About My Clients
I work with high performers: executives, founders, and accomplished professionals who look fine on paper and feel depleted behind it. Some arrive burned out, anxious, or stretched thin at home. Others aren't in crisis at all — they simply want to sharpen how they show up as a partner, parent, and professional. I see individuals and couples, ages 18 to 65+, by secure video across 40 states. If you're used to meeting everyone else's expectations, this is where you reset your own.
My Background and Approach
I've spent more than 16 years helping people get to the root of what's driving their stress rather than treating one symptom. I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from The College of William & Mary and completed my internship and residency at Vanderbilt University, where I later served as a staff psychologist. I've also worked with veterans through the VA and served as an expert for NBC's Today Show. My approach is direct by design. Most high performers don't need years of open-ended conversation — they need someone who understands how they think and isn't afraid to name what's getting in the way. We start with a whole-person assessment: sleep, nutrition, energy, relationships, family history, and the pressures of your work. From there I draw on evidence-based methods, including CBT and ACT, to build a practical plan that fits your priorities. Most clients leave each session with something they can use that same week, and the results show up in your career and your home life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I'm not much for labels or platforms, so I'll keep this simple: I believe every person who sits across from me deserves respect, dignity, and my full attention — whatever their background, identity, faith, or politics. Over 16 years I've worked with veterans, executives, students, and couples from every walk of life. What they've had in common isn't a demographic. It's wanting an honest conversation with someone who won't judge them and won't waste their time. A few things I believe: Telling the truth, kindly, is a form of respect. Asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. People are more than the worst thing that's happened to them. Hard work matters, but so does knowing what you're working for. And therapy works best when you're treated as an individual, not a category. You don't have to share my views, and I don't need you to. My job is to understand yours, challenge you when it helps, and be in your corner while you build a life you're proud of. Whoever you are, welcome.
