Sound familiar?

If you hear yourself in these, it may be time to transition from doing everything on your own to bringing in a strategic partner who can support you in defining and stepping toward where you want to be.

What we work on

Imposter syndrome

Stepping into the role you already earned.

Burnout

Catching it early, or finding your way back.

People decisions

Hiring, firing, managing, and the hard conversations in between.

Pressure from above

Investors, boards, and high-stakes expectations.

You, beyond the title

Identity, transitions, and what you want next.

How it works

  1. Free intro call

    20 minutes. You share your story and what you’re looking for, and we decide together if we’re a fit.

  2. Start with 3 Months

    Six 60-minute sessions every other week, plus text and voice-note support between them for the moments that can’t wait.

  3. A plan you keep

    We close with a written summary of what changed and what’s next.

I intentionally work with a small number of clients at a time to ensure you have my utmost attention and care.

Questions, answered

Who do you coach?

Founders, executives, and senior leaders at startups and growing companies who are building something meaningful and want to stay whole while doing it. Most are navigating growth, pressure, or a transition, and want space to think honestly about what comes next.

How is coaching with you different from therapy?

Therapy can support mental health, healing, and deeper emotional work. Coaching focuses on your goals, your leadership, and how you want to grow, at work and beyond. As a licensed therapist, I bring clinical depth to our conversations, but our work together is coaching, not therapy. If therapy feels like the right next step, I can help point you toward care.

What does a coaching engagement include?

We start with three months together: six 60-minute sessions, meeting every other week, plus text and voice-note support between sessions. At the end, you’ll receive a written summary of what’s shifted and what’s next.

What if I want to continue beyond three months?

Absolutely. Three months is a starting point, and we can keep working together if it feels right. As we approach the end of our initial engagement, we’ll talk about what would be most useful and agree on what comes next together.

How much does coaching cost?

The three-month engagement is $6,000 paid in full, or three monthly payments of $2,100.

How do we get started?

Do you speak at events or run team workshops?

Yes. I give keynotes and lead workshops on mental health, leadership, burnout, and imposter syndrome. I also take on a small number of advisory roles. Explore speaking and workshops.
