Therapy for High-Achieving Adults
Struggling with Anxiety, Perfectionism, and Burnout

Virtual Therapy in California

In-Person in Roseville, CA

You work hard. You care deeply. You hold yourself to high standards.
But inside, you feel anxious, exhausted, and never quite “good enough.”

I help you feel calmer, more confident, and more fulfilled—without losing your drive.

Why Do High Achievers Struggle with Anxiety
and Burnout?

Many high-achieving adults develop anxiety and insomnia not because they’re weak—but because they’re driven, responsible, and deeply committed to doing well.

Over time, this creates:

  • Chronic overthinking

  • Constant self-monitoring

  • Difficulty relaxing

  • Emotional exhaustion

  • Sleep disruption

Your nervous system never gets a break.

In therapy, we work on changing this pattern at its root—not just managing symptoms.

How Therapy Can Help You Feel
Calmer and More Confident

Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and CBT for Insomnia (CBT-I), I help clients:

  • Reduce anxious and self-critical thinking

  • Learn how to stop mental spirals

  • Improve sleep quality

  • Build self-compassion without losing motivation

  • Set healthier boundaries with work and expectations

  • Feel more emotionally grounded

This is practical, collaborative therapy focused on real-life change.

A Thoughtful, Supportive, Results-Oriented Approach

Our work is structured and goal-oriented, but always grounded in empathy and respect for your lived experience. You won’t be “fixed.” You’ll be supported as you learn new ways of relating to yourself.

    Anxiety

    When was the last time you felt at ease and not stressed that everything around you was going to come crumbling down?

    Release the Anxiety
  • Gray silhouette of a person with their hand on their forehead, with swirled lines and dots indicating confusion or dizziness.

    Depression

    Life is hard, heavy, and hopeless and it’s felt that way for way too long.

    Ditch the Depression
  • Clock showing 3:00 above a person sleeping in bed.

    Insomnia
