High-Performance Coach & Licensed Therapist
Bio
๐๐ก๐จ ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก I work with high-functioning people in tech experiencing high functioning burnout, fatigue, anxiety, self-doubt while the stakes are high. Donโt expect productivity hacks, cheerleading, or generic self-care. ๐๐ก๐จ ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก I work with high-performing tech founders and executives who are caught in an exhausting cycle of shame-driven success. You are chasing genuine fulfillment, but instead, you are experiencing high-functioning burnout, secret avoidance loops when you feel overwhelmed, and heavy emotional fatigue even when the stakes are high. Donโt expect productivity hacks, cheerleading, or generic self-care. I help people identify and break the deep-rooted mechanisms theyโre trapped inโunresolved trauma, deep-seated shame, and a dysregulated nervous systemโso they can improve their well-being and quality of life without the constant fear of collapsing. ๐๐ก๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ Iโm a High-Performance Coach, Licensed Psychotherapist, and Product Growth leader with 18 years in tech. Iโve worked as a founder, consultant, and strategist, worked with 50+ startups, and trained 500+ people. Iโm not a coach who learned about tech by reading about it. Iโve lived it. Also, I went through the collapse myself. Even after thinking hard and reading all the right self-help content, it still took me almost three years to call it done. I know what it is like to try to intellectualize your anxiety and out-think a trauma response. I learned the hard way that relentless grinding isn't always discipline; it is often a coping mechanism. ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค The goal is not to kill your ambition but to help you keep your drive while breaking the dependence underneath it, so burnout stops costing you your relationships, self-trust, and what you worked hard to build. I will teach you how to protect your peace, separate your self-worth from your business, and ensure your work actually serves you. I do psychotherapeutically informed coaching. We don't just talk; we use high-trust advisory, trauma-informed somatics, EMDR, and objective biomarker data to actually rewire how you operate.
