Clinician

I work with thoughtful, curious individuals who often know the “right” answers but find themselves repeatedly pulled into familiar, problematic patterns that are holding them back from achieving their full potential.

MY PSYCHOTHERAPY CLIENTS ARE MOTIVATED to be better versions of themselves. I believe in going beyond quick-fix solutions for symptoms and think people are best served when they can pursue meaningful, sustained change. psychotherapy is an avenue for you to discover how to live more fully and freely.

04 Behavioral Finance

A person's financial life is a complex calculus of personal history, thinking, emotions, and environment. Financial advisors are trained in how to manage money, but they aren't taught how to work with people who are talking and thinking about one of the most emotionally-fraught aspects of their lives. I work with members of the finance industry to understand how psychology impacts their clients' financial decision-making and behavior.
