For people who carry responsibility and want a place to think clearly again
You're capable, thoughtful, and often the one others rely on. But the work has shifted. It has begun to feel misaligned, internally costly in ways that are hard to name.
I work with healthcare professionals and leaders navigating burnout, moral injury, and changes in identity or self-trust. My approach draws on psychotherapy, mindfulness practice, and research on how people develop identity under competing demands.
This is a space to slow down, reflect, and make sense of what you've been carrying.
Many people reach out while still functioning well but noticing that decision-making feels heavier, clarity comes less easily, or something essential has begun to shift.
Who I Work With
I work with thoughtful, capable people who carry significant responsibility and have spent years being reliable for others.
My practice centers on healthcare professionals and leaders—physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, healthcare executives, and clinical directors. I also work with people in other mission-driven roles such as education, nonprofit leadership, and public service who recognize these experiences of sustained responsibility and ethical complexity.
Many clients sense their work has begun to carry an internal cost. They are often deeply committed to their patients, teams, or organizations while navigating complex systems, ethical tensions, and expectations that leave little space for reflection.
The people who find this work most helpful are often continuing to meet their responsibilities while noticing shifts in clarity, identity, or self-trust. They may sense a quiet drift in how they relate to their work and role.
If you're looking for a grounded, reflective space to make sense of what you've been carrying and reconnect with your values and sense of self, this work may be a good fit.
How Therapy Works
Therapy with me is grounded, collaborative, and steady. It is a space where you can set down the need to hold everything together and approach your experience at a thoughtful, deliberate pace. Rather than rushing toward solutions, the work creates room for reflection, clarity, and integration as understanding unfolds over time.
This work centers on moving from performance to presence—reconnecting with your values and sense of self after years of prioritizing external demands.
My approach integrates evidence-based psychotherapy with mindfulness practice and is informed by research on identity development under pressure. I am trained to hold complexity, listen deeply to what is present and what is unspoken, and support a return to embodied presence.
Many people I work with have adapted to years of sustained responsibility. Our work makes space to slow down, recognize patterns, explore identity and meaning, and attend to how the body, nervous system, and inner life have responded over time.
As therapy progresses, understanding often becomes more integrated. Thoughts, emotions, bodily responses, and values can be held together rather than kept separate. Clients often describe feeling more grounded in what matters to them and better able to move through their lives with steadiness and clarity.
Services
Individual Therapy
I offer individual psychotherapy for healthcare professionals and leaders who are ready to engage in sustained, reflective work.
Rather than approaching distress as something to manage, this work focuses on understanding how responsibility, role, and expectations have shaped who you've become and your relationship to your work. Therapy invites inquiry into what has been carried over time, allowing clarity, coherence, and self-trust to emerge.

About Me
I am a licensed psychologist with over seventeen years of experience working in healthcare as both a clinician and a leader. My background includes outpatient behavioral health, inpatient medical-psychiatric care, leadership roles within a large healthcare system, and earlier work in pharmaceutical and medical device companies.
I spent years in healthcare leadership asking a quiet question:
How do I reconnect with myself after years of being who the system needed?
Many of the people I work with are asking versions of this same question—often quietly, and often while continuing to carry significant responsibility. This work grew from taking that question seriously over time. If you're asking it too, we may be a good fit.
My training includes doctoral research examining how people navigate competing expectations and develop identity under pressure, along with certification as a mindfulness meditation teacher. These inform how I work: holding complexity, listening deeply, and supporting a return to embodied presence.
In my work, I bring a steady, reflective presence grounded in both psychotherapy and mindfulness practice. I am trained in deep listening—to what is being said, what is left unspoken, and what has been carried for so long it no longer has words.
This approach integrates psychological insight with embodied awareness. Many clients describe the work as helping them hold thoughts, emotions, bodily responses, and values together rather than keeping them separate. The movement is from fragmentation to integration, and from performance to presence.
This work is for people who are willing to engage in sustained reflection, even when clarity doesn't come quickly. My role is to offer a space where coherence and embodied understanding can develop at a sustainable pace.
I provide psychotherapy via telehealth to clients throughout California who are ready to slow down, reflect deeply, and reconnect with what matters most.
I am an active member of the California Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association.
