You made it here. Welcome.
The simplest thing I can tell you about me is this: I love deeply.
I love people, relationships, ideas, and the messy, beautiful experience of being human. I’m endlessly curious about what we want, what we’re afraid to want, and how we can love each other deeply and still make an absolute mess of things.
I’ve spent much of my life in relationship with longing, which may be why I recognize it so easily in others. I’ve come to see it less as evidence that something is missing and more as an invitation to listen.
I’m also a builder at heart. I love turning ideas into something real. My first business was a lemonade stand. My second was a pie company that somehow ended up being named one of the country’s best by Travel + Leisure. I have more ideas than time and an almost unreasonable curiosity about what might be possible.
What Lights Me Up the Most:
Building and Growth
I'm a Builder at Heart
I'm obsessed with turning ideas into reality. I live for creative problem-solving, design thinking, and stories like those on "How I Built This." Building is fun, but building something of real value, together, is intoxicating. My first business was a lemonade stand, my second a pie company voted one of the country's best by Travel & Leisure. I have more ideas than time, so I'm grateful I get to help you make something with yours.
The Practice of Growth
Human growth is endlessly fascinating to me — you should see my bookshelf. I’ve been through some tough stuff, and I’ve come out the other side. I trust that together, we can navigate your challenges. I consider being able to do so a gift. We are all so much more powerful than we realize.

On a Personal Note
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my family. My 4-year-old son is the raddest kid ever—he teaches me how to love with more compassion and live with more messiness. I'm married to Ben, whose kindness and electric spirit transform every room he walks into. He's my safe haven and constant mirror, and none of this would be possible without his love.
I thrive on movement and love to laugh—I even studied improv in LA. As a natural introvert, I need time to recharge, so you’ll often find me cozied up with a good book and a cup of tea.
