Helping high-performers thrive as their real, whole selves
Tech leader turned Therapist and Coach
A few years ago, at the peak of my career as a Product Growth consultant, I made a decision to dedicate several years training to become a therapist.
Today, I'm a licensed psychotherapist who's also spent 18 years in tech, working with 50+ companies, building products, leading growth, training thousands of people. Product Growth is my career. Helping people is my calling.
I specialize in the challenges high-performers in tech face: self-doubt, leadership anxiety, identity shifts, career crossroads. The reason is simple: I deeply understand the problem. I speak both languages fluently. I can talk about psychological patterns as comfortably as I can about stakeholders, metrics, and growth strategies.
And I genuinely want to help.
Hybrid of Psychotherapy and Coaching
I don't separate the inner work from the outer work because in reality, they're inseparable.
When you're facing a career decision, leadership challenge or strategic crossroads, there are always two layers: the practical question in front of you, and the psychological patterns driving how you see it. Most people get help with one or the other. I work with both.
I'm not dogmatic about therapy vs. coaching. Some situations need deep psychological exploration. Others need strategic thinking or career guidance. Most need both. I offer what the situation actually requires, sometimes therapy, sometimes coaching, sometimes business strategy, depending on what will actually move you forward.
My approach is actionable, but I don't believe in rushing to decisions before understanding what's underneath them. Quick fixes don't last. Real change comes from identifying the motives, causes, and patterns driving your stuck points, then building solutions from there.
It takes slightly longer upfront. It works significantly better long-term.
What will happen (in plain english)
High performers don't lack drive but clarity. They are dealing with too much noise, too many options, unclear motives and the nagging sense that something is off but you can't quite name it.
This is why the hybrid Psychotherapy / Coaching that I offer model matters.
Coaching assumes you already know what you want and why. Most people don't. Not really. And when that clarity is missing, any solution from a coach, no matter how well-intentioned, can feel promising at first but hollow later, because the emotional need behind the goal was never understood.
Psychotherapy, at least the way I practice it, gives you the psychological thinking you were never taught: how to understand your motives, your patterns, what you're afraid of, and the quiet forces actually shaping your decisions. Once you can read yourself clearly, coaching becomes ten times more effective. And easier to commit to.
This work is online, structured, and not endless. Most people reach strong clarity and direction in about 12 weeks. Sometimes less, sometimes more. The goal isn't to keep you here forever. It's to help you see yourself accurately so you can move forward with confidence and actually know what comes next.
This is the part of the journey most people skip. And it's the part that makes everything else work.

FAQs
Is this therapy or coaching?
It's both, in sequence. We start with psychotherapy to help you understand your motives, patterns, and what's actually driving your decisions. Once you have that clarity, coaching becomes far more effective because you know what you're working toward and why.
Why not directly coaching?
Coaching assumes you already know what you want and why. Most high performers don't. Without that foundation, prescribed solutions can feel promising at first but empty later because the emotional need behind the goal was never understood.
Does it mean something is wrong with me if I start therapy?
No. It means you're dealing with something difficult and you want help working through it intelligently.
High-performers in tech face specific psychological pressures, imposter syndrome, identity loss when roles shift, chronic stress that looks like "just how it is." None of this means you're broken. It means you're human, operating in an intense environment, and you'd rather address patterns now than wait until they break something important.
Therapy isn't for people who are "wrong." It's for people who want to understand themselves better and move forward more effectively.
Is there confidentiality?
Yes. Everything we discuss is confidential and protected by law. I'm bound by professional ethics and legal requirements around client privacy.
The only exceptions are situations where there's imminent risk of harm to yourself or others, or if a court orders disclosure, both extremely rare. Otherwise, what we talk about stays between us.
How long our engagement will last?
Most people reach strong clarity and direction in about 12 weeks. Sometimes less, sometimes more. This isn't designed to be endless, the goal is to help you see yourself accurately so you can move forward.
How long is a typical session?
50 minutes.
Is this online or in-person?
It’s online and structured.
What's the difference between working with you vs. another therapist?
I have 18 years in tech and I'm a licensed psychotherapist. Most therapists don't understand product roadmaps, stakeholder politics or what it's like to ship under pressure. Most coaches don't have training to work with deeper psychological patterns.
I speak both languages fluently, so we don't waste time translating your world or oversimplifying the psychology.
How do I know if we're a good fit?
Book the free consultation. Chemistry matters in therapy. If it doesn't feel right in that first conversation, I'll tell you, and I'm happy to refer you to someone better suited.
