​​​

Are you competent, capable, and outwardly successful? 

 

Yet, internally something feels strained - depleted, disconnected, or quietly unsustainable? Do you sense that, despite professional success, life feels incomplete—or that you are not as happy as you “should” be?

​

Many of the individuals and couples I work with are not in visible crisis. High performing individuals rarely present in visible crisis. They continue to function, lead, and endure. My practice is designed for professionals and partnerships operating under sustained pressure - physicians navigating moral injury, executives facing decision fatigue, ambitious couples experiencing emotional distance, and individuals carrying trauma beneath competence.

 

I offer structured, sophisticated, discreet, and depth-oriented psychological consultation for those prepared to examine the patterns beneath their performance. Engagements are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth. 

​

My areas of focus are:

​

•     Burnout and moral injury in medicine

•     Executive stress and decision fatigue

•     Trauma recovery

•     Attachment conflict and emotional withdrawal

•     Life transitions and caregiving strain

•     Identity across cultures, status and ambition 

• Infidelity and trust reconstruction 

 

I provide insight-oriented psychological consultation for:

• Physicians and health care leaders

• Executives and founders

• High-achieving professionals

• Dual-career couples

• Interracial and intercultural partnerships

Engagements are conducted via secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth.

My approach to healing My approach combines:

​

    •    Depth Insight: understanding how early experiences shape present patterns

    •    Strategic Intervention: practical tools calibrated to complex lives. 

    •    Cultural Intelligence: honoring identity, power and social context

    •    Relational precision: strengthening emotional attunement and communication

 

A Multicultural and Inclusive Practice My work is deeply informed by years of interviewing and supporting diverse individuals, interracial couples, and minority families. I understand how social, cultural, and family dynamics affect mental health. Psychological consults with me occur in a space where all identities are respected—whether you are navigating issues related to race, sexuality, religion, or gender identity.

​

I combine strategy and insight to help you develop greater access to yourself, boost your self-awareness as well as listen better to others and enhance your positive emotional connectivity with others. What is the life you want? What does 'meaningful' mean to you?...in therapy these are only some questions you begin to reflect on, to create a compass for your future decisions by connecting the dots from your past. I create an atmosphere that is nonjudgmental, private, and sensitive that allows for deep introspection.​

​

What My Patients Experience Over time, my patients often describe profound transformations:

​

    •    Sleeping peacefully after years of insomnia

    •    Letting go of self-blame and shame

    •    Feeling lighter, freer, and more connected to others

    •    Finding meaning in life transitions and challenges

    •    Growing in confidence and self-awareness

    •    Reconstruct patterns with intention

Why Choose Me as Your Psychologist 

 

I am a skilled psychologist seasoned in drawing out inner matters to help you break impasses in your life and relationships. Unlike psychiatrists, who focus on medication management, clinical psychologists are trained in science of human behavior. My expertise combines cultural sensitivity, evidence-based strategies, and deep relational insight.

 

Not all couples require this level of intervention. My practice is designed for partnerships that matter enough to examine deeply - and for individuals prepared to participate fully in that examination.
