Therapy for High-Functioning Adults Navigating ADHD, Trauma, Anxiety, and Relationship Distress You may appear capable, accomplished, and composed while privately feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or unable to quiet your mind. Perhaps you are successful in many areas of life but struggle with anxiety, ADHD-related difficulties, trauma responses, relationship conflict, or a persistent sense that you are not functioning as well as others believe. I work with high-functioning adults and couples who are insightful and motivated but continue to feel stuck in patterns they cannot simply think their way out of. You may understand why you react the way you do and still find yourself becoming anxious, shutting down, overthinking, procrastinating, losing focus, becoming emotionally flooded, or repeating the same painful relationship dynamics. Who I Help I work with adults experiencing: ADHD, executive-functioning difficulties, procrastination, and emotional overwhelm Anxiety, perfectionism, overthinking, and chronic self-pressure PTSD, developmental trauma, and unresolved childhood experiences Relationship anxiety, attachment wounds, and fear of abandonment Emotional disconnection, burnout, and difficulty identifying personal needs Family expectations, cultural pressures, and people-pleasing Major life, career, or identity transitions I also work with couples who may care deeply for one another but feel caught in recurring cycles of conflict, defensiveness, withdrawal, resentment, or emotional distance. Couples therapy can help you understand the pattern underneath the argument, communicate more safely, and rebuild trust and emotional connection.
My style is warm, active, direct, and collaborative. Therapy with me is not limited to discussing what happened during the week. Together, we examine the emotional, relational, and nervous-system patterns influencing how you respond to stress, intimacy, conflict, responsibility, and uncertainty. I integrate somatic and trauma-informed therapy with attachment-based work, depth-oriented exploration, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and practical strategies for ADHD and anxiety. We may explore your history while also paying close attention to what is happening in your body, relationships, thoughts, and emotional responses in the present. For clients with ADHD, our work may include reducing shame, understanding executive-functioning challenges, improving emotional regulation, and developing realistic systems that work with your brain rather than against it. For clients with PTSD or developmental trauma, we focus on creating safety, understanding protective responses, and helping the nervous system recognize that the present is different from the past. For couples, we identify the recurring cycle that takes over during conflict and help each partner express underlying needs without blame, avoidance, or escalation.
You will not be expected to arrive with the perfect words or a clearly defined goal. We will work together to understand what is happening beneath the surface and determine what would create meaningful change. You remain in charge of the direction and pace of therapy. I may gently challenge patterns that are no longer serving you, but the work is grounded in respect, collaboration, and emotional safety. My goal is not to make you dependent on therapy. It is to help you develop greater self-trust, emotional regulation, relational clarity, and the ability to respond to your life with more freedom and intention. Being high-functioning does not mean you are not struggling. You deserve support before everything falls apart. I provide telehealth psychotherapy throughout California and limited in-person services in San Francisco. I accept Kaiser NorCal clients through Grow Therapy and also offer private-pay individual and couples therapy.
My approach to therapy is not centered on keeping clients in treatment indefinitely. Instead, the work we do together is purposeful, thoughtful, and intended to support meaningful, lasting change. You remain an active and empowered participant in your process as we explore underlying patterns within the subconscious and bring greater clarity to your core needs. I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities, integrating both evidence-based and experiential approaches to best support you as an individual. Each session is tailored with care to align with your unique goals and experiences. An important part of this work is fostering a sense of autonomy; therapy is meant to support your growth and independence, rather than create reliance. At times, you may notice moments of emotional activation as we gently explore deeper material—this is a natural and supported part of the process. This work is largely experiential and somatic in nature, moving beyond traditional talk therapy to thoughtfully engage both the mind and body in the healing process.

The work we do in this therapeutic space is strong and moving. Currently, I am taking clients who are committed to taking on this challenge, want to have fun and laugh along the way. I process from a Jungian analytical perspective, while using integrative styles, such as combining somatic body work with CBT, DBT for emotional regulation and couples work.
We conceptualize and process through a Jungian lens for case conceptualization, mostly healing from an inner child perspective. From there, we allow you to process what you're experiencing, hold space, and challenge your core beliefs. By the end of the session, you feel more grounded, at peace, and confident in yourself.
After having worked in a DBT lab, we have created an integrative mindfulness step that has helped hundreds of clients in self-soothing as they process their unmanageable emotions.
The way I approach Somatic is a combination of EMDR and Somatic Therapy. Our body keeps score, we all know that. We first do that by helping your learn how to ground yourself inside your body rather than escaping it. The next steps are learning how to listen to the different parts of yourself through different sensations. This body-centric approach works by helping to release stress, tension, and trauma from the body
