My mission is simple.

We can and we must create new ways of promoting mental health at scale: effectively, compassionately, and affordably.

About Me

I’m a Stanford University trained psychologist working at the intersection of mental health and technology. I bring a deep understanding of human behavior to my work, drawing from clinical psychology, contextual behaviorism, and design thinking.

I have a passion for discovering creative solutions to complex challenges, and I love applying my clinical and scientific training to help teams chart pathways to success. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of the greatest teams on earth to build engaging, effective digital health tools.

I apply evidence-based behavior change processes toward developing new technologies, improving systems, and leading teams. Drawing on my training as a psychotherapist, I imbue my approach with genuine curiosity, compassion, and a spirit of collaboration. My professional experiences in venture-backed startup, university-based research, healthcare delivery, and private consulting come together to shape my unique perspective.

Are you using technology to help humans live better lives? Let’s build something great together.
