You're good at your job. You show up, you perform, and you get things done. But somewhere along the way the pressure started adding up — and now stress, burnout, or something harder to name is getting in the way.

I work with athletes, high achievers, and people navigating trauma and high-stakes stress. My clinical practice is grounded in over two decades of experience as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor — and shaped by work that most therapists never encounter: building and leading one of California's first behavioral threat management programs, responding to critical incidents, and consulting with organizations on crisis response and workplace trauma.
When you're a first responder, a professional in a high-pressure field, or an athlete carrying real weight, you need a therapist who understands what that actually demands, not just clinically, but from the inside.
My approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindful Self-Compassion, practical, evidence-based methods that work especially well for high achievers who are more comfortable pushing through than slowing down. I also offer trauma-focused therapy for people who need it.
I offer in-person sessions in San Diego and virtual sessions throughout California. I offer a free 15-minute consultation.
I work with athletes, professionals, and people carrying the weight of high-stakes work — including those who have experienced trauma, crisis, or the kind of stress that builds quietly for a long time.
College, D1, and professional athletes, and high school athletes preparing for the next level. Mental health and performance are not separate. I work with both.
Engineers, executives, and people who have been pushing through for too long. If your work demands everything and you're starting to feel it, this is the right place.
You carry the emotional weight of work that others don't see. I understand what that demands and offer support that meets you where you actually are.
Including workplace trauma, critical incidents, and crisis exposure. My background in behavioral threat assessment and organizational crisis response informs how I work with clients in high-stakes situations.
