Specialized Psychotherapy & Systemic Consulting

Bridging neurobiological insight with a warm, clinical sanctuary.

Whether you are commanding a medical team, navigating high-stakes corporate strategy, managing a complex home structure, or quietly wrestling with the heavy weight of everyday anxiety and depression—the common thread is a nervous system under pressure.

My practice is built on a foundational framework of onboarding advanced emotion regulation skills. By integrating clinical expertise with neurobiological insight, I help high-performance professionals, parents, and individuals down-regulate chronic hyper-vigilance, heal systemic burnout, and give you the skills to bring your prefrontal cortex back online.

Together, we work to step out of survival mode—giving you the psychological tools to manage painful symptoms, cultivate emotional resilience, and confidently make choices in alignment with a life well lived.

"IQ and technical skills are important, but emotional intelligence is the sine qua non of leadership.”

Daniel Goleman, What Makes a Leader

A Bit About Therapy

Emotion Regulation for Every Season of Life

Whatever brings you here — anxiety, a relationship under strain, a life transition, grief, or simply the sense that you’ve been running on empty — you are welcome here.

Kindness, warmth, and compassionate, clinically grounded support are what I offer every client. My work is built on emotion regulation: helping you steady your nervous system, see what’s happening more clearly, and make choices aligned with your values and a life well lived.

I offer individual, couples, and family therapy, online and in person.

I also bring specialized experience to three groups who often carry more than they let on:

• Physicians & Healthcare Leaders: Peer-level support from a physician-turned-therapist for burnout, moral injury, litigation stress, and the weight of medicine.

• Corporate & Tech Executives: A private space to address chronic stress, decision fatigue, and the gap between how things look and how they feel.

• Home Executives a.k.a. Parents: Running a household is executive-level work. I offer concrete emotion regulation and co-regulation tools to help you stay steady for your children — and yourself.

Whoever you are and whatever you’re carrying, my hope is to offer a warm, welcoming space where you can set it down and find your way back to yourself.

Physicians & Healthcare Leaders

Care from Someone Who Understands Medicine from the Inside

The 15-minute visits. The inbox that never empties. Notes finished at midnight so you could be present for bedtime. Patients who arrive with an internet diagnosis, a system that measures you in metrics — and then asks why you’re burned out. The quiet, constant fear of missing something. Peer-level therapy from a physician-turned-therapist, for everything medicine asks of you that no one sees.

Corporate & Tech Executives

Resilience for the People Others Look To

The decisions that can’t wait. The calendar that owns you. Being “on” for the board, the team, the investors — and still trying to make it home for dinner. The pressure to look certain when you’re not, and the loneliness of having no one to say that to. A private space to set it down, steady your nervous system, and lead from a clearer place.
