From addressing job-related stress and strengthening EQ to managing team dynamics and leadership challenges, our programs are crafted for the demands of high-performing leaders.
Leaders carry immense pressure that often goes unseen, navigating high-stakes decisions in isolation. Our psychologists understand the invisible realities because we’ve led through them, studied them deeply, and partnered closely with thousands of executives. Our clients are among the most capable leaders in the world; we treat them that way. Organizations call us when complexity, urgency, and discretion matter. Our approach moves beyond simple therapy and coaching. We recalibrate leaders’ internal architecture to handle real-world pressure—bringing clarity to decisions, emotional command under stress, and sharper, strategic action.

People seeking clarity around identity/self-image, career, creative potential, cross-cultural concerns, women’s/men’s issues, and executive function may find working with me to be particularly rewarding.
At its core, therapy is a conversation. Like a greenhouse, this specially crafted conversation we call “therapy” aims to nurture and ripen our words, thoughts, images, emotions, and sensations, all "vitals" of the mind, so that they can become useful in our growth journey, both inside and outside the therapy room. Within the protective bounds of therapy, we find a rare space to talk, enhanced by the luxury of time and undivided attention, an array of choices, the chance for “multiple takes,” and a pause button. It is also in this space where the invitation to discover our innermost self or play a completely new role lives.

I have particular specialties with clients struggling with: distressed or unrewarding work and family relationships; relationship coaching for executives; life and career transitions; prenuptial agreement counseling; financial therapy; inherited-wealth counseling; infidelity; discernment counseling (deciding to divorce or not); and divorce counseling;
Please note that all sessions are via tele-medicine. I believe that clients seeking counseling services desire tools for living a better life, and I strive to provide those tools. I do not push change on clients, but rather helps them articulate how they want their lives to be, and then collaboratively set out to put the foundation in place to create that life. I feel that clients gain the most from the counseling experience when they feel supported, encouraged, and understood by their therapist. This process works best in a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space, which I provide.

I specialize in business, spiritual, health/wellness, personal growth, relationships, & career.
We all need a little help sometimes, especially when it comes to journeys of self-discovery. Whether your goal is to be more confident or to find fulfillment in a passion project, it can be pretty tough to figure out how to get from point A (identifying a goal) to point B (actually going after and achieving that goal). That’s where a life coach comes in.
