“Showing your vulnerability does not mean you’re weak.”
— Raphaël Varane
You’ve built a life that looks successful. That doesn’t mean it feels good to live in.
You know how to perform under pressure, solve problems, and keep moving. Other people may rely on you to have the answers. But success doesn’t erase trauma, fix relationship patterns, or make vulnerability feel safe.
I work with high-achieving people—including professional athletes, performers, entrepreneurs, and people whose lives come with unusual pressure, visibility, or responsibility.
Together, we look at what happened to you, what you learned to do to survive it, and whether those same strategies still belong in the life you have now.
I’m warm, direct, and deeply invested in the work. I’ll have compassion for why your patterns developed—and I’m also not going to pretend they aren’t costing you something.
You don’t need someone impressed by your life. You need someone who can help you live it.
What helped you become successful may be getting in the way of the life you want now.
Therapy for the parts of your life success didn’t fix.

Does this resonate?
You can be successful and still know that something isn’t working.
You’re used to handling things. You solve problems, meet your responsibilities, and keep moving—even under pressure. From the outside, your life may look exactly as it should.
But certain patterns keep showing up. Maybe you struggle to trust people or let them get close. Maybe something from your past is affecting you more than you want to admit. Or maybe you’ve accomplished what you worked so hard for and still don’t feel the way you expected to feel.
You don’t need someone to rescue you or do the work for you. You need someone who can help you see what you may be missing, ask the right questions, and be honest with you about what is getting in your way.
That’s where I can help.
Success can change your circumstances. It doesn’t automatically change your patterns.

Hey, I’m Drew!
You’re used to performing. Here, you don’t have to.
When you’re performing at an elite level, finding someone you can truly trust isn’t always easy. People may admire you, depend on you, compete with you, or want something from you. Even the people closest to you may not fully understand what it takes to live with that much pressure and visibility.
Hi, I’m Drew—a warm, insightful, direct, and occasionally funny Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with professional athletes, performers, entrepreneurs, and other highly successful people who want a place where they can be honest without worrying about how they’ll be perceived.
My clients are accustomed to being disciplined, capable, and in control. Those qualities may have helped you build an extraordinary life, but they don’t automatically create fulfilling relationships, make it easier to trust people, or resolve experiences you’ve had to push through along the way.
You don’t need another person telling you how to perform better. My role is to help you understand what happens when the performance ends: the patterns you repeat, the people you let close, the ways you protect yourself, and the parts of your life that still don’t feel the way you thought they would.
I won’t be intimidated by your success, and I won’t reduce you to it. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, notice patterns, challenge you when it’s useful, and help you understand which of your strategies still serve you—and which ones are keeping you from the life and relationships you want.
I could fill this space with my credentials and training, but you can find those elsewhere. What matters most is whether you feel you can trust me with the parts of your life that few people get to see.
The white hair is from a life fully lived. My experiences may be different from yours, but I know something about navigating a complicated life, adapting when circumstances change, and finding meaning in what you’ve been through.
Outside the therapy room, I’m a mom, a passionate home chef, and an unapologetic boy-band fanatic. New Kids on the Block will always be my favorite, and I have been known to travel around the country chasing Joey McIntyre—my first love.
I take your privacy and our work seriously. I just don’t believe therapy has to feel stiff or clinical to be meaningful.
When life kicks you down….
It’s time to pick yourself back up.
You’ve had the blueprint of your life shattered. It’s time to set that shit on fire. You may have thought you would be with your partner forever. You might have thought you would love motherhood but it sucks and you’re burned out. Where did the real you go, anyway? You may have been able to live with the trauma in your life but it’s reared it’s ugly head, big time. Not to worry, this is when the best version of you can be resurrected. I know because I’ve seen it and done it myself a million times.
