You spent years proving you could jump when asked, but now you’re wondering why you feel so weighed down.
You’ve built a career through hard work, intelligence, and responsibility. You know how to get things done, lead teams, and hit targets. But lately, it’s too much…or sometimes a bit monotonous.
Maybe your days are overfull but undernourishing. You show up for your job and your responsibilities, but struggle to be truly present at home. You find yourself irritable or detached from your partner, your kids, or your team, often saying things or reacting in ways you’re not proud of. You’re distracted during downtime…but exhausted during work. Despite working so hard to get here, no facet of life—not your home, not your career, not your relationships—feels the way you thought it would.
All of this has left you wondering if this is just what it means to succeed.
You don’t have to keep living on autopilot.
MY APPROACH
Many of the professionals I work with arrive at therapy with a common theme: they’ve lost touch with themselves in the pursuit of being effective.
Many are overwhelmed by the leadership roles they worked hard to earn, and others feel boxed in by a version of success that no longer feels meaningful.
Others struggle with boundaries, overwork, or the inability to switch off—even when they know it’s hurting their well-being and relationships.
If you’re a high-performing executive, small business owner, or mid-career professional trying to reconnect with what actually matters to you, therapy can help you stop running on autopilot and start moving with intention again.
Together, we’ll take an honest look at what’s working and what’s costing you.
We’ll name the internal patterns driving burnout, self-doubt, or over-responsibility, and start to disentangle them from your identity. Some of these patterns can look like the fear of letting people down, a long-standing discomfort with uncertainty, or a learned belief that rest is weakness. We’ll surface what’s been running the show and explore new ways to respond.
It’s important to make clear that this work isn’t about abandoning ambition. It’s about redefining what it means to do meaningful work and live a life you actually recognize yourself in. The goal isn’t to be less driven, it’s to be less driven by uncertainty. Ultimately, you need a space for reflection—one that helps you feel grounded, more intentional, and more at home in your own decisions. That’s what this space is for.
WHAT YOU CAN GAIN:
A deeper understanding of your patterns—and how to work with them, not against them
More self-respect and less self-judgment
Realistic tools to manage internal pressure, procrastination, and emotional reactivity
The ability to set boundaries and speak up for what you need—at work and at home
Confidence that isn’t tied to performance or external validation
A renewed sense of direction in your career and personal life
More presence and energy for the people and parts of life that matter most
Clarity about what you actually want and permission to pursue it
Take a real, courageous step toward meaningful change—the kind that doesn’t come from another promotion or pushing through.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Therapy goes deeper. Coaching can be action-oriented and goal-driven (which has its place), but therapy helps you understand why certain patterns keep repeating, even when you “know better.” This experience blends both insight and action—offering both thoughtful reflection and support in translating those insights into meaningful change.
-
That’s more common than you’d think, especially among high achievers. Many of the professionals I work with carry the fear that they’re not as competent as they appear, or that they’ve somehow faked their way into their role. In therapy, we explore where that narrative comes from and how it’s shaped your relationship to success, self-worth, and risk. Over time, we work to replace self-doubt with grounded self-trust—so confidence isn’t just performative, but actually felt.

Yes, for many clients it’s often both. You might come in because work is hard—but we’ll likely find that some of the same dynamics are showing up in other areas, too. You don’t need to have it all figured out. My job is to help you make connections and find solutions at a pace that works for you.
-
That’s understandable and you’re not alone in feeling that way. Many of my clients come in with a clear sense of what’s not working, but feel lost when it comes to what would feel better. Part of our work is reconnecting with what feels personally meaningful—not just what’s expected or practical.
