When Success Stops Feeling Like Enough
Therapy in Virginia for high-achieving adults who want fulfilling relationships, clearer decisions, and a kinder inner voice.
Being the reliable one comes with a cost.
The deadlines get met, the plates keep spinning, and yet the pressure never really lets up. Your worth starts to feel tied to your performance. Even at home, it feels like you can never keep up.
You don't have to carry all of it alone. Therapy can be a place to slow down, make sense of what is driving the pressure, and find steadier ways to move through work & life balance.
Our work is practical, compassionate, and focused on change you can feel in daily life. Together, we will:
- Loosen the link between work and worth so achievement is not the only way to feel okay
- Make room for clear decisions without constant second-guessing
- Set steadier boundaries at work and at home without guilt
- Feel calmer around family triggers and build relationships that don’t require over-functioning
You can expect more clarity, more calm in your body, and more ease with the people who matter most.
Hi, I'm Ken.
I help high performers stop chasing validation and start living from real self-worth.
Before private practice, I spent twenty years in finance and sales. People told me their deepest worries long before we ever talked numbers. I learned how to build trust quickly, listen for what matters, and be steady when things feel heavy. I also know anxiety and self-doubt from the inside. That history shaped a style that is warm, practical, and honest.
My approach is tailored to you—hence Bespoke Counseling. We will look at the beliefs that formed during overwhelming moments and how they still drive your reactions today. I draw from EMDR and parts-informed work to help you update those patterns, not just understand them.
If you are ready to trade constant proving for grounded confidence, let’s talk. The struggle has purpose.
