I coach high-performers, ambitious leaders and entrepreneurs who feel stuck, overworked, or undervalued to break free from the grind and build lives aligned with their deepest values.

Lives rooted in freedom, purpose, and connection.

I didn’t arrive at this work by following a clear path.

I built it from the inside out.

I grew up in a blue-collar family in rural Pennsylvania, navigating instability and a turbulent home life that taught me early on how to survive by overworking, staying vigilant, and burning myself out, but not how to feel safe or thrive.

By my late teens, I was unhoused, living out of my car, deep in the late-’90s East Coast rave scene…self-medicating with whatever numbed the hurt.

Then came a few near-life experiences.
Some hard conversations.
A few close friends dying.
Witnessing 9/11 with my bare eyes.

Moments that cracked through the chaos and made me choose:

Keep disappearing and self sabotaging, or start rebuilding something new.

I chose the slow, painful road back to myself.

Over time, I earned degrees.
Launched my first business in my 20s.
Taught at top universities and colleges in New York.

Then I spent 13 years in big tech, leading global initiatives, mentoring top global talent, leading mindfulness programs and eventually…

Burning out under the weight of it all.

On paper, I had everything: The title, the house, the savings, the 401k, the healthcare, the reputation.

But underneath? I was unraveling.

Anxiety.
Sleep disorders.
Self medicating.
Chronic gut issues.

All signs of a misaligned life.

I had optimized for success, for safety, and for income… and lost connection with what actually mattered.

I wasn’t thriving. I was surviving, stuck in on autopilot wearing golden handcuffs that only I had the key to, if I could just find the courage to use it.

That’s when I realized I needed to learn to finally stop performing success…and start practicing alignment.
