Therapy for people in tech who want more than just coping.
I've spent years working with people in tech through burnout, ADHD, layoffs, and promotions that turned into a different job. I also studied Informatics, so we can spend less time translating jargon and more time on the real work.
Built for people who ship at a high level and pay a personal cost for it.
Most of my clients work in tech: software engineers, product managers, designers, data scientists, and founders, at seed-stage startups and at the biggest companies in the industry. I also work with people in finance, law, and medicine who live with the same kind of pressure.
They're doing well on paper. Privately they're dealing with anxiety, burnout, a review cycle that got under their skin, or a sense that the job they optimized for isn't the life they wanted.
I offer a confidential place where you can stop performing and we can talk about what the actual problems are. In my experience, dropping the mask is half the battle, and most of us have almost nowhere in our lives where we can.
See How I WorkComplete privacy. Including from work.
I work exclusively on a cash-pay basis, which means no insurance company has access to your records, your diagnosis, or even the fact that you're in therapy. No insurance filings. No diagnosis on file. Nothing accessible to an employer, a board, or a background check.
Many people in tech have therapy available through an employer program. Those are a reasonable place to start, and plenty of people would rather not use them: the session cap runs out right when things get going, the therapist is assigned by an algorithm, and the benefit sits one step from HR. Working with me privately means no cap, a therapist you chose, and no record that touches your employer.
Common reasons clients come to me
Burnout
You're still hitting your deliverables, but it takes everything you have, and the job never switches off.
Burnout therapy for people in techADHD
Your best work at 1am in a hyperfocus, nothing at 10am. Often masked by intelligence and brute effort, at a cost.
ADHD therapy for high achieversLayoffs & Job Insecurity
Reading every all-hands for tone, or already on the other side of a 9am lockout. Both are worth treating.
Therapy for layoff anxietyImposter Syndrome
You got the title and started waiting for someone to notice the mistake. Usually sharpest after a promotion or a move into management.
Imposter syndrome therapyAnxiety & Depression
Racing thoughts and difficulty switching off, or low motivation, flatness, and going through the motions. Often both, and often invisible from the outside.
Couples & Relationships
Two capable people running the relationship like a logistics operation, with the job as the third person in the room. Or a full life that still feels isolated.
