Succeed Beyond the Office

Elevate your relationships with confidence and connection

Overcome Anxiety and reconnect with inspiration and joy

You followed the road map for a happy life

Finance degree from the Marshal school at USC. Summer internships at PWC. Then, the job of your dreams at the firm with the best reputation and the most security.

It was a lot of sacrifice but you believed that once you got to the top you could finally take your foot off the gas pedal and enjoy. You could finally be happy.

But for some reason, despite all your achievements, happiness feels out of reach and the gas pedal is stuck to the floor.

Climbing the ladder isn’t motivating you anymore

Despite finally being called director, you find yourself staring at your computer screen dreaming of work that matters more as you ask yourself, “Who was I even trying to impress?”

New cars, a bigger house; just band-aids on a growing feeling that something is missing. 

It’s dawning on you that the nervousness and worry that you used to call ambition was really fear. Fear of not getting the life you want. Fear of not being good enough.

Tired of Missing Out

Whether it was working weekends while looking at your friend’s lives unfold on social media or getting home after the kids are already asleep, it always felt like you were disconnected from the people that matter the most. 

During dinner, when you’re finally free to enjoy time with the people you love, thoughts of work intrude like uninvited guests at the table. 

You miss being present with friends and family without tasks and to-do lists echoing in your mind.

You Can Have it All

Imagine a world where your professional goals and personal needs are not rivals, but allies. You wake up each morning well rested now that your thoughts don’t keep you up at night. You move daily, you eat better, and you connect with moments of joy that crush your daily stress.

You’re no longer preoccupied while spending time with family, leading to a deeper, more satisfying connection for all of you.

It’s time to keep those promises of vacations to sunny beaches or snowy mountains and make up for lost time.

Therapy Can Help

With therapy you will feel the weight of unrealistic expectations lifting, replaced by a newfound confidence. You will rebuild bridges with ones you love and close the gap in intimacy that once led to feelings of isolation.

Each session is a stepping stone towards more love and connection as you engage in conversations that are deep, meaningful, and nurturing.

Once you let go of perfectionism and anxiety, saying yes to projects will excite you again and saying no will be a lot easier. It’s time to set boundaries with work. You’ve earned it.

My Approach

Using Relationship tools, Resilience Research, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, we focus on what's happening in your life right now to build mastery. Through our work together, you will achieve confidence in having tough conversations and close the gap in intimacy that leads to feelings of isolation as well as reduce your anxiety as you gradually give up the perfectionism that drives your life.

What Past Clients Are Saying

  • “It was difficult to find someone who understood my cultural background and the pressures of running my own company. It was such a relief to find someone who could do both. Naj helped me navigate difficult interpersonal conversations with employees and loved ones while focusing on self care and sustainable work-life balance tools.” — N.S. age 33

  • “Naj’s understanding of the stresses, pressures, and mental health challenges facing those who work in technology and the startup space are unparalleled because he is one of the most relatable people I’ve ever met. He helped me to see my fullest potential, guided my whole family through a very dark period, and together we were able to identify and aptly address unhealthy habits and behaviors. ” — M.J. age 27

  • “Naj listened to me. He studied how I talk, how I process my emotions, experiences, past. He actively put himself in my shoes and never took them off during each session. This helped me unravel so much of how I get in my own way. If my mind was a rubics cube, Naj was identifying the colors, helping me organize the chaos.” — S.H. age 32
