Empowering Tech Leaders to Redefine Success & Rediscover Joy in Their Careers
With a rich background at tech giants like Apple and Yahoo, and as a psychologist, I've lived the burnout and resurgence firsthand. Now, I dedicate my career to guiding tech professionals past mid-career stagnation to find purpose and excitement again. I understand the unique challenges of feeling stuck after years of success. Through tailored coaching and strategic career programs, I help clients escape burnout, regain confidence, and design careers that align with their redefined visions of success—not just chasing titles, but crafting lifestyles that embrace health, relationships, and joy.
