You didn’t get to where you are by accident—but you still don’t always trust your own judgment. You reach career goals, support others, and look like you’ve got it all together, yet still feel stuck in self-doubt, burnout, or emotional patterns you thought you outgrew. I help high-achieving women untangle the perfectionism that leads to overwhelm, the fear that blocks boundaries, and the relationship struggles that leave them feeling alone—even when they’re not. I have a special interest in helping women who are seeking to turn their adhd into a superpower rather than a saboteur.
As a licensed therapist, relationship expert, and leadership consultant with over 20 years of experience. My work helps women strengthen their “inner leader”—that calm, clear voice inside that knows how to lead with confidence, in love, and in life.
This isn’t about becoming someone else—it’s about reconnecting with your most powerful self. Whether you’re navigating burnout, communication breakdowns, or just want more fulfillment, I teach practical, emotionally intelligent strategies to help you thrive in all areas of your life. Got a female-led company that could use some support? Reach out!
