For Executives & Leaders
Performance Under Pressure
High-achieving leaders come to me when pressure is relentless, focus is fragmented, health is compromised, and success starts to feel unsustainable. Through performance psychology coaching, I help executives sharpen decision-making, regulate stress, build emotional discipline, and lead with clarity—without burning out the rest of their life.
Best For:Â CEOs, founders, senior leaders, physicians, attorneys, and high performers facing chronic pressure, transition, or plateau.
EXECUTIVE COACHING & PERFORMANCE WORKFor Parents of College (and College Bound) Students
From Fixing to Confident Parenting
If your college student (or college bound student) is overwhelmed, burned out, or shutting down—and you’re exhausted from trying to fix everything—I help you shift from panic and micromanaging to calm, strategic support that builds independence, confidence, and real-world resilience.
This is where Fix-It Fatigue ends and clear direction begins.
Best For: Parents of struggling, anxious, or high-potential college students.

Rebuild. Regain Momentum & Confidence. Perform.

College is demanding more than most students were prepared for—mentally, emotionally, and structurally. I help students rebuild after burnout or a bad semester, prepare for college adjustment, strengthen executive functioning, develop emotional intelligence, and create the habits required for academic and life success.
Best For:Â Students struggling with motivation, stress, direction, confidence, or performance.
