Anxiety and professional burnout
Practical, evidence-based support for professionals in demanding careers, and for high school and university students under academic pressure, who are very good at handling pressure and less practiced at making room for themselves.
Currently accepting clients located outside the United States.
Many of the people I work with are capable, conscientious, and successful. They're also tired. The worry doesn't switch off, sleep gets thin, small decisions feel heavy, and the things that used to restore them no longer do. From the outside, everything looks fine. Inside, it's getting harder to keep going.
I've worked with professionals at every stage of their careers, from early-career associates to senior leaders, including in-house psychological support for lawyers and staff at a multinational law firm in Singapore. I understand the pressures of demanding workplaces and how they follow people home.
The same patterns often start earlier. Many high school and university students, especially those at competitive international schools, carry intense academic pressure, perfectionism, and worry about the future. With years of experience in international schools, I help students manage stress and build healthier habits before burnout takes hold.
We start by understanding what's driving the pattern, including the thoughts, habits, and pressures that keep it going. Then we build practical skills to change it. I draw mainly on cognitive behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, with hands-on support for applying new strategies between sessions.
For people whose stress is tied to attention, organization, or planning, we also work on executive functioning: structuring the day, managing tasks, and working with how your mind actually operates rather than against it. My approach is neurodiversity-affirming.
Some clients come for a focused set of sessions to build skills; others stay longer to work through deeper patterns. We check in on your goals regularly, and when you've reached them, I'll say so.
If you're in crisis or need intensive support, my practice may not be the right fit. See whether my practice is right for you.
