I’m trained and educated and licensed in all the ways you’d expect of a therapist, but my approach and experience come from some sources you wouldn’t expect.

I’m also someone’s partner, someone’s parent, someone’s daughter, someone’s sibling, someone’s friend. Just like you. Our work together focuses on balancing the roles we play in our lives so that each part, each function, works in harmony with the others. We are not simple, we are dynamic. We are not workaholics, but neither are we lazy; we are not obsessive, but neither are we unfocused. We are human beings aimed at living in ways that are true to ourselves, and if we’re healthy, we respond with passion to the demands of our responsibilities and the challenges of the day.

I have a keen understanding of the unique demands and rewards of working in the tech industry. I’ve worked with the ravages of addiction—to drugs, to alcohol, and to the Internet. I’ve guided people who are struggling on the front lines of managing chronic and life-threatening illnesses or caring for aging parents. I’ve helped those confronting the disruptive issues of family life while steering them toward fulfillment when nothing seems certain. Our work together may be informed by theory, but it comes from a desire to help you to live true to your self. My job is to help you identify your choices and approach, but you’re the power that creates change.
