Individual Therapy
Anxiety & OCD
You know the spiral. You have tried to think your way out of it and it hasn't worked, because anxiety lives in the body and the nervous system, not just the mind. We work at both levels: practical tools for real relief and genuine understanding of what is driving it underneath.
If you have wondered whether what you are experiencing might be OCD, that question is worth taking seriously. OCD is frequently misunderstood and underdiagnosed in high-functioning adults and often looks nothing like the textbook picture. I use OCD-informed approaches and can help you figure out what you are actually dealing with and what kind of treatment fits.
Intensives —
Some people want to go deeper faster. If you are in the middle of something acute, navigating a major transition, or want to compress meaningful work into a concentrated period of time, an intensive may be a good fit.
Intensives are extended sessions, typically a half day or full day, designed to go further than a standard weekly session allows. They are available for individuals and can be structured around a specific focus or used as a way to begin or accelerate the therapeutic process.
If you are interested in an intensive, mention it when you reach out and we can talk through whether it makes sense for where you are.
Perfectionism
Perfectionism is not the problem. The ability to see how something is, how it could be even better, and the drive to close that gap is a genuine strength. It is probably the reason you have gotten as far as you have.
The problem is when that same instinct turns inward and the standard keeps moving no matter what you do. When the drive that makes you excellent at work makes it impossible to rest or feel satisfied. We look at where that line is for you, and what it would take to have the strength without the weight of it.
ADHD & Executive Functioning
Many high-functioning adults have spent years white-knuckling through deficits in focus, time management, memory, and the ability to be still, without ever having a name for it.
If you find yourself constantly in motion, struggling to finish what you started, forgetting things you care about, or needing stimulation to feel regulated, that is worth exploring. ADHD in adults, particularly high-achieving adults, often looks nothing like the textbook picture. I can help you figure out what you are actually dealing with and how to work with your brain rather than against it.
The Details —
The first few sessions are about understanding what is happening and what you actually want to change. Not what you think you should want. What you actually want.
Individual sessions are $250. Sessions are 50 minutes and held via telehealth throughout California.
I do not accept insurance. I am happy to provide a superbill for potential out-of-network reimbursement.
I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can get a sense of fit before committing to working together.
No one looking at your life from the outside would think you were struggling. By most accounts you are functioning, maybe even thriving. You show up, you perform, you hold it together.
But you might feel like a duck on the water. Smooth on the surface, legs moving fast underneath.
Something is off in a way that is hard to name and harder to ignore. Maybe it is the relationship that looks fine from the outside but feels like work from the inside. Maybe it is the question you keep pushing down that keeps coming back up. Maybe it is the exhaustion of being the one who holds it together for everyone else.
You have probably already tried to think your way through it. You are good at that. It hasn't been enough. That gap, between understanding yourself and actually changing, is where this work lives.
My clients tend to be self-aware, motivated adults who have often already done some personal growth work. They come not because they are falling apart but because they are ready to stop cycling through the same patterns and actually do something different. Many are queer adults navigating identity, intimacy, and the particular kind of grief that comes with realizing a life was built around a version of themselves that no longer fits. Others are in the middle of something major: a divorce, a coming out, a relationship restructuring, a career that lost its meaning.
What they share is this: they are done managing and ready to change.
Clients get the most out of this work when we meet weekly, at least in the beginning. That consistency is what allows real momentum to build.
Identity & Life Transitions
You are figuring out who you are, who you want to be, or how to build a life that actually fits. Maybe that process has a name and maybe it doesn't yet. Either way, therapy offers a space to do that work without having to justify or explain yourself along the way.
This is the work I know most deeply. If you are queer, questioning, navigating a coming out later in life, or restructuring a life that was built around someone you were pretending to be, you are in the right place.
Relationships & Attachment
Something keeps showing up across your relationships and you can't quite name it. You work hard in your relationships. You give a lot. And you still end up feeling unseen, or alone, or like you are managing rather than connecting.
We look at where those patterns come from, how your history shaped the way you attach and protect yourself, and what it would take to actually change them rather than just understand them.
