You’ve built a successful career. You’re driven, capable, and others rely on you. But behind the achievements, you may be carrying stress, self-doubt, or the weight of constant expectations. Many high-achieving professionals physicians, attorneys, executives, academics, and entrepreneurs find themselves excelling on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or unfulfilled on the inside.For working parents, the pressure can feel even greater balancing long hours, parenting responsibilities, and personal relationships often leaves little time for rest or self-care. The constant demand to “do it all” can lead to burnout, guilt, and the sense that you’re always falling short somewhere, despite giving your all.

I specialize in helping ambitious, high-performing individuals and working parents reduce stress, strengthen relationships, and reconnect with what matters most.
