It probably won't surprise you, given how I think about the gap between the life you're living and the life that actually fits you, that I enjoy working with anxiety and depression — especially when it's tangled up with life transitions, relationships, acculturation, or identity.

But you don't need a diagnosis to do this work. I believe there's always something to tend to, some direction to grow toward. We're never going to be perfect, and that's not the goal — the goal is the striving itself, the ongoing act of becoming a more vibrant, more authentic version of yourself. I love helping increase one’s performance and have the mental clarity and edge, whatever that environment looks like: the boardroom, the classroom, the field, wherever.

Underneath all of this is a belief in finding the equilibrium that's truly yours — not a generic version of balance, but the one that fits your particular life. Lifestyle change is a significant piece of that. I find real fulfillment in helping people work through the mental barriers that stand between them and a healthier life — whether that means more movement, better sleep, or working toward a weight that feels right for them. So often, it's the underlying emotional struggle that makes these changes feel impossible; when we can clear that ground, the path toward wellness becomes so much easier to walk.

Therapy, at its best, is a space to grow into — a place to cultivate the version of yourself you've always envisioned living as.
