Better outcomes begin with a fresh perspective.
Three worlds. One perspective.
BACKGROUND
I began my career in education, working in classrooms and later training teachers on culture and leadership. Very quickly, one truth became clear: outcomes weren’t driven by curriculum alone. They were shaped by psychological safety, trust, and the emotional climate of the room. When those conditions were present, people thrived. When they weren’t, nothing else worked. That pattern stayed consistent everywhere I looked, so I went deeper.
I trained as a therapist and spent years sitting with people in their most vulnerable moments learning to hear what wasn’t being said, to read subtle dynamics, and to recognize the patterns beneath behavior. Stress, belief systems, and unresolved dynamics drive most decisions and behavior. Once you know how to see those forces, you can’t unsee them.
As an entrepreneur and advisor to founders and leaders, I started seeing the same patterns now playing out in boardrooms and growing companies. Most challenges weren’t based on strategy alone, but in the form of miscommunication, misalignment, and cultures stretched past their limits. The problems looked operational on the surface, but they were human underneath.
Today, my work sits at the intersection of those three worlds. I bring a systems-level lens, a deep understanding of human behavior, and a strategic approach to leadership to help leaders build healthy businesses and teams.
Where psychology meets performance
WHAT I BRING
I Design for Real Change
From my background in education, I know how to create conditions where people actually integrate new ways of thinking and working. Transformation isn't about information. It's about implementation.
I Read People
From my clinical training, I see what's beneath the surface: the patterns, pressures, and beliefs shaping behavior. I help leaders recognize what’s really driving their decisions, relationships, and communication.
I Understand Business Realities
From my work in organizations and alongside founders, I understand the real constraints: budget, timeline, competing priorities. My approach is practical, strategic, and built to move the needle.
Credentials & Training
Clinical depth, systems thinking, and nearly two decades of experience across education, psychotherapy, and leadership development
Masters in Education
Masters in Clinical Mental Health
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)

Gottman Level 1 & 2 Trained
Advanced training in attachment, nervous system regulation, and somatic work
Based in Atlanta, I work with clients across the U.S. through consulting, workshops, and advisory partnerships. Note: While I am a licensed therapist, executive coaching is not the same as therapy. For those with more serious clinical concerns, this work is not for you.
The result is a rare blend of psychological depth, strategic thinking, and practical leadership experience allowing me to support both the person and the system they lead.
My Story
For most of my life, I was someone who could carry a lot. Responsibility came naturally. I saw what needed to be done and did it. I stayed composed, moved quickly, and held high standards for myself and everyone around me.
From the outside, it looked like strength, but over time, I learned something many high-achievers learn the hard way: willpower isn’t sustainable leadership.
Eventually, my body forced a reset. Burnout has a way of doing that. That season changed everything. I began studying stress, attachment, and nervous system regulation. I wanted to understand what actually drives performance, resilience, and clear thinking under pressure.
Because what I saw around me didn’t match the advice most leaders were given. Smart, capable people were still exhausted, talented teams were still misaligned, and good strategies were still failing.
The issue wasn’t effort. It was physiology, patterns, and the invisible emotional climate created by the person at the top.
I started recognizing the same dynamics everywhere from leadership teams, businesses, classrooms, and families. Capable people overriding themselves, decisions made from reactive states, and cultures shaped less by strategy and more by stress.
The cost was always the same: burnout, miscommunication, and unnecessary friction. That realization fundamentally reshaped how I think about success. Slowing down didn’t dull my edge.
It sharpened it. Because when a leader is grounded and regulated, everything improves from their thinking, their relationships, and the environment they create around them.
That’s the lens I bring to my work today. It’s not about pushing harder. It’s about leading more effectively.
You're a whole person.
Your leadership doesn’t exist separately from your life. Your mindset shapes your strategy. Your nervous system shapes your decisions. You're one integrated person, and we work on all of it together. Because sustainable performance requires solid foundation.
Success is personal.
There’s no universal definition of success only the one that’s true for you. My role is to help you get clear on what actually matters, then build a business and life that support it without constant sacrifice.
Deep work requires real attention.
I intentionally work with a limited number of clients each year. Meaningful change requires bandwidth, presence, and genuine care. I choose depth over volume every time.
Clarity is closer than you think.
My job isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you quiet the noise, think clearly, and lead with confidence so your team feels the difference.
What I believe matters.
