But my story did not begin in therapy rooms.
For nearly two decades, I built a career in business, commercial banking, finance, underwriting, portfolio management, sales, sales training, and leading human resources, leading teams, running multi-million-dollar divisions, and guiding organizations toward success. I worked with executives, senior leaders, and C-suite decision-makers discovering that at the heart of every thriving business was the same essential truth: people and their stories. Even then, the conversations that mattered most to me were not about numbers or strategies, but about growth, resilience, and meaning. It was in those conversations that I realized I was already doing the work I was born to do.
