I have advanced training in trauma, family work, and couples to help my clients in all areas of their lives.
Leadership is hard. Many leaders, entrepreneurs, and CEOs have had incredibly hard life circumstances, trauma, abuse, or lack of privilege and yet, they have a resilience that pushes them to strive for escaping their circumstances. This resilience and drive is a gift, but it is also a double-edged sword. Many leaders struggle with loneliness, isolation, perfectionism, stress, and people-pleasing. They often have competing demands and roles. They are so much for so many people. As a trauma specialist for a decade, I was surprised at how many of my clients were so driven while coping with really hard things or unhealed past wounds.
