A Personal Journey

Transformative Moment

Personal loss became a catalyst for profound professional transformation

Shifted focus from clinical psychology to transformational coaching

Discovered a deeper path to helping others through personal growth

Fifteen years ago, my father took his own life. That crisis cracked open my heart and transformed the way I looked at my profession. While painful, crises invite us back into alignment with the highest and best of ourselves. I began down a path of self-awareness that I had not yet traveled.

I have always found my work as a clinical psychologist both meaningful and gratifying. However, being with people at their worst, and routinely hearing their heart wrenching stories became unsustainable for me. I found myself searching for equanimity in the face of broken heartedness all around me.

I transitioned to the role of a coach and consultant where I could apply my years of training and experience to different ways of working with different kinds of people. I trained in personal and executive coaching, studying with some of the best and brightest.

I doubled back and incorporated what I had learned in business school as an undergraduate. I studied the crossover between business, money, and psychology. I read. I meditated. I listened. I learned. As a result, my clients started waking up to seeing themselves in a new way as well.

The people I work with today are high performing individuals who are creating what is next for them. Whether you're a founder, a seasoned executive, or someone searching for what's next, the ultimate goal is joy, success, and a deep sense of purpose.

When the tectonic plates are shifting beneath our feet, it is hard to remember that there is a thread of genius, power, and responsiveness that runs through our lives. My signature strengths are my ability to see core truths and my way to speak in a way that touches people deeply.
