People describe me as warm, supportive, and non-judgmental. I grew up in the Florida panhandle, and moved to the Bay Area in 2015. I currently live in Oakland with my wife, son, and dog. In my spare time, I like to read, ride my bike, play piano, discover new music, play tennis, and enjoy the California sunshine.

I graduated from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS) with an M.A. in Counseling Psychology and from Yale University with a B.S. in Environmental Engineering. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in a variety of roles: as the chief of staff for a high-growth startup, as a consultant for fortune 500 companies, and as a research scientist studying novel water disinfection technologies. These experiences helped me find my passion: building relationships with people to help them unlock the life they want to live.

I have spent many years searching for belonging in different cultures and groups of people, only to find it within myself. I love to work with people of color and hold an intersectional lens in the context of oppression and identity. I value kindness, curiosity, respect, empathy, inner-knowing, cultural humility, transparent communication, and the power of a relationship.
