About My Clients

Do you feel like you’re doing everything “right” but still end up anxious, exhausted, or quietly asking, “What’s wrong with me?” You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. The hyper-connected world we’ve created is overwhelming to us. I work with thoughtful, high-achieving teens, adults, and parents who are burned out by modern life’s demands. Whether it’s tech overload, parenting stress, or a deeper disconnection, I’ll help you slow down, get grounded, and reconnect with what truly matters.

My Background and Approach

I'm a licensed psychologist with over 25 years of experience helping people navigate anxiety, burnout, and existential stress in a rapidly changing world. I'm the author of "Tech Generation: Raising Balanced Kids in a Hyper-Connected World" and blog for Psychology Today under “Tech Happy Life.” I specialize in helping high-achieving teens, adults, and parents who feel overwhelmed by the pace of life, digital overload, or a nagging sense that something essential is missing. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with mindfulness, cognitive tools, and timeless wisdom. I’ll help you develop practical skills for managing anxiety and stress while also exploring the deeper patterns and pressures driving your distress. We’ll work collaboratively to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with what really matters—so you can move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and peace. I’m not here to fix you. I’m here to walk with you as you remember who you are beneath the noise.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe we’re not broken—the world has just become misaligned with our deepest human needs. Much of our suffering is a natural response to an unnatural world. I don’t view people through diagnostic labels or ideological lenses. I see people as fellow travelers—doing their best to find clarity, connection, and meaning in a chaotic age. My core values are truth, compassion, and unity. I believe we all long for the same things: security, connection, purpose, happiness, and love. I founded the One Unity Project to explore how technology can help us reconnect with what matters most—ourselves, each other, and the world we share. I’m curious, open-minded, and spiritually grounded without being religious. I believe in asking big questions, listening deeply, and living with integrity. We may not have all the answers, but we’re not meant to walk this path alone. And we must remember that "Not all those who wander are lost." You might be just where you need to be to get where you need to go.
