Together we will identify what is driving the pressure you are under, sort out what you can control from what you cannot, and build a steady, repeatable way of thinking that holds up when the stakes are real, whether that is a season, a boardroom, a stage, or any defining moment.

My clients describe me as direct, grounded, and easy to talk to. I take the work seriously without making every session feel heavy, and clients often leave with something concrete to carry into their week.

A calm, focused conversation about what brought you in and what is at stake. I will ask thoughtful questions, listen closely, and by the end we will have a clear picture of your goals and a first step forward. Everything is confidential and paced to you.

I have always been drawn to how people find their footing under pressure. Early in my career, I worked with at risk adolescents and clients facing dual diagnosis challenges, and I saw how much change is possible when someone feels understood and has a clear path forward.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist offering telehealth across California, New York, Nevada, and Utah, with in person availability in Beverly Hills. My work centers on identity, responsibility, and psychological clarity under pressure. I also serve as a Performance Specialist in sports psychology.
