Therapy for
High-Achieving Adults
exhausted by perfectionism,
burnout, and never being
able to shut it off
Virtual Therapy across 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.
You are exhausted and still somehow pushing harder.
It is late and your mind is still replaying yesterday’s staff meeting, yesterday’s argument, and everything you wish you had said differently
You look high functioning on the outside, but underneath all that striving is the fear that if you stop, you will not be enough
You got three hours of sleep, your eyes burn, the caffeine is barely touching it, and somehow you still expect yourself to perform
Your to do list is screaming, your chest is tight, and you are pretending you are fine because that is what you do
There is another meeting, another family event, another thing people need from you, and you do not say “no” because deep down, “no” feels dangerous
And below all of it is that deep old fear of being rejected, abandoned, or left if you are not constantly proving your worth
Imagine Your Life Not
Living in Overdrive
Waking up without already feeling behind
Saying “no” to the extra meeting, the family event, or the role you do not actually have the bandwidth for... and realizing the world did not fall apart
Getting through the day without your chest feeling tight the entire time
Feeling like your worth is not tied to how much you produce, host, fix, or manage
Showing up to holidays, dinners, and weekends without secretly resenting how much you are carrying
Letting the overperformer take a back seat so you can finally breathe too
You don’t have to feel this way.
I provide 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.

Hey, I’m Cora. I’m so glad you landed here.
Apart from being a mountain biker and liking Sour Patch Watermelon gummies WAY too much, I’m also a licensed psychotherapist who works with high-functioning adults dealing with anxiety, perfectionism, depression, and insomnia.
As someone who personally understands high standards and perfectionism, I get the pressure. I get the self expectation. And I get how fast it can all snowball. I bring both clinical expertise and genuine empathy to this work.
