Serving Washington via telehealth (WA licensed). I’m based in Eastern Time and offer WA-friendly morning appointments in Pacific Time. Working with me is structured, focused, and practical. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with clear takeaways you can apply between appointments. I balance warmth with directness. I will validate your experience, and I will also help you identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck — especially perfectionism, overthinking, and pressure to constantly perform. I integrate education about stress physiology, sleep, and nervous system regulation so you understand not just what you’re feeling, but why. The goal is not long-term dependency. It’s helping you build steadiness, internal confidence, and sustainable coping skills so you can function well in demanding environments.

One of the biggest barriers I see today is normalization of chronic stress. Many high-performing individuals minimize their symptoms because they are still functioning — working, parenting, achieving. They assume that if they’re not in crisis, they should be able to manage on their own. Another barrier is the belief that therapy must be long-term or open-ended. Many professionals hesitate to seek care because they worry about the time commitment or emotional intensity. In reality, structured, goal-oriented care can be focused and practical. Seeking support doesn’t mean something is “wrong.” It can be a proactive decision to stabilize stress, improve sleep, and prevent burnout before it escalates.

Many of the women I work with are highly capable and externally successful, which can make their internal distress less visible. Because they are still functioning at a high level, their anxiety, sleep disruption, and burnout are often minimized — by others and by themselves. A unique challenge in this population is the normalization of chronic stress. Overthinking, constant performance pressure, and difficulty turning the mind “off” are often seen as part of being ambitious or responsible. Over time, however, this pattern impacts both mental and physical health — including sleep, mood stability, and stress-related symptoms. Another issue is information overload. Many high-performing women are well-read and self-aware, but struggle to translate insight into consistent behavioral change. Structured, skills-based care that integrates stress physiology and lifestyle factors is often more effective than open-ended processing alone. Treatment in this area requires clarity, efficiency, and a focus on building internal steadiness rather than reinforcing performance-driven identity.
