quietly questioning your worth.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, entrepreneur, executive coach, and keynote speaker who has spent a career living and working at the intersection of shame, self-worth, and what it actually takes to lead without losing yourself in the process.

In 2018, I built Pittsburgh's largest and most recognized affirming group therapy practice from the ground up. By every external measure, it was success. A multi-million dollar a year operation with a 30+ person team. Marginalized communities across the state finally having a place that saw them fully. I was proud of every inch of it.

But, if I’m being honest, I was also sort of… miserable. For quite a long time. As we continued to expand exponentially, year after year, it continued to feel less and less aligned.

Then I lost it. Publicly, completely, and in the most humbling way possible. I then rebuilt—both personally and professionally. Intentionally, on my own terms, with everything I’d learned.

I have personally stress-tested everything I speak on and work with folks about in some of the hardest conditions available. That combination—clinical training, unfiltered lived proof, and zero interest in sugarcoating what actually drives human behavior—is what makes this work different and goes further than most therapists, coaches, and speakers are willing to go.
