Leadership Advisory

For High-Capacity Women Navigating Pressure, Power & Change

You are competent. Responsible. Relied upon.

You carry real weight inside your organization.
Decisions move because of you.
People look to you to stabilize the room.

And somewhere along the way, leadership started costing you more than it should.

You anticipate tension before it’s spoken.
You soften clarity to preserve harmony.
You absorb what isn’t yours so things don’t fall apart.

You are excellent at what you do.

And you are tired.

This is not a resilience problem.
It’s not a productivity issue.
And it’s not a personal flaw.

It’s what happens when high-capacity women navigate systems that reward over-functioning and penalize directness.

Research has long described the double bind in leadership: women are expected to be both warm and authoritative, and penalized when perceived as dominant. So you calibrate constantly.

You lead.
But you buffer.
You speak.
But you soften.

Over time, that costs your nervous system.

Chronic tension.
Second-guessing.
Emotional labor that isn’t in your job description.
Resentment you can’t quite name.

This is where I work.

How I work

I am a leadership advisor and licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience working at the intersection of power, behavior, and nervous system capacity.

I’ve advised leaders, spoken in academic and organizational spaces (including Stanford), and worked closely with women navigating visibility and responsibility inside complex systems.

My work is not about becoming louder or more aggressive.

It’s about precision.

It’s about learning to:

Interrupt patterns that stall progress
Hold discomfort without collapsing or overcompensating
Say what needs to be said, cleanly
Lead without self-abandonment
Strengthen nervous system capacity in high-stakes environments

Because clarity without regulation burns bridges.
And regulation without clarity preserves dysfunction.

You need both.

1:1 Advisory

I work privately with women in corporate and complex systems who are navigating pressure, transition, or expanded responsibility.

This work is direct, strategic, and embodied.

We address:

Over-functioning and invisible emotional labor
Power dynamics and authority
Burnout rooted in nervous system activation
High-stakes conversations
The gap between how you lead publicly and how it feels privately

This is not traditional therapy.
It’s not performance coaching.

It is leadership work rooted in truth and physiology.

Speaking & Organizational Engagements

I also speak and consult inside organizations navigating change.

Topics include:

The double bind and leadership conditioning
Emotional labor in corporate systems
Nervous system capacity in high-stakes roles
Sustainable leadership under pressure

If this conversation belongs inside your organization, I’m available for keynotes and strategic engagements.
