A Question that Started it All
A Question that Started it All
My career has always been driven by a deep passion for solving complex challenges at the intersection of mental health, technology, and human experience. It began in the therapy room, where I sat across from individuals navigating some of life’s most profound challenges. As a licensed psychotherapist, I learned that mental health isn’t just about solving problems—it’s about understanding people. I saw the gaps in care firsthand: the limitations of one-on-one sessions, the barriers to access, and the systemic issues that kept so many from living full, connected lives. These experiences sparked a deeper question: What if we could build solutions that didn’t just treat symptoms but addressed the root causes of disconnection, stress, and inequity?

Pioneering New Paths
Pioneering New Paths
Eager to push the boundaries of what was possible, I entered the startup world as a co-founder of ventures like SoHeart and AwareHealth. These platforms weren’t just products—they were bold experiments in rethinking how we approach mental health. From building peer-to-peer recovery networks to launching a B2B social mental health platform, I learned how to transform ideas into scalable, impactful tools that empower individuals and challenge the status quo.

Through every role, one belief has remained constant: We need to think bigger. Mental health isn’t just a clinical issue—it’s a societal one. The solutions we need require us to address the underlying challenges of our time, from financial stress to loneliness, from lack of purpose to inequity. My mission is to build systems and products that empower individuals to not only survive but thrive.

My mission is to build systems and products that empower individuals to not only survive but thrive.
As I look to the future, my vision is clear: to be at the forefront of human-centered innovation, where technology is a tool for empowerment, not a replacement for empathy. The next chapter in my career is about leading transformative projects that redefine what’s possible in mental health and beyond. It’s about aligning technology, strategy, and heart to tackle some of the most pressing issues of our time.
