🦢 Like a swan, you may appear calm on the surface. But underneath? You’re paddling furiously to stay afloat.

This is often how burnout, anxiety, trauma, and even sleep difficulties show up. High-functioning on the outside. Meeting deadlines.

Showing up for others. But inside - exhaustion and feeling stuck.

The good news? Evidence-based therapy can help you move beyond survival mode and find steadiness that feels real, not forced.

Reach out for a free consultation, and let's get unstuck.

Trauma isn’t always obvious.

Sometimes it looks like irritability, exhaustion, difficulty sleeping, feeling “on edge,” or shutting down when life feels overwhelming.

Many high-performing professionals silently carry the weight of trauma... while continuing to show up at work, for their families, and for everyone else.

Here’s the truth: trauma doesn’t have to define you. With the right support, healing is possible.

I use evidence-based approaches to help professionals move beyond survival mode and into lives that feel grounded, meaningful, and connected again. Reach out and let's get started.

🌙 Sleep Isn’t a Luxury, It’s a Performance Tool

When you're in a high-pressure, high-stress career, it’s tempting to treat sleep like optional overtime - something you can cut when deadlines, emergencies, or demands pile up.

But here’s the truth:
🔹 Chronic sleep loss impacts focus, mood, decision-making, and even physical health.
🔹 It increases the risk of burnout, anxiety, and depression.
🔹 “Catching up” by sleeping in on your off-days doesn’t reverse the effects.

In my work with attorneys, physicians, executives, first responders, and other high-performing professionals, I’ve seen how optimizing sleep can be the most impactful change they make.

And it’s not about just “getting more hours." It’s about learning evidence-based strategies to train your brain and body for better sleep quality, even in the face of unpredictable schedules and high stress.

If you’re ready to approach sleep as a professional skill, not an afterthought, I can help.

📣 Now accepting new clients!

At Momentum Behavioral Health, I specialize in working with people who look like they’re doing fine on the outside... but inside, they feel overwhelmed, stuck, burned out, or simply not themselves anymore. And they're tired of "just getting by."

Many of my clients are professionals in high-pressure careers who have been pushing through anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, or sleep issues for years.

If this sounds like you, reaching out is the next step to getting "unstuck." I don't offer surface-level solutions. I offer therapy that actually helps, and lasts. I can help you build meaningful momentum toward a life that feels grounded, present, and aligned.

Let's get you showing up again for what truly matters. Without burning out of losing yourself along the way.

"Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire? Leaning out to catch the sun's rays... a lesson to be applied." – Pearl Jam 🌳☀️

In high-pressure careers, it's easy to become rigid — always bracing, always performing. You might feel like you have to hold it all together, keep things straight, stay on script. But what if bending is actually where your strength lives?

Like that tree, maybe you’ve been quietly reaching — for meaning, for relief, for some space to just be. Maybe you're craving a life that doesn't just look successful, but feels aligned. That leaning you’re doing? That’s your wisdom. That’s your resilience.

In therapy, we explore what it means to grow on your own terms — even in demanding environments. You don't have to contort yourself to survive. You can learn to stretch toward what nourishes you instead.

🌱 Ready to catch your own sun? Let’s talk. Visit my website to book a free consult or DM me to start.
