Take Back Control
and enjoy life again
I help stressed high achievers in New York feel better and lead a more balanced life.
Together, we’ll explore how to get to a place where your ups and downs in life are manageable instead of overwhelming.
If you feel anxious or stressed, you are not alone.
To others, it may look like you have it all.
You work hard, you’re accomplished and well-respected. But in reality, you’re full of self-criticism and self-doubt.
Often, you are eager to please others and take on too much responsibility.
You may be terrified of failure and feel like a fraud, afraid that others will find out that you’re not as good as they think you are.
