You are a builder, a leader, and a doer. But underneath, the chronic worry and racing thoughts feel like a pot about to boil over. From sweaty palms before a board meeting to the late-night obsessing over work, it feels impossible to truly rest, relax, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
You can have both inner peace and high performance.
Chronic vigilance exhausts your mental and physical health. Therapy can help you sharpen and protect your most valuable asset: your own mind. Learn how to sustain your success without risking burnout.
How I Help
My style differs from other clinicians, not just because of my background, but because of the proactive role I take in sessions. While listening and silence are an essential component, I want my clients to know we are in this process together. I frequently speak up in session to ask my clients questions or comment with observations that will help them gain a deeper insight, and also specify their therapeutic needs. I reflect on each client’s individual needs, and provide education and actionable steps to propel progress forward. I can honestly say that I have never made the same recommendation twice as I believe in creating a treatment approach tailored not only to the individual but also to the specific moment being faced.
An individual blueprint tailored to your unique triggers.
I understand that no two people experience anxiety the same way and for the same reasons. There is no “one-size-fits-all” treatment for the high-pressure worlds you navigate. Your pain is specific, and your treatment needs to be as well.
We will pinpoint simple steps to improve your daily life.
From new routines to processing deep-seated triggers, we will develop a plan to permanently decrease your symptoms. Book a consult today and get the support you deserve.
Imagine responding to stressful situations with calm focus and intensity rather than frenzied and frantic busyness. You can learn to derail a developing anxiety attack before it starts. This restores the operational capacity you need to execute your vision with unshakeable precision.
We will develop specific techniques to help you feel calmer, connected, and in control of yourself. My collaborative process is designed to return the reins of your life back to you.
Untreated anxiety inevitably shrinks your life and health.
Occasional anxiety propels us into action, providing the focus needed for challenging situations. But chronic anxiety releases powerful stress hormones into your bloodstream, leaving you feeling “hungover” after a bad bout of it. If left untreated, it has devastating consequences for your career and your relationships.
Wherever you run, there you are.
You may find yourself wanting to avoid social dates or business deadlines to manage the panic. While avoidance brings short-term relief, it inevitably increases stress in the long run. Master these skills to rid yourself of the anxiety permanently.
Operationalize your internal signals.
Emotions are biological adaptations that serve a fundamental purpose for your survival. You can’t “logic” them away any more than the urge to eat or sleep. They are high-value data points that inform you about what is actually happening beneath the surface of your business and your life.
Leverage the data others ignore.
Even a petty reaction is a flicker illuminating a deeper need. By ignoring these signals, you miss the opportunity to understand your own mechanics. Refuse to lead a life of quiet desperation; start using your internal signals to lead with unshakeable presence.
Three tricks to leverage the link between anxiety and sleep.
You have probably lost sleep many nights tossing and turning with racing thoughts. Sleep deprivation actually worsens your anxiety, creating a vicious cycle of exhaustion. You can ease your anxiety by simply tweaking your bedtime routines.
Set a “power device” alarm one hour before bed.
Watching compelling shows or surfing the internet keeps your brain wired and losing track of time. Set a timer that snaps you out of the digital world and into your bedtime window. This simple boundary prevents emotional tailspins from social media or late-work emails.
Limit stimulants and alcohol to protect your rest.
Caffeine after 2pm and alcohol before bed fragment your sleep cycle and reduce sleep quality. Vigorous exercise also raises your body temperature when your body needs it to drop for rest. Stick to these rules to ensure your brain has the recovery time it needs.

As a therapist and an angel investor, I understand the high-pressure world you live in from the inside out. I work with ambitious people who are quietly struggling with the burden of carrying it all. My approach is honest, intuitive, and deeply grounded in real-world experience. I don’t just “listen”—I partner with you to solve the internal friction that is slowing you down.
I specialize in what I call the High-Achiever’s Contradiction: Statistics show that entrepreneurs and leaders struggle with mental health challenges at significantly higher rates than the general population, yet they are the least likely to seek professional support. Many arrive at my office convinced their anxiety is the only thing keeping them successful. Through our work, they discover that their drive doesn’t disappear—it just stopped being powered by fear. By installing a more resilient psychological infrastructure, they regain their sleep, their relationships, and their operational focus.
I prefer that clients do not rely on medication except in emergency situations where they cannot engage in life. Medication provides temporary relief, but it cannot teach you what triggers you or how to master your internal world. Developing these skills is the only way to resolve anxiety for good.
Expressing your feelings provides the opportunity to truly heal. Think of high-functioning anxiety like a splinter stuck underneath the skin. Removing it creates an immediate, sharp pain that allows the wound to finally heal. Leaving it in only ensures chronic suffering.
Most clients feel their daily anxiety levels decrease substantially within a few months of weekly consistency. While many feel calmer after our first meeting, building a permanent new foundation typically takes six months of work. The choice is yours: stay in the cycle of avoidance, or become fully engaged in your life.
Yes. I see clients at my main office in Roseville, CA, and maintain occasional in-person availability in Los Angeles and San Francisco. For high-achievers with demanding schedules, I also offer secure virtual sessions to ensure the work remains consistent regardless of your travel.
Ambitious people face unique pressures that general therapy often misses. My background allows me to speak your language and address the core reality that the traits driving your success are often the ones preventing you from seeking help. We focus on building the psychological infrastructure as strong as the empire you are building.
