're turning over — and we work with it together. Some sessions are more reflective, tracing something back to understand it better. Others are more focused, working through something specific that's been building. Over time the two tend to inform each other — the insight starts to show up in how you actually operate. You don't need to arrive with the right words or a clear problem statement. The work usually starts wherever you are.
