I had no plan to be a therapist, I did not even believe in therapy. I grew up in Silicon Valley as a child of refugees and built a career as an engineer and founder in tech chasing the things I thought would make me feel fulfilled (and my parents proud). For many years I felt off but I tried to ignore it and keep pushing through. Eventually it broke my health, my relationships, and my mental wellbeing. Thankfully, I stumbled upon an incredible therapist who understood me and helped me learn what it feels like to be honest with myself, to trust what I was feeling, and to figure out what actually matters to me. This experience changed me so profoundly that I wanted to do the same for others.
Maybe you also feel like something is off in your life. Maybe you have tried thinking about it, talking about it, reading about it, but no matter what, you keep ending up in the same place. What I have come to understand is that the answers we seek are not always found through thinking. They are found in our actions, in our bodies, in our feelings. We have an immense intelligence within us that is often drowned out by external pressures or beliefs that do not serve us. In some cases, we were simply never given the tools to access this information. Working with me is about tuning into this intelligence. It’s about stripping away the noise and the shoulds and accessing what is true for you.
To do this, I bring a unique mix of warmth, curiosity, humor, and directness. I share my own experiences when useful. I combine all of this with my clinical training drawing from Person-centered, Existential, Gestalt, and Reality therapy as well as REBT. Together, we build a relationship grounded in honesty, and that honesty reveals a life that feels exciting, hopeful, meaningful, and most importantly, authentic.
Outside of the therapy room, I recharge by spending time with my wife, daughter, and dog, training in martial arts, and lifting heavy at the gym. The rest of the time, you may find me running a men’s group, advising entrepreneurs, or working on software projects.
