Are you a Bay Area professional whose life looks great on paper, yet inside you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or lost? Is your brain both a brilliant asset and your own worst critic? Perhaps you've tried to break patterns, reduce stress, or increase fulfillment on your own, but you believe there's still room to grow. As a therapist for engineers, founders, operators, tech workers, and high performers, I specialize in helping ambitious, elite clients optimize their lives. Intrigued but unsure if I'm the right therapist for you? No pressure. Book a free 15-minute consultation directly through my website to assess for yourself.
I am a queer MIT-educated former-tech-professional turned therapist, and I’m personally familiar with the patterns that burden high performers. My approach focuses on tangibly improving quality-of-life without diminishing ambition. I help clients set goals and design experiments, working as a collaborative thought partner, not just a "therapist who listens".
For virtual therapy, I work with clients throughout the Bay Area (San Francisco, Palo Alto, Mountain View, etc). For in-person therapy, my office is in Berkeley, California. I offer individual, couples, and ketamine therapy, with space for new clients Monday-Thursday. To get started, book a free 15-minute consultation call directly on my website.
