Specialized therapy for imposter syndrome, creative blocks, and the private cost of a successful public life. I'm trained specifically to work with high-achieving and creative people — in person near Richmond, VA, or online across Virginia and Washington, DC.
Ambition, wealth, and high-pressure environments intersect with mental health in ways most therapy doesn't address. Many of my clients — executives, artists, founders, physicians, performers — maintain a highly successful public life while quietly carrying imposter syndrome, creative blocks, and relational strain tied to their professional identity.
When your work is publicly visible, professional vulnerability is a physiological event: the pitch, the opening, the review land in the body as threat. And when self-worth gets tangled with output, rest starts to feel like failure. No amount of achievement quiets a system organized around proving.
Our work focuses on regulating the nervous system to handle professional vulnerability, unblocking creative energy, and untangling self-worth from productivity — through Somatic Experiencing® and Inner Relationship Focusing.
Clients with public-facing careers often prefer that their mental health care leave no trace in insurance databases. My practice is private pay only: complete confidentiality, no insurance-mandated diagnoses, and a monthly superbill if you choose to seek out-of-network reimbursement. More on fees and private pay.
