The story

I built a career and followed a path that looked exactly right from the outside.

Graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania. A fast-tracked rise at a four-billion-dollar public health nonprofit — from web manager to Director of Internal Communications, a role I spent three years building the case for before they gave me the title. Recruited to establish a communications function at another nonprofit. Ambitious. Promoted. Rewarded.

And all the while, I was keeping something out of the building.

Not my intellect. Not my drive. Those I wore openly. What I kept hidden was the other part — the part that reads tarot and believes in energy and knows in her bones that there are dimensions to human potential that can't be measured in a spreadsheet.

I had learned to lead with what would be believed and keep the rest for myself.

It worked. Until it didn't.

When I left to build my coaching business, I thought I was finally free to show up as all of it. And still, I brought the self-editing with me. The strategic presentation. The carefully curated version of myself that would be taken seriously.

My clients got real results. And I was the one staying small — charging a fraction of what I was worth, keeping the best parts of myself just out of view, wondering what was wrong with my offer.

It never occurred to me that I was doing to myself exactly what I was helping my clients stop doing.

I'd been doing deep inner work for years — long before I became a coach. Shadow work. Subconscious reprogramming. The kind of excavation that doesn't happen in a weekend workshop. And still, it took time to see my own pattern clearly.

What I found, when I finally did: a story. One I'd been carrying so long it felt like fact. A story about what happens when women like me get too visible, want too much, take up too much space.

Sound familiar?

The work

The block is never what you think it is.

It's not your strategy. Not the gap in your skill set or the fact that you haven't found the right system yet.

It's a story — one that got lodged before you even knew it was there — and it has been quietly organizing everything since. Running underneath your decisions. Capping your income. Keeping the fullest version of you just slightly out of reach.

I find it. We rewrite it — and do the neural rewiring so it actually sticks. Then you step into what's next — unapologetically, joyfully, for good.

This is the work that makes everything else work.

A few more things

Home base is Washington, DC, where I live with my husband Michael — a professor and writer — and our two brilliant daughters.

Doing good in the world and making real money are not in conflict. Full stop.

Tarot, energy, neural rewiring, clear strategy, and the uncomfortable true thing when it matters — all of it lives here.

This work is not about helping you perform better. It's about helping you stop performing altogether — and finding out what's possible when you show up as all of it.
