Approach

In Kevin’s words

My commitment to you is to offer a sanctuary: a place where difficult topics can be explored openly, with respect and without judgment.

Preparing for marriage or navigating the demands of the corporate world can both feel like full-time jobs. I work with motivated individuals and couples who are ready to create meaningful change, whether that means building a strong foundation for marriage, exploring a career shift, or simply improving their day-to-day life.

In our sessions, we’ll address the challenges that matter most to you, from aligning goals and managing conflict to navigating workplace stress, career transitions, and life balance. I understand the pressures that come with being a working professional: I worked in tech before becoming a therapist. It’s interesting how many clients share similar struggles, and I want you to know: you’re seen.

My approach is warm, respectful, and collaborative. I provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can openly explore tough topics, gain new perspectives, and develop practical tools for lasting change. Whether we’re planning for your wedding, mapping out your next career move, or strengthening your personal growth, our work will be tailored to your unique needs, with your feedback guiding every step.

This is about more than solving today’s problems. It’s about creating a foundation for a fulfilling life and relationships that thrive in every season.

From a career in tech to founding a practice

Kevin left tech to become a therapist, then built Soulstice on a simple belief: good care depends on supporting the clinicians who provide it.
