About

My Story

A website is often the first impression someone has of you. I think a lot about that moment: what they read, what they feel, and whether it gives them the confidence to reach out.

Where It Meets

Why I build websites for therapists

I studied Psychology at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles because I wanted to understand how people think, make decisions, and respond to their environment. I still carry that same curiosity about human behavior in everything I build.

In 2025, I started experimenting with web development. What began as curiosity turned into late nights building things I couldn't stop thinking about. Then it clicked: therapists spend their careers understanding people, and a website done right can actually reflect that depth. I realized I could use what I know about human behavior and decision-making to help therapists build a presence that actually reflects who they are. That's where both worlds meet.

Now I build websites for therapists who want to stand out and be found by the right people. The best websites come from real understanding, and that starts with genuinely getting to know the person behind the practice.

Process

How I work

I overprepare. I'd rather spend extra time understanding your goals than jump into design and realize halfway through that we're building the wrong thing. That also means I don't hand you a blank document and ask you to figure out your own copy. I run the kickoff call, I ask the questions, and I do the writing. You bring your story. I bring the structure.

I listen before I build

Before I open any design tool, I want to understand your practice, your clients, and what matters most to you. That foundation shapes every decision I make.

Detail-oriented to a fault

I notice when spacing is off, when a button doesn't feel right, when copy flow loses momentum. Small details add up to something that feels polished.

I think about the person on the other side

Every section, every word, every layout decision is made with your future client in mind. What they're feeling when they search for a therapist, what builds trust, what makes them finally reach out. That's the lens everything gets filtered through.

Off the Clock

When I'm not working

Three weeks of 2025 were spent in China exploring places most people have never heard of. Zhangjiajie, remote mountain towns, places that felt completely removed from anything familiar. That trip genuinely changed how I see the world and the people in it.

I've also spent time in Japan, Argentina, France, the Seychelles, and across Southeast Asia over the past couple of years. Travel, for me, is about the same thing as design: paying attention to how people live and what makes somewhere feel like itself.

When I'm home, I love going on walks with Paisley, teaching myself something new in the kitchen, and finding a great show to get completely absorbed in. Currently working my way through Mad Men.
