You’ve been killing it in business—leading with confidence and overcoming all obstacles, but now you’re stuck living through personal crisis…
… and you know this time you can’t handle it on your own.
I work with business owners, high-net-worth individuals, and high-profile leaders who are living through personal crisis.
They are confronting situations that scare the crap out of them—whether it’s feeling stuck in life or dealing with something as serious as criminal charges.
Together, we will first attack and mitigate the immediate problem and then create the life you want—a better, more exceptional life than you ever thought possible.
Having weathered my own massive personal tragedies, I didn’t just survive—I figured out how to come out stronger, more connected, and more resilient.
Now, I’ve combined everything I learned, along with the research I’ve done as a developmental psychologist and my personal business success —
And the result is a mindset and crisis coaching practice to guide you through whatever is currently hitting your fan.
After using all the money we’d saved for our wedding to put a down payment on a low-producing orthodontic practice, I was determined to make it work.
My husband took care of patient care, and I handled operations. Even though I initially knew nothing about running a business, I hustled — joining my local Entrepreneur Organization, reading a mountain of business books, and hiring several consultants and coaches.
I created robust systems, built a capable team, and developed scalable marketing and sales processes.
Fast-forward seven years, and the work paid off.
We sold the practice for a 10x multiple. I then re-invested the proceeds—plus what I’d learned—to build several other businesses: a digital dental lab, a 3D printing business, a real estate holding company, and a nonprofit Montessori School.
I loved running my businesses—overcoming challenges was what I lived for. And at the time, it felt like my businesses – and life – couldn’t get any better. I didn’t once think living through personal crisis was something I had in store for my future.
After a painfully idiotic string of events orchestrated by two sloppy criminal defense attorneys I had unfortunately hired, my husband was publicly arrested while returning from a New Year’s trip to Portugal.
Subsequently, he was charged with horrific allegations with massive legal, financial, and personal implications. (None of the allegations have been substantiated by any evidence. I’m not going into more details here because it’s a convoluted story and beside the point.)
At that moment, I ignorantly thought I could ‘fix’ what would become the biggest, most complex problem I’ve ever faced.
Within days, every area of my life began to crumble. The national media ran wild with falsehoods. My bank froze all of my accounts. Some of my closest family and friends were nowhere to be found. I had to put the custom home I had just finished building on the market. And as a result of everything, my marriage and the family we built imploded.
It might sound like I’m exaggerating, but the truth is – the only thing that kept me from putting a gun in my mouth was knowing that my infant son and toddler daughter needed me.
Realizing that ending my life wasn’t an option, I defaulted to acting on unvetted advice from folks just looking out for themselves. I trusted my 3D printing business partner when he suggested I temporarily step back as COO—only to be cut entirely out of the business, which he then bankrupted. I hired an exceptionally stupid real-estate agent who convinced me to sell my house for about 70% of its value.
What’s worse, my biggest strengths up until then turned into my biggest weaknesses:
My reliance on grit, creativity, quick actions, and working harder no longer worked.
So after about a year of losing millions of dollars to my mistakes and feeling like a total failure, I was done being a basic bitch. I had to get smarter.
I focused on what I could control—shifting my mindset and taking smarter, more intentional actions. I committed to trauma recovery, diving into hundreds of journal articles and completing intensive therapy, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
Then, I took a hard look at my life. I evaluated everything that wasn’t aligned with my values and goals and made the difficult, time-consuming changes needed to rebuild with purpose.
And now, on the other side of it, my new life is pretty great –
Every morning, I wake up ready to conquer the day. Challenges still come—plenty of them—but now, I face them with unshakable confidence. Whatever crosses my path, I handle it. The opportunities and freedom I’ve embraced are beyond what I ever thought possible. And if you think I’ve gone soft, think again—I still attack each day harder than ever.
I’m the person to call when you feel like your life is falling apart and no one else can help you. I will guide you to avoid my mistakes and progress more quickly.
If you want to learn more about how I can help you via my coaching:
Outside of coaching, I spend 99% of my time with my adorable, energetic tiny humans—I’m both their trampoline and personal pony. They are my entire world.
When I manage to escape, I love traveling with my genuinely exceptional friends.
I’m also deeply passionate about equity in early education. I co-founded a nonprofit Montessori school that provides high-quality educational opportunities to families who wouldn’t otherwise have access.
