Therapy for Silicon Valley High Achievers & Deep Feelers
Specialized trauma, panic, and anxiety therapy for women across San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Cupertino, Palo Alto & Los Gatos
The Lightholder Counseling is entirely virtual — and for most of my clients, that's exactly the point. No commute, no waiting room, no rearranging your calendar around traffic. You can do this work from wherever you actually have an hour.
What it looks like:
I work with adults 18+, primarily women, struggling with overwhelm, stress and burnout — offering virtual therapy throughout Silicon Valley— San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Cupertino, Palo Alto, Los Gatos, and Los Altos.
I might be the right therapist for you if:
Who I serve:
You feel like you've done everything right, but it doesn't it feel like enough
You have exhaustion that doesn't go away no matter how much you sleep.
The perfectionism that used to push you forward now just makes you feel like you're never quite there.
The relationships that should feel close somehow don't
The anxiety you've learned to manage so well suddenly feels intolerable
Your hyper-vigilant nervous system is locked in a chronic 'fight-or-flight' freeze state that cognitive talk therapy cannot reach.
You've tried therapy before and it was fine — but it didn't go deep enough, or fast enough, or it just didn't work. You don't need someone to nod and reflect your feelings back at you for years.
You need someone who can actually help you change.
Trauma Informed Therapy for the Reality of Silicon Valley Burnout
Silicon Valley runs on high achievers—the founders, engineers, executives, and creatives who built their success by never slowing down. But that same relentless drive can leave you completely disconnected from your body, your relationships, and your own nervous system. I provide specialized, evidence-based trauma and panic therapy for women across the tech corridor who are ready to move past high-functioning exhaustion, rewrite deeply ingrained perfectionism loops, and actively repair the underlying somatic stress of overperformance.
