Therapy & Executive Coaching for
Accomplished Professionals
I am a clinical psychologist with extensive experience in executive leadership roles in higher education and healthcare.
My current practice focuses on accomplished professionals and executive leaders in higher education, health care, law, and humanitarian aid organizations who are seeking a therapist who knows what happens to individuals in high stress work environment.
I also work with professionals who are planning a career transition or exploring how to embrace a satisfying retirement.
I provide a safe space for individuals seeking a highly skilled therapist who truly understands the impact of demanding professional roles, as well navigating unrelenting expectations and demands in the face of family pressures.
With a clinical and consulting practice that has spanned four continents I bring intercultural wisdom to my clients.
Previously I directed clinics serving victims of violence, served as Director of Clinical Training for doctoral psychology training programs and supervised countless therapists as they have launched their careers.
I have also been a professor, researcher, and executive leader including serving as a university president.

Services to Support You
Therapy Tailored for Accomplished Professionals & Executive Leaders
Devoting your life and career to the service of others while being incredibly accomplished does not exempt you from psychological distress. And, there is no quick fix, no manual or handbook for dealing with it. High achieving professionals are often unfamiliar with asking for help for personal issues and figuring out who to trust for help can be daunting.
My practice is specifically tailored to meet the needs of executive leaders and accomplished professionals because all services are delivered by a highly skilled clinical psychologist who also brings the perspective of having served as senior executive in higher education and health care sectors for over 15 years.
I bring a trauma informed approach to my practice. Emotional wounds and traumas from the past may have become reactivated by the stress of your work. In the safety of therapy these can be addressed and you can reclaim your peace and well-being.
Executive Coaching for Career Changers
If you are facing a career change because of an abrupt departure from your current position then executive career coaching may be just the support you need.
Abrupt departures are increasingly common across sectors, stemming from mass layoffs, unexpected firings, or resignations because of a toxic work environment. If this is your situation you are not alone.
As an executive coach I draw upon a life span development perspective. This provides you with an opportunity to systematically reflect on your strengths, areas of growth, career to date and your aspirations for the future.
Together I can support you to chart out a path forward building upon a vision for your future.
If embracing retirement brings up anxiety and fear then career coaching may be just the support you need to make it happen.
As your career coach I will help you re-imagine retirement from a life span development perpective. This will provide you with an opportunity to systematically reflect on your career successes and life achievements. This process is key to charting the path forward as you embrace a future of fulfillment building upon your rich career and previous accomplishments.
PS. It’s not about losing your professional identity, but rather about launching your next stage of human development.
