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/career, or your relationship is on the brink of ending, I'll help you find your path forward with clarity and compassion. I specialize in multi-cultural relationships, relationship strengthening, consensual non-monogamy, sexual issues, discernment counseling, and career stress in tech. If you are looking to explore new ways of being, I am the therapist for you.
As a former data scientist turned relationship and sex therapist, I empower analytical minds to thrive in both their personal lives and careers. I blend CBT, IFS, attachment theory, mindfulness, Gottman method, and solution-focused techniques, tailored to your needs. 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.
