I approach coaching as a thought-partnership with ambitious, self-directed individuals.
I believe that it can be annoyingly easy for us to get in our own way. Not because we’re lazy, but because we might be operating on some flawed beliefs and assumptions that are self-defeating and slowing us down.
Maybe that means grappling with self-doubt when you want to start a new project.
Or holding back from trying new things because you’re afraid of failing.
Or feeling paralysed when you want to produce something great, because it feels high-stakes to you.
Or feeling demotivated when you don’t get a lot of positive engagement with your work.
Or just postponing action because you feel uncertain about your long-term goals.
The goal of my work is figuring out how to think more effectively about what we want for ourselves, how we can achieve it, and what’s really getting in the way.
The individuals I’ve worked with have started projects they’ve been postponing for months, experimented with best strategies to figure out what works with them, tailored their approach to productivity in ways that align with their strengths, priorities and preferences, and started setting goals with a more personal perspective on what a good life looks like for them.

Here’s an overview of my background:
I apprenticed for over two years with psychologist and founder coach Dr. Gena Gorlin, whose work on the psychology of ambition has been influential in my own approach to coaching.
I currently coach students and members of the Intellectual Incubator at the Ayn Rand Institute.
My academic background includes a Masters in Philosophy (where I focused on studying happiness), and a Masters in English Studies (where I focused on studying counterculture and Romanticism). I majored in Psychology, English and Communication.
A note: my work is not clinical, and it is not a substitute for therapy. If you’re looking for mental health care, you would be advised to consult a mental health professional.
