My dream client is a high-achieving individual seeking support in navigating the complexities of their personal and professional life. I thrive in working with executives and professionals who experience workplace stress, challenges with work-life balance, career transitions, imposter syndrome, and relational struggles. These individuals are driven, ambitious, and often carry a high level of responsibility, yet they may struggle with self-doubt, burnout, or difficulty maintaining fulfilling personal relationships. I also find great fulfillment in working with early career adults who are entering the workforce, starting their careers, transitioning to living independently, experiencing relationship issues, or making important life decisions. Many of these clients face uncertainty, stress, and difficulty coping with transitions as they establish their personal and professional identity and navigate new responsibilities. I help them build confidence, develop resilience, and cultivate a sense of purpose as they move forward in their careers and personal lives. My ideal client is motivated for change and open to self-exploration. Whether they are an executive striving for balance or a young professional seeking direction, I provide a tailored, integrative approach to help them develop clarity, confidence, and emotional well-being.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, my primary focus is understanding why you have sought therapy and how I can use my skills and experience to help you. This session serves as both an introduction and the beginning of meaningful work. While we will spend time getting to know each other and clarifying your goals, you can also expect to receive a true therapy session from the start—something valuable that you can take away immediately. The first session will feel more structured than future sessions, as I will ask you to share about your history and background, current challenges, symptoms, what you hope to achieve in therapy, and your broader personal or professional goals. We will begin the process of goal setting, ensuring that our work is intentional and aligned with what you need. I approach therapy as a partnership where we both invest in your goals and outcomes. Together, we will establish the rhythm, flow, and structure of our work, including session frequency, timing, and the overall trajectory of therapy. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative, and productive space where you feel heard, understood, and equipped with tools to begin making meaningful progress from day one.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

What makes me a great therapist is my ability to deeply understand and connect with my clients, helping them navigate the complexities of their personal and professional lives. I don’t just listen—I engage, offer insight, and help clients make tangible progress from day one. My goal is to ensure that every session provides value, helping clients gain clarity, build confidence, and cultivate the resilience needed to thrive. I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership, where we both invest in the goals and outcomes. My style is direct yet compassionate—I create a space where clients feel both supported and challenged in ways that foster meaningful growth. I tailor my approach to each individual, integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities to meet their unique needs. Clients appreciate that I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, I work with them to develop strategies that are relevant and immediately applicable to their lives.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

My experience in executive roles has uniquely equipped me to serve high-achieving professionals, executives, and early career adults as they navigate the complexities of career demands, life transitions, and personal growth. As a clinical psychologist who has built a career in high-level executive roles, I understand firsthand the pressures of leadership, the challenges of maintaining work-life balance, the stress of life and career transitions, and the emotional toll of high-stakes decision-making. This unique combination of clinical expertise and executive experience allows me to connect deeply with my clients, providing both psychological insight and practical strategies tailored to their realities.
