Therapy for High-Achievers

Does life feel overwhelming
or unmanageable?

Maybe you feel like you’re drowning in everything that is expected of you or perhaps you’re questioning whether you’re really capable of a job you’ve worked so hard for

It might feel difficult to complete your day-to-day activities, or you’re simply struggling to function in any of your many roles. Perhaps you’re even feeling defeated, overwhelmed, on the verge of burning out, or disappointed by how your life has unfolded so far

Whatever it is that you’re experiencing, you’re beginning to notice the impact of this in every facet of your life:

  • Feeling on edge, anxious, or becoming irritable more easily at home or work.

  • Considering leaving a job you’ve worked hard for or wondering whether you’re good enough to be doing your job.

  • Overthinking and struggling to navigate your relationships or feel fully present.

 You’re ready for a change.

Therapy can help.

It may feel impossible now, but you can be authentic and thrive within your relationships. You can be more content and less overwhelmed. You can find meaning again in your roles and relationships. And I can help you get there.

Therapy for high achievers helps you:

  • Navigate and manage your many roles, without losing yourself in the process.

  • Develop and apply the skills to independently change your thinking patterns.

  • Have more balanced, fulfilling relationships with others and yourself, so you can start to feel like you again.

I’ll help you through this process, tailoring each step to your unique needs and circumstances. My approach to therapy for individuals just like you comes from a place of knowing that you are capable of getting back to the version of yourself you once knew, and that you just need help getting there.

How Therapy Works: An Integrative Approach Grounded in Evidence-Based Practices

My therapeutic approach draws from aspects of cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal-process, and dialectical-behavioral therapy, using evidence-based practices to help facilitate the changes you’re looking to make. Clients have described me as warm, approachable, direct, and helpful in identifying patterns within their relationships and lives.

I believe that each individual’s past contributes to their current experiences and am careful to balance the role of your history with the impact that this is having in your life now. I often incorporate relevant skills and strategies for you to implement outside of therapy to both improve the management of and reduce your symptoms as well as optimize your time between appointments.

Frequently asked questions about therapy

FAQs

  • The first appointment (initial/intake session) is spent getting to know you as well as gather enough information to offer a snapshot of your life currently. While there are many questions woven into the first appointment, most people say that the appointment feels relatively conversational. The information gathered in the first appointment also helps identify the areas you may be looking to address, form treatment goals, and provide context for future sessions (e.g., family structure). The following therapy appointments typically begin by reflecting on the time since the previous session, including what went well/what was difficult and if there are current stressors you'd like to address within the appointment.

    Appointments are approximately 55 minutes in length and can be completed either in-person at the office or online using the telehealth platform.

  • The length of time you spend in therapy and the frequency of your appointments are most dependent upon your goals for therapy. Many individuals find that attending weekly or every-other-week appointments is frequent enough that they are able to receive the support they are looking for as well as continue to make progress toward their goals between sessions. While some individuals attend therapy for a few months, others will engage in therapy off and on throughout their lives, returning to therapy as needed as additional stressors arise.

  • The content of your appointments is confidential with limited exceptions: risk of imminent serious harm to the client or another individual, mandated reporting of abuse and/or neglect of minors or vulnerable adults, or as a part of a signed court order.

    Additionally, if accessing insurance benefits as payment for services, insurance companies reserve the right to review treatment records.
