leadership & career therapy

therapy for professionals, leaders, and executives balancing high-pressure stress and burnout

virtual CA career counseling in San Diego, LA, OC, and beyond.

You’ve built a career people admire. But somewhere between the promotions and the pressure, you stopped asking whether this is actually where you want to be. Instead you just keep climbing. Maybe you’ve reached a leadership level that is bringing pressure that you’ve started to take home at night. Or maybe you’re starting your career and not sure what to do next.

Career counseling in a therapy context is different than career coaching. We will go a step beyond - looking at the beliefs you carry about your self-worth, fear of failure or success, family narratives about career, and the internal patterns that may be keeping you stuck or spiraling. You might seek career counseling if:

  • You feel burnt out and aren’t sure if you should make a career change.

  • You’re successful by external measures but feel unfulfilled.

  • You’re facing a career transition or decision and feel paralyzed.

  • Imposter syndrome is undermining your confidence at work.

  • You’re an executive or leader carrying enormous pressure and nowhere to decompress.

  • You want to explore entrepeunership but self-doubt gets in the way.

  • You’re a recent graduate and not sure what strengths or values light you up in your career.

You don’t have to navigate these questions alone. I offer career counseling virtually in San Diego, OC, LA and across California and accept Aetna, Anthem, CenCal, and sliding scale.

What I bring to the room: In addition to being a therapist, I bring years of experience as a leadership consultant, coach and facilitator working with organizations and leaders navigating change, high stakes, and constant performance pressure. I’ve sat in the rooms where decisions get made under that kind of weight and the way that type of pressure follows you home.

That lived experience shapes how I work. We will explore the stories you carry about success and failure, identifying where it accelerates or derails you towards your goals or decisions. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you identify the patterns that get in the way or keep you stuck in indecision, and I use Existential Therapy to help you explore what is most important to you.
