Are you successful in many areas of life, yet still find yourself repeating painful patterns in relationships, work, or the way you relate to yourself? I've been there too. I'm intimately familiar with loud inner critics, perfectionism, depression, anxiety, and feeling stuck. I'm an MIT-educated problem solver who left my tech career to become the therapist I needed when I was stuck. I blend scientific thinking with empathetic curiosity, helping my clients examine their patterns from a new perspective and create a more authentic self. My goal isn't simply symptom relief, it's lasting change through deeper self-understanding.
Many of my clients are brilliant, kind humans looking for a therapist who can actively collaborate, not "just listen". My clients say that I ask questions they'd never considered, and I challenge them in ways that support their goals and growth. I don't believe in a "one-size-fits-all" therapeutic approach - I tailor my therapy to each unique individual.
I offer virtual therapy to clients throughout California and the Bay Area (San Francisco, Berkeley, Palo Alto, Mountain View). I specialize in high-achieving professionals, "overthinking", couples, LGBTQ+, non-monogamy, and ketamine therapy. Curious if I'm the therapist for you? Book a free 15-minute consultation call directly on my website, and let's chat.
