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 also 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 is it Like to Work with You?

My treatment approach is designed as a structured accelerated model of psychotherapy. I work collaboratively with people to get to the bottom of their problems and solve them as rapidly as possible. While symptom relief is a fine goal, I aim to help people achieve lasting change. Current symptoms should not be replaced by different symptoms. Within the confines of reality, we will work diligently to help you define your goals and create a life in which you fulfill your adaptive potential.

My form of psychotherapy is most suitable for people who have high motivation to change for the better: to relieve their suffering, end self-defeating patterns and habits, and fulfill their optimal potential. This form of psychotherapy is an active one, and I take a very involved stance with my clients. This is unlike some other forms of therapy where the client and/or therapist takes a passive stance and gets caught up in detailed storytelling that is detached from core emotion. Your active involvement, courage, and strong "will to get well" aided by my extensive training and structured help will substantially shorten the overall course of your therapy and expedite your progress and success.
