Modern Professionals

Are you a professional dealing with work/life demands? Are you navigating a high pressure career with demanding productivity and outcome expectations?

I specialize in working with healthcare professionals, business executives, attorneys, and entrepreneurs. Whether you’re engaged in medical or clinical care of others, own your own small business, or are the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, I can help.

I am familiar with the stressors that high performing professionals face and can provide insight, guidance, and solution focused strategies to manage your stress. I can provide you with valuable tools to help you find ease in your daily routine, to create the space you need for your personal and family life, and to bring a greater degree of satisfaction within your work world.

I recognize that stress is not the only reason successful people seek help. You are likely successful because you are driven and motivated. You know what you want and how to achieve it. You are focused, determined, and passionate. But success doesn’t mean you are immune to depression, marital and parenting issues, or any of the other reasons people pursue therapy. In addition to the more common problems that often lead an individual to seek professional help, other issues are more specific to professional populations-including clinical burn out, imposter syndrome, fear of failure, alienation, and perfectionism.

Some of the most common problems that I help professionals navigate include:

  • Managing stress and high productivity environments
  • Clinical burn out and imposter syndrome
  • Chronic high stress
  • Career dissatisfaction
  • Career change
  • Over work/perfectionistic tendencies
  • Faulty coping mechanisms
  • Existential depression
  • Breakup, separation, or divorce
  • Job loss or major change in career

We may be a good fit if you are encountering any of the following:

  • Your career is going well but your relationships don’t feel as satisfying as you would like.
  • Your work life is stable, but you are searching for a primary relationship and are feeling isolated in that process.
  • You appear outwardly to have it together, but inside you struggle with mood challenges like depression or anxiety.
  • You are climbing the ladder at work but you keep encountering challenging interpersonal dynamics that inhibit your progress and enjoyment.
  • You've accomplished a great deal and have the external signs of success, but inside you feel empty or without purpose.
  • You know a great deal about how to advance your career and that comes naturally to you, but you aren’t sure how to manage difficult feelings when they come up at work or in your personal life.

Is it Time to Speak to Someone?

Sometimes we can handle change and adversity by ourselves and sometimes we need a little help. I’m here to lend that helping hand and offer a warm and encouraging environment where you can speak candidly and receive care, compassion and guidance.
