Therapy for High-Achieving Adults Who Feel Stressed, Self-Critical, and Exhausted
You may look successful on the outside, but inside you’re overwhelmed, overthinking everything, and struggling to truly rest or sleep.
You’re used to pushing through. You hold yourself to high standards, care deeply about doing things well, and feel pressure to keep going - even when your mind won’t slow down and your body feels worn out. Anxiety, people-pleasing, procrastination, and poor sleep can quietly take over, leaving you feeling like what you do is never quite good enough.
Therapy can be a place to step out of that cycle, understand what’s driving the stress, and build a steadier, more sustainable way of living and working.

Hi, I’m Elia.
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
I work with adults who want real change. My clients are typically bright, thoughtful, and motivated, yet struggling with anxiety, panic, insomnia, or recurring nightmares that leave them feeling rattled and exhausted. My role is to help you understand yourself more deeply, sleep more restfully, and approach challenges with steadiness and clarity.
My approach is warm, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I like to balance structure (so you feel guided) with space (so you can talk about what’s actually happening in your life).
My clients often leave therapy with:
More emotional awareness
Better tools to self-soothe
Fewer panic symptoms
More restful sleep
Less self-criticism
A deeper sense of peace
Confidence navigating life’s challenges
