Professional Life

For nearly two decades, I navigated the high-stakes arenas of law and finance. My career began as a structured finance lawyer and transitioned to investment banking, taking on senior leadership roles at institutionslike Goldman Sachs and The Royal Bank of Scotland, and finally as a co-founder and executive in the tech sector at companies like FinDox, Figure, and RoofStock.

I thrived on the intensity and complexity of that life. I understand the unique pressures of high-performance environments because I lived them. However, I also experienced the paradox that brings many of my clients to therapy: the realization that external success doesn't always translate to internal fulfillment.

I pivoted to this work not to leave that world behind, but to bring a deeper level of understanding to it. Today, I use that background to help clients navigate the profound risks involved in change.

Because I understand the architecture of your professional life—the financial stakes, the career politics, and the relentless pace, we can go straight to the core of the issue. Whether you are navigating a complex decision, managing a transition, or trying to understand a sense of emptiness despite your success, I offer a partnership that is grounded, intelligent, and deeply focused on helping you find clarity.

Prior to working with clients in private practice, I worked as an individual and group therapist at Exodus Recovery Inc., a residential crisis facility, supporting clients with substance use, addiction, and mental illness. At Exodus Recovery, I gained a deep understanding of how addiction and mental health struggles ripple through families. I saw firsthand that these issues don't happen in a vacuum—they fundamentally alter relationships. I use this experience to help clients navigate their own struggles and the confusion of loving someone who is struggling, helping you establish boundaries and find stability even when things at home feel chaotic.

My Practice

My clients describe me as warm, direct, and deeply engaged. While they value my background, what they appreciate most is that I am a real person in the room with them. I’m not working from a textbook; I’m drawing on a reality that includes high-stakes career moves, raising a family, and navigating the messy, beautiful work of being human.

This shared understanding creates a space where you can finally let your guard down. We can move quickly past the surface to the heart of the matter. Whether we are untangling a complex dynamic with a co-founder or working through a stalemate in your marriage, I am here to help you build the practical skills you need to move forward.

Ultimately, the goal isn't just strategy—it’s relief and connection. I help you clear away the noise so you can learn to listen to yourself again. This is where the shift happens, allowing you to show up more authentically in every part of your life.this is great.

Family & Parenthood

I understand the complexity of family life because I am right in the thick of it. As a parent to two teenagers, I am navigating the daily realities of modern adolescence—including questions of identity, independence, and belonging.

I also know that relationships rarely follow a straight line. Having navigated divorce, co-parenting, and the nuances of a blended family, I understand the work it takes to rebuild. I bring the practical skills of a trained mediator, which allows me to help families navigate emotionally charged transitions with clarity and care.

I bring this lived experience into the room to offer you a space that is free of judgment. I know that life can be messy, but I also know that with the right tools, it is possible to create a reality that feels grounded and connected.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

I work with a structured, accelerated model of psychotherapy because I believe you shouldn't have to be in therapy forever to find relief. My goal is to get to the core of what you are facing—whether that is chronic burnout, a cycle you can't seem to break, or a feeling of inner deadness despite doing everything right. We identify it so we can move through it, rather than just managing symptoms week after week.

This approach is active and collaborative. I don’t sit back and nod while you recount the week's events; I step in to help you spot patterns and challenge the narratives that keep you stuck. We will be direct, we will be honest, and we will keep the focus on what actually creates change.

The reason I work this way is simple: I know what is possible. I have seen clients who felt completely trapped find clarity and relief much faster than they expected. When you have a space where you can be fully real—and a partner who isn't afraid to do the heavy lifting with you—the path forward opens up. We aren't just trying to get you back to baseline; we are clearing the way for you to actually enjoy your life.
