You don’t need more awareness. You need change.

A Walnut Creek therapist for individuals and couples working through high-functioning anxiety, burnout, relationship issues, high-achievement stress, and identity.

You’re high-functioning, but the same issues keep showing up in your relationships, your work, or how you see yourself.

On the outside you’re managing. Underneath, there’s anxiety, pressure, or a low-grade burnout that rest doesn’t fix.

You’re used to being the capable one, and you’re starting to notice what perfectionism and constant pressure are costing you.

You want more than a space to process, you want a structured, engaged approach that creates real and lasting change.

Therapy that goes beyond insight.

My approach is active and genuinely integrative. We work at the level of the nervous system, early experience, relational dynamics, and identity. Not one at a time. All of it together because that’s how it operates in real time.

I draw from somatic therapy, relational and attachment work, Enneagram-informed frameworks, and existential approaches to understand not just what you do, but why it persists and how to change it.

Fit Note: This work is not designed for short-term crisis support or stabilization. It’s designed for deep, lasting change.
