Introduction

Bella Walko is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist supervised by Erica Basso, LMFT. She works with high-achieving adults, athletes, teens, and young adults navigating anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, and life transitions. Bella’s style is warm, grounded, and practical. She helps clients slow down, manage stress and overwhelm, and shift patterns of overthinking and self-criticism - especially when the pressure to perform starts to impact mood, relationships, or day-to-day life. As a former Division I athlete with experience in high-performance corporate environments, Bella understands the internal standards and intensity that often come with achievement-driven lives. She’s especially attuned to performance pressure, identity, and the “always on” mindset, and supports clients in building resilience that feels sustainable - not just productive. Outside of sessions, Bella enjoys open-water swimming, training for triathlons, and comedy shows.
