Therapy doesn't have to be abstract, pathologizing, or endless. I love working with people who have a big vision, dream, or calling—folks facing daunting endeavors—and helping them get there. Scholars and scientists; creatives and artists; healers and spiritualists; founders, leaders, builders, and entrepreneurs; change-makers and activists; folks in tech and startups, especially public benefit and non-profit—critical and divergent thinkers who find it hard to just "go through the motions" or engage with the norm. People with big picture mindsets and deep, niche interests, focused on differences that make a difference.

My approach is focused, practical, and strategic—tackling immediate priorities while resolving underlying patterns. Root causes, first principles, and leverage points rather than symptoms and psychobabble. Rounds of meaningful, progressive work over ambiguous weekly check-ins. Signal over noise. Helping you as much, as swiftly, as possible.

Beyond therapy, I provide clinical supervision, coaching, and consultation. I’m deeply committed to supporting other mental health providers through the complexity of life and practice, and consulting on misunderstood or stuck cases that haven't found traction elsewhere. I aim to help you succeed on your own terms–while being there to call upon as needed.

Problems of living are unique to each situation; life's trials are often complex, messy, and systemic. No diagnostic category or framework is exact. I tend to avoid reductive labels to better understand how things work for you. We'll find our bearings within the unique geography of your life and work from multiple points of view, whichever best support your process of self-development and growth.

Fully online. My practice can sometimes accommodate folks with geographically flexible lives and circumstances, including international.
