Introduction

You may be used to holding yourself to high standards, pushing through stress, and looking like you have it together—even when you’re second-guessing yourself or feeling exhausted. Perhaps you replay conversations, struggle to switch off, or wonder why reaching your goals hasn’t brought the relief you expected. Bella Walko works with adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, burnout, and life transitions, including college and graduate students and athletes. Whether you’re facing career pressure, adjusting to a new chapter, or feeling worn down by your own expectations, Bella offers space to understand what you’re experiencing and figure out what needs to change. Her approach is collaborative and practical, with room for honest conversation and trying things differently. Together, you can work toward setting boundaries, making decisions without endless deliberation, and feeling more comfortable being yourself—even when things are uncertain or imperfect. A former Division I swimmer with corporate experience, Bella understands how achievement can become tied to self-worth. She helps clients reconnect with their needs and build a sense of fulfillment beyond the next accomplishment. Bella is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist supervised by Erica Basso, LMFT.
