Helping you feel less overwhelmed and reconnect with what matters most.
Helping you feel less overwhelmed and reconnect with what matters most.
People seek you out for your competence, expertise, and care.
On the outside, you appear composed and capable, but inside there’s a part of you that is unraveling.
Before your alarm even goes off, your mind is triaging the day: patient messages, unfinished charts, 127 emails that all feel urgent, a meeting you forgot about, a kid’s lunch you still haven’t packed, and the workout you meant to do (again). Lately you’re snapping at people you care about, zoning out mid-conversation, rereading the same paragraph three times, and wondering why everything feels so damn heavy.
You miss yourself. The focused, energized version of you who laughed at Farside comics, felt connected to the people you are serving, and actually enjoyed solving the complex problems you are an expert in. Now you’re overwhelmed, stretched thin, and quietly wondering if this flat, foggy, anxious version of you is here to stay.
It isn’t.
You’re not failing. You’re not broken.
You’re human.
I help high-achieving professionals, physicians, nurses, executives, entrepreneurs, and deeply responsible humans step out of the overwhelm and into clarity, calm, and meaning.
You’re not alone. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.
You’re not alone. You don’t have to keep carrying this alone.
You may be a physician, nurse, CPA, attorney, entrepreneur, or other high-achieving professional who has built your life on hard work and high standards. You’re proud of your accomplishments, but beneath the success a quiet, constant hum of anxiety and “am I good enough” that never seems to turn off.
You’ve tried powering through. Maybe you’ve tried gratitude or working out or maybe that podcast on mindfulness during your commute. But deep down, you know this isn’t sustainable. Something has to change.
You might be noticing:
Feeling overwhelmed by work demands or the endless inbox
Scrolling on your phone with no goal or purpose
Irritability, fatigue, or emotional numbness
A sense that no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough
Loss of motivation, direction, joy, or purpose
The nagging thought that you “should” be able to handle this

Change starts with slowing down enough to notice what you actually need.
Change starts with slowing down enough to notice what you actually need.
You want to feel grounded again. Present again. Like you can breathe without your chest tightening or your mind going blank. You want to have energy at the end of the day for your toddler, golden doodle (or frenchie, yes, I see you), your friendships, your creativity, your joy. You want to remember who you are outside of constant responsibility.
You want:
a quieter mind
a body that wants to take the stairs
to stop feeling guilty for not doing that “one more thing”
to not be crushed by your inbox
a life that feels like yours again
room for laughter, rest, connection, and actual pleasure
the permission to be imperfect and still be enough
This is possible. Truly.

Imagine what it would feel like to…
Imagine what it would feel like to…
Wake up with a calm, clear outlook and feel less dread about the day ahead
Feel more present and connected with the people you love
Take a real breath and not immediately reach for your phone whenever you have a free second
Actually laugh again, not just to be polite, but because you actually find something genuinely funny
Trust yourself to set limits, delegate, or simply say “no” without guilt
Remember what it feels like to feel in control and confident your life, not just on autopilot
You want your life to feel meaningful again, not just productive. You want to feel more like you.

Warm. Real. Grounded.
A place where you can be fully honest — not curated, not composed.
Warm. Real. Grounded.

over a decade of clinical expertise (CBT, trauma focused, somatic, relational, psychodynamic, attachment)
deep experience working with physicians, healthcare professionals, leaders, and others in high-achieving careers
understanding of high-stakes professions
humor when appropriate (because sometimes if we don’t laugh, we cry harder)
compassion that isn’t fluffy. It’s sturdy.
deep curiosity and humility that helps us get to what’s underneath
Why I do this work
Why I do this work
After more than a decade working with healthcare systems, leaders, founders, and medical teams, including holding leadership roles at OHSU and co-founding a and growing a mental health start-up to a national scale, I understand what this kind of pressure does to a person.
I’ve seen brilliant, dedicated, compassionate professionals quietly fall apart behind the scenes.
I’ve seen people lose themselves to their work, venture, dedication, work ethic, aspiration, and then fall hard.
I’ve seen how deeply high-achievers suffer (usually silently and alone) and how rarely they ask for help.
This work matters to me because you matter, and because I believe your well-being is worth protecting just as fiercely as your career, your patients, your team, or your business.
