The Narrative

Heritage of Grit,
Future of Flow.

Raised in Eugene (1988) by an East German chemical engineer and a Mexican electrical engineer, technology was my native language. I began coding at 14 and spent my early career founding startups, freelancing, and teaching in the CIS department at Mt. Hood Community College before deciding to shift my focus toward human services.

In 2017, I pivoted to counseling, cutting my teeth in high-acuity environments like Residential Drug treatment and the Lane County Jail. I value the honesty and grit found in these settings—so much so that I continue to work shifts at the jail today alongside my private practice.

During my transition, I realized many talented clinicians and founders were being held back from independence by technical and business hurdles. This sparked a passion for supporting the "underdog," whether in the therapy field or the broader startup landscape. I enjoy helping small businesses navigate the tech side of their work so they can focus on their actual missions.

Today, I balance seeing private clients with running a software branch dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build sustainable operations. This dual path allows me to bring my full self to the table: the analytical precision of an engineer, the perspective of a counselor, and a commitment to the success of independent business owners.

The Process

From Intake to Authority

A calibrated five-phase framework designed to transform clinical practitioners into high-authority thought leaders through technical excellence and neuro-aesthetic design.

Diagnosis before prescription. Just as you wouldn't treat a client without a biopsychosocial assessment, I don't build a marketing strategy without a forensic audit of your business. I begin with a deep-dive "Intake Session" to identify the fractures in your current funnel.

I analyze your "Digital Vitals": site speed, mobile responsiveness, and domain authority. But more importantly, I audit your market position.

Deliverables

  • Full Technical Site Audit
  • Competitor Gap Analysis
  • Ideal Client Profile (ICP) Mapping

The Clinical Audit & Intake

Building digital rapport. Before a client ever hears your voice, they "feel" your brand. In the therapy space, trust is the currency.

I craft a "Digital Waiting Room." Does your website feel chaotic and cluttered (signaling stress)? Or does it feel spacious, organized, and calm?

Deliverables

  • Visual Brand Identity System
  • Neuro-Aesthetic UX Design
  • Cross-Platform Assets

Neuro-Aesthetic Blueprint

High-Intent Architecture. A website is useless if it's an island. I build an interconnected ecosystem.

I deploy "Intent-Based SEO." Instead of chasing vanity metrics, I optimize for clients in crisis looking for specific solutions.

Deliverables

  • Full-Stack Website Development
  • Local SEO & Map Pack Optimization
  • Directory Synchronization

The Digital Ecosystem

The burnout killer. You didn't go to grad school to become a scheduler, a biller, or a receptionist.

I set up ethical, HIPAA-compliant AI systems that act as your invisible support staff. Imagine an inquiry form that qualifies leads automatically.

Deliverables

  • Automated Inquiry Workflows
  • AI-Assisted Content Strategy
  • Admin Friction Reduction

Agentic Flow & Scale

From Provider to Thought Leader. The final phase is about shifting from "chasing clients" to "curating a waitlist."

I strategize for legacy. Whether that means expanding into a group practice or having the freedom to take Fridays off.

Deliverables

  • Niche Pillar Content Strategy
  • Scalability Consulting
  • Long-Term Growth Roadmap
