Bridging rigorous science with deep, soulful wisdom
Bridging rigorous science with deep, soulful wisdom
I know what it takes to operate at the highest levels of achievement, and I intimately understand the profound exhaustion that comes from holding it all together for everyone else.
My journey has been defined by a deep curiosity about human growth. After earning my Ph.D. in Human Development and Family Sciences, I stepped into the academic world, securing a tenure-track professor position at twenty-seven and rising to chair a psychology department by thirty-three. I have also served on the ground as an executive director in education, navigating the intense, daily complexities of organizational leadership and team dynamics.
I know how to hustle, how to achieve, and how to meet the "gold standard." But I also know that eventually, the very strategies that get us to the top become the exact patterns keeping us stuck, disconnected, and burned out.
Moving Beyond the "Achiever" Mindset
Traditional success models teach us to push harder and optimize our time, but true transformation requires a different kind of capacity. I transitioned from academia into full-time coaching because I wanted to guide high-achievers through the messy, beautiful process of moving beyond surface-level life hacks.
My work is designed for those who crave real substance. I help clients navigate into later stages of adult development (utilizing frameworks like STAGES International) and cultivate their metaware capacities. We do not just look at your goals; we look at the lens through which you view your entire life.
A Path of Integration and Wisdom
I believe that our most challenging, painful experiences can be transformed into deep wisdom. As a certified meditation teacher and practitioner of somatic tools, I integrate body-based wisdom with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you map your inner world. We move away from fighting your inner critic and toward leading your parts with genuine compassion.
Whether I am working 1:1 with a client or facilitating a corporate leadership retreat, my goal is to create a grounded, expansive container where you can seek genuine truth, heal your nervous system, and step into what is next for you.
