Therapy for High-Functioning Anxiety, Relational Stress & Over-Functioning in San Diego

Trade the Exhaustion of Constant Control for a Life That Feels Grounded, Present, and Authentic.

You’re used to being the capable one. You handle high-stakes decisions, manage complex dynamics, and keep everything running smoothly. But privately, the internal tax of holding it all together has become unsustainable.

You find yourself overthinking every interaction, anticipating problems before they happen, and living with a quiet, persistent edge of anxiety. Even when you achieve what you set out to do, you rarely get to enjoy it because your mind is already racing to the next demand. You want to be fully present in your life and relationships, but your nervous system is stuck on high alert.

High-capacity professionals don't need basic coping tools or advice on how to manage time. You need a therapeutic space that meets your intelligence, sees past your competence, and helps you address the root causes of internal pressure.

The Value of This Work: What Changes

Therapy isn't about changing who you are; it's about freeing up the massive amount of energy you currently spend managing anxiety and maintaining control.

  • From Hyper-Vigilance to Grounded Peace: Quiet the constant mental noise and learn how to let your guard down without feeling exposed or vulnerable.

  • From Over-Functioning to Real Agency: Uncouple your self-worth from productivity and caretaking, allowing you to set firm boundaries without guilt.

  • From Managing Connections to Deep Presence: Stop performing in your relationships so you can experience genuine closeness, trust, and ease with the people who matter most.

  • From Intellectualizing to Emotional Freedom: Move beyond just "understanding" your patterns intellectually so your body and mind can actually feel at ease.

A Direct, Depth-Oriented Clinical Approach

My practice offers a sophisticated, active, and collaborative environment. We look directly at the relational habits, unspoken rules, and internal pressures that keep you stuck in survival mode.

I work with clients through private, self-pay individual therapy ($175/hr), offering virtual therapy sessions in San Diego across California.
