You’re great at your job. You can debug complex systems and manage high-stakes deployments, but you can’t seem to "logic" your way out of burnout or the constant hum of anxiety. If you’ve tried therapy before and felt like it was too slow, too "touchy-feely," or lacked a clear objective, you’re not alone.
We focus on:
Performance & Burnout: Strategies to reclaim your focus without sacrificing your career.
Analytical Communication: Learning to navigate relationships and social anxiety without feeling fake.
Neurodivergent-Friendly Support: Specialized care for brains that process information differently. You don't need a "journey"—you need strategies that work
I’ll support you to develop genuine resilience and practical strategies for balance. A life where you achieve success without sacrificing your well-being is possible. Ready to see results? Let’s get to work. Book a session today. Call me 203 488 2984

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
