Great to meet you!

I help thoughtful, driven clients break old patterns and build more connected lives, where impact and soul align. As a former tech leader and experienced therapist, I understand how success often hides internal conflict, and that real, lasting growth is never easy.

My approach to therapy

My approach is warm, empowering, and challenging because growth happens when we feel both secure and stretched. In therapy, we explore the tension between ambition and ease, relational distance, anxiety, addiction, discontent, and the work of deeper healing.

What you can expect from me

From the very first session, clients often feel relief in naming what’s been stuck and beginning to untangle old patterns. Over time, the work deepens into lasting change: freedom from cycles that no longer serve, stronger relationships, and a clearer sense of identity. My focus isn’t quick fixes, but real transformation: greater agency, deeper connection, and a renewed sense of aliveness.
