I specialize in working with high-achieving, outwardly successful women who feel driven by anxiety, self-criticism, and constant pressure to perform. Using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I help clients build psychological flexibility so they can pursue meaningful goals without chronic stress or burnout.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California. I provide psychotherapy to adult clients through Grit & Grace Therapy.
Sessions are offered online only via secure telehealth. This practice is private pay and does not accept insurance.
At Grit & Grace Therapy, I work with high-achieving, ambitious women with high-functioning anxiety, particularly those struggling with punishing perfectionism and people-pleasing.
My clients are often outwardly successful and capable, yet internally feel driven by anxiety, self-criticism, and constant pressure to perform. They want to pursue meaningful goals without living in chronic stress, emotional guardedness, or burnout.
This work is often a strong fit for women who:
Clients often seek therapy not because they are failing, but because their current coping strategies are no longer sustainable.
Grit & Grace Therapy may not be the right fit if you are:
This practice does not specialize in generalized anxiety treatment for all populations. The work is specifically focused on high-achieving adult women.
In these cases, I encourage seeking services that better match those needs.
Therapeutic Approach & Style
My work at Grit & Grace Therapy is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and is collaborative, personalized, and action oriented. ACT focuses on changing your relationship with anxiety, perfectionism, and self-criticism rather than trying to eliminate them entirely. Together, we build psychological flexibility by learning how to make room for difficult thoughts and emotions while taking meaningful action aligned with your values. Sessions balance insight, skills, and real-life application. The goal is not just symptom reduction, but the ability to live a fuller, more authentic life while pursuing what matters to you.
As an LCSW, I specialize in supporting driven, high-performing women who feel stuck despite outward success. My work is informed by evidence-based psychotherapy, with particular emphasis on ACT and values-based change.
I help high-achieving women with high-functioning anxiety learn how to relate differently to anxious thoughts and internal pressure so they can pursue meaningful goals without chronic stress.
I work with driven women whose perfectionism and self-criticism keep them stuck, helping them build flexibility and self-trust without lowering their standards or ambition.
I help women who struggle with people-pleasing develop stronger internal clarity, healthier boundaries, and a more authentic relationship with themselves and others.
