I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and provide coaching and therapy for founders and creatives.

I’ve been an entrepreneur, an aid worker, an advertising executive, and a professional athlete. I’ve moved 15 times, broken 16 bones, had two kids, and failed spectacularly on multiple occasions.

Here’s what I’ve learned: change is inevitable, yet unexpected. If you’re considering a change, in the midst of one, or in need of one, I’m here to help you navigate it with more clarity, joy, and humanity.
