Advisory

Private advisory for executives, founders, and cofounders.

At a certain level, the variable that separates good from exceptional isn't strategy, capital, or connections. It's the mind running all of it.

Who it's for

Leaders who are already performing well and know the stakes of their decisions are rising: executives, founders, investors, and finance professionals. The work happens one-on-one, or with cofounders together.

Working one-on-one

For the leader who wants a trusted, confidential thinking partner. We work on:

  • How you decide under pressure, and the patterns that quietly distort judgment

  • Blind spots in how you lead, delegate, and communicate

  • Stress responses that cost you clarity when it matters most

  • High-stakes moments: a transition, a negotiation, a difficult hire or exit, a board dynamic

Working with cofounders

The same lens, applied to one of the most consequential partnerships in business, and one of the least supported. Most advisors work with one person at a time. My background in couples and family therapy means I also work with the relationship itself: the dynamic between you, and the patterns that show up under pressure. Cofounders often come to me when:

  • You disagree on vision, roles, or who has the final say

  • Trust has worn down after a hard quarter, a fundraise, or a pivot

  • Conversations have become tense, avoidant, or routed through other people

  • Imbalances in equity, workload, or recognition are going unspoken

  • You're deciding whether to restructure, or how to part ways well

We meet together and, when useful, one-on-one. The goal is a partnership that can carry the weight of the company.

How it works

Advisory is an ongoing, confidential relationship, not a program. We meet on a cadence that fits your schedule, and you have access to me when something important is in front of you. The work draws on a proprietary framework combining behavioral strategy with a clinical psychology lens.

This is not coaching. This is not therapy.
It's a sharper operating system for the way you think, decide, and lead.
