You've spent your whole life being the capable one. It's time to feel that way, too.
I offer virtual, HIPAA-secured video therapy to individuals living in California and Illinois, and in-person sessions in West LA and Long Beach.
I did all the things, why am i so… miserable?
You've spent your whole life being the capable one. Accomplished, reliable, always taking the lead, aiming high. You've checked the boxes, climbed the ladder, shown up for everyone else. By every measure, your life looks like it's working. And yet… There's a voice that's never satisfied. Not good enough. Not doing enough. Your mind is always somewhere else, planning, anticipating, bracing for the next thing. Maybe you reach for something to take the edge off more than you'd like. You snap at people you love and wonder ‘What's wrong with me?’ You've worked hard, you've already overcome a lot in your life — you feel like you should be past this by now.
take back control of your energy & peace
You might be here because your life doesn’t feel the way it looks from the outside–but what if it could? If you want to stop living in ‘survival mode’ that may feel like it’s always been there, have the bandwidth to be present with your family and enjoy your life, take control of that perfectionist dial (it doesn’t have to be totally off!), rely less on wine to unwind, have more trusting, grounded relationships with a deep sense of believing you’re okay, and be able to actually relax into your free moments – I specialize in therapy that actually moves the needle.
EMDR can help
My approach focuses on addressing the anxiety that lives underneath the competence–the kind that doesn’t always show on the outside, that is sometimes the legacy of wounds from childhood — emotional neglect, criticism, or families where love had to be earned. One research-supported tool I use is EMDR, which helps your nervous system heal what words alone can't reach.
