Psychotherapy & Digital Health

Welcome

Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to visit. My work brings together clinical practice, system design, and narrative research. I support organizations working to improve mental-health care, consult on digital-health strategy, and write about the cultural and clinical stories that shape how we understand distress.

If you’re exploring therapy, I want you to know that beginning this process can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve been carrying things alone for a long time. My approach is warm, non-judgmental, and informed by nearly a decade of clinical practice in varied care settings.

For publishers and collaborators, you’ll find links to my current writing projects, including Shadow of a Diagnosis, which blends memoir, critique, and narrative theory. You’ll also find my background across healthcare, nonprofit, and innovation sectors.

Please explore whatever you're here for—therapy, consulting, or writing. I’m glad you’re here.
