In 1995, amid the height of the tech boom, I took my first tech startup public. At the same time, I was hosting support groups for women in business right in my living room. From the start, I recognized the powerful link between mental health, well-being, and career success—a connection that was only beginning to gain attention.

​

I spent the rest of the 90’s working alongside entrepreneurs to build successful companies, form strategic partnerships, and facilitate mergers and acquisitions across Silicon Valley and beyond. Stepping into many diverse roles within these companies, I helped drive sustainable growth strategies and build high-performing teams. Meanwhile, my living room women’s group evolved into an expansive support network for professionals to share tools and actionable insights—a model of connection and collaboration that has become the cornerstone of my coaching approach today.

​

Inspired, I launched Circle Exchange Inc., my first health and well-being startup. We introduced the Clarity Compass Coaching method—a unique approach that combines evidence-based science with actionable steps to spark profound transformation. Since then, hundreds of organizations, from major corporations to nonprofits and wellness centers, have embraced this method to empower their employees, teams, and communities to reach their full potential.

In 2015, I founded Out of the Crate Inc., a 501(c)3 charity focused on building confidence and life skills in young people. Our PackTimes program combines educational activities with time spent with companion dogs, offering a practical, hands-on way to foster resilience and connection. During this time, I also began my volunteer work as a court advocate and group counselor for state shelters and agencies focused on domestic violence and sexual assault. Drawing on my IFS (Internal Family Systems) training, I helped victims reclaim their agency and navigate their path to healing with strength and resilience.

Today, I partner with companies and individuals alike, united by a single mission: to transform emotional awareness and intelligence into real-world success. Through immersive skill-building and impactful action, I help clients unlock their potential for lasting growth in both their careers and personal lives.
