Professionals & High Achievers
With 18 years of experience in mental health and firsthand knowledge of the unique challenges professionals face, I understand the toll high-pressure environments can take. My journey through burnout led me to transform limiting beliefs into empowering ones, and now, I'm passionate about helping you do the same. Whether you're a corporate professional, executive, medical professional, therapist, or healer, your high achievement and goal orientation can contribute to high-functioning anxiety and burnout. Together, we'll manage these challenges and leverage your skills to sustain your success while enhancing your well-being. My personal experience and professional expertise uniquely position me to guide you on this journey, turning your strengths into tools for a healthier, more satisfying life.

Therapy for..
Anxiety & Burnout
Many of my clients seek therapy for anxiety and burnout because these issues significantly disrupt their daily lives and well-being. Anxiety can manifest as panic attacks, social anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and avoidance behaviors, affecting work, relationships, and intimate moments. Ongoing and untreated stress and anxiety can lead to burnout. My therapy focuses on stress and burnout recovery, helping high-achieving individuals, who often appear to have it all together, but internally feel exhausted, self-doubtful, and cynical. I help clients redefine work-life balance without guilt, regain control, and choose joy, turning burnout into a manageable challenge rather than a permanent state.
Therapy for..
Self Esteem & Deeper Healing
Our therapy services are designed to help individuals build self-worth and address underlying issues impacting their well-being, such as low self-esteem and unhealed trauma. Signs you might need therapy include persistent feelings of worthlessness, fear of judgment, difficulty asserting yourself, and emotional distress. Therapy can help you develop a positive self-image, heal past trauma, improve relationships, manage emotions, and enhance overall well-being. Despite outward success, the internal battle with self-worth can be debilitating, but therapy can unlock a healthier, more fulfilling life.
Specialized Treatment...
Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy
Unlock profound healing and rapid relief from anxiety, depression, and trauma with our innovative Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. This cutting-edge treatment transforms your mental health journey by affecting the brain's glutamate system, crucial for mood regulation and neural connectivity. In a controlled therapeutic setting, ketamine helps achieve breakthroughs that might not be possible with traditional therapy alone.
​
Our process involves:
-
Medical Evaluation: Comprehensive evaluations by our partners at Journey Clinical determine if ketamine is suitable for you.
-
Administration of Ketamine: Under medical supervision, ketamine is administered safely. Dosage and method (intravenous or intramuscular) are tailored to your needs.
-
Therapeutic Session: During the ketamine experience, I guide you through a psychotherapy session to explore deep-seated issues and facilitate profound healing.
-
Integration: Post-session, we process insights gained and apply them to your ongoing therapeutic journey.
​
Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy has shown remarkable efficacy in treating:
-
Anxiety: Reduces hyperactivity in the brain's fear centers, alleviating anxiety symptoms.
-
Depression: Rapidly improves mood and reduces depressive symptoms, often when other treatments have failed.
-
Trauma: Creates a safe psychological distance from traumatic memories, aiding in processing and healing.
​
To ensure the highest standard of care, I've partnered with Journey Clinical, whose medical professionals manage all aspects of ketamine treatment, allowing me to focus on delivering transformative psychotherapy.
