LLS Therapies was founded to bring together exceptional clinicians who specialize in working with high-insight individuals navigating sustained pressure, complex relationships, and demanding environments.

Many people reach out unsure which clinician is the right fit or whether they’re ready for therapy at all. During a brief, private 1:1 discovery call, we’ll help you think through what you’re looking for and guide you toward the clinician best suited to your needs.

Each provider here is more than simply qualified. We’ve been selected for our ability to hold complex stories with clarity, discretion, and clinical depth. While our approaches differ, we share a single commitment: helping clients move beyond performance and survival into genuine emotional alignment.

Founder | Psychotherapist for High-Achieving, Emotionally Guarded Clients

I work with individuals who are outwardly composed and inwardly disconnected. My clients are high-functioning professionals, deep thinkers, and relationally reserved individuals who have learned to rely on logic, independence, and control but are beginning to feel the quiet cost of emotional distance.

In our work, I offer a calm, highly structured space where insight emerges without pressure, and self-protection is respected not pathologized. My approach blends psychodynamic depth, attachment-focused exploration, and CBT-informed clarity. We move at a deliberate, sustainable pace to build trust, emotional fluency, and internal coherence.

Clients often come to me after years of self-management. They aren’t looking to fall apart. They’re ready to understand themselves more deeply, connect more honestly, and evolve without losing what makes them strong.

If you're high-functioning but quietly stuck, this work is designed for you.
