Financial Therapy & Psychology for California Founders & Families
Board-certified expertise for the quiet friction of wealth in Silicon Valley, the Bay Area, and across the West Coast
In a landscape defined by innovation and rapid scale, the transition from 'building' to 'having' can create a profound internal shift. Whether you are navigating a Silicon Valley exit, managing the 'Golden Handcuffs' of a major tech firm, or facing the unique identity friction that comes with sudden wealth in the California market, the pressure to maintain both your success and your sanity is immense.
As a Board-Certified Psychologist (ABPP) and Certified Financial Therapist™, I provide a rare level of clinical and financial fluency for the West Coast professional. I work with founders, venture capitalists, and multi-generational families who are ready to move past the 'quiet friction' and align their wealth with their deepest values.
Specialized Support for the California Experience
Tech Founders & VCs: Processing the psychological fallout of IPOs, acquisitions, and the "What's Next?" phase.
Entertainment & Creative Wealth: Navigating the feast-or-famine cycles and identity shifts of the LA/Hollywood landscape.

A modern approach to integration
Traditional therapy often stops at the "what." We focus on the "how" - how your nervous system responds to financial stress, how your history shapes your current scripts, and how to align your wealth with your truest identity.
My practice is 100% virtual, offering secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth for busy professionals.
