You Don’t Have to Hold It All Together Alone

Running your own business is often seen as the ultimate form of freedom—but for many entrepreneurs, executives, and solo practitioners, the weight of responsibility can feel suffocating. Whether you’re leading a team or leading yourself, you’re likely juggling a thousand decisions, questioning whether you’re doing enough, and pushing through exhaustion because stepping back feels risky.

I specialize in therapy for business owners and entrepreneurs navigating the emotional and psychological challenges of high achievement. You don’t have to carry the weight alone. Therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, reclaim clarity, and move forward with intention.

The Hidden Struggles of Business Owners and Entrepreneurs

From the outside, it may seem like you've "made it." But behind the scenes, many business owners are quietly experiencing:

  • Chronic anxiety about performance, revenue, or sustainability

  • Burnout from constant hustle or blurred boundaries

  • Imposter syndrome, even after years of success

  • Isolation, especially if you're a solopreneur or leading a team

  • Decision fatigue and pressure to always be “on”

  • Guilt for wanting rest or questioning your passion

Therapy offers space to unpack these struggles without judgment.

Why Therapy Helps When You’re the One in Charge

Entrepreneurship demands resilience—but it also demands self-awareness. When you're the face of your brand or the heart of your company, your mental and emotional health directly impacts your work, relationships, and long-term goals.

Working with a therapist who understands business ownership can help you:

  • Set boundaries that protect your time and energy

  • Work through fear of failure or visibility

  • Untangle your identity from your output

  • Explore values-based decision-making

  • Rebuild your relationship with rest, success, and purpose

What Therapy Looks Like for Entrepreneurs

Therapy with me isn’t rigid or prescriptive. It’s a collaborative space where we focus on your real, day-to-day experiences as a business owner. We might explore patterns of overworking, dig into perfectionism, or use evidence-based tools to manage anxiety and stress.

Sessions are virtual, so you can meet from your office, home, or even between meetings. We’ll work together to make therapy something that supports you—not one more thing on your plate.

Where I Work With Business Owners

Whether you're working from a downtown high-rise or a corner of your living room, therapy meets you where you are. I work with business owners across Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, Vermont, and Florida.

Boston, MA

From the pressure of scaling in a competitive city to the high expectations of academic and startup culture, Boston entrepreneurs often carry a unique mental load. I offer therapy that helps you quiet imposter syndrome and reconnect with your purpose.

Denver, CO

In Denver’s fast-growing business scene, it’s easy to feel like you’re constantly chasing the next goal. Therapy can be a place to pause, reflect, and find balance—especially for solopreneurs and creatives pushing themselves hard.

Brooklyn & NYC, NY

In the city that never sleeps, it can feel like there’s no off switch. If you're an NYC-based founder, therapist, or consultant, you’re likely navigating intense pressure. Therapy helps you manage anxiety, find boundaries, and reset from burnout.

Miami, FL

Entrepreneurship in Miami can feel bold, fast-paced, and high-stakes. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or stuck in hustle mode, therapy can help you slow down and reconnect with your “why.”

Burlington, VT

For Vermont-based business owners, the slower pace doesn’t always mean less stress. Therapy gives you a space to work through perfectionism, self-doubt, and the isolation that can come with leadership.

Therapy That Gets It—Because I Live It, Too

As a solo business owner, I’m in the trenches with you. I understand the mental load that comes with running the show. That shared experience allows me to offer not just clinical expertise, but real empathy and connection. You won’t have to explain what it’s like—I already get it.

You’re Allowed to Get Support

You’ve built the business. You’ve taken care of everyone else. Now it’s time to put yourself on the calendar. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or just not like yourself, therapy can help.

Let’s talk about what’s possible when your mental health becomes part of your success story.
