If you're frustrated by understanding problems intellectually but still feeling stuck, you've found the right place. Whether you're looking to transform your relationships or career, I'll help you find your path forward with clarity and compassion. I specialize in improving communication and conflict resolution, multicultural relationships, re-building after infidelity, navigating sexuality and intimacy issues, discernment counseling, and career stress in tech. If you are looking to explore new ways of being, I am the therapist for you.
I blend my data science background with relational therapy to help clients identify underlying patterns in their relationships and careers. Tailored to your needs, I blend CBT, Developmental Model, Gottman method, IFS, attachment theory, mindfulness, & sex therapy. I offer collaborative therapy that is kink-informed, poly-friendly, and trauma-aware.
If you're committed to moving beyond logic for deeper growth, I'm here to help. Let's work together to help you feel secure, desired, and fulfilled again. Together, we'll pivot with confidence to create the connections you desire.
