Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D.) · Mentor · Trainer · Coach
I’m on a mission. It’s personal.
Early in my career, I had debilitating speaking anxiety and had to figure out how to overcome it. I know how painful it is — it put my career and life goals on hold for over a decade. Then I attended a public speaking phobia program that was transformative. I went on to become an executive in major corporations and tech startups where I continually faced high-pressure speaking situations.
In this program, I’ve combined my own experience with scientific research to explain why panic happens and how to get unstuck. No matter what level of anxiety you have, it is possible to get better.
The thing I hear most from clients: “You’re the first professional I’ve talked to that gets it.”
I work as a coach — not as a licensed therapist.
