A personally informed path to healing
Years of performance in high-demand environments, an extraordinary personal experience and a healing journey of my own shaped the way I care for people today, with mental health as the foundation and the mind and body treated together.

How I came to this work
-
Performance
I spent more than fifteen years in corporate finance as an executive and portfolio manager. I studied business at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and earned the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. That world taught me discipline, clear thinking under pressure and what it takes to perform when the stakes are high. It also showed me what that pace can cost.
-
A turning point
Then an extraordinary personal experience changed my direction. I stepped away from finance to focus on my family, and that season became a healing journey of my own.
Along the way I discovered what I now call our inner healing intelligence: the natural capacity of the body and mind to restore balance when we give them what they need.
I saw firsthand how the nervous system, nutrition, sleep, metabolic health and emotional healing are woven together, and how alternative therapies can reach what talk alone cannot. The Hoffman Process was a meaningful part of that path.
-
Going back to school
That experience led me back to school. I earned my master's in clinical mental health counseling, summa cum laude, and trained in neurofeedback, EMDR, nutrition science, integrative health and holistic medicine. I wanted the science behind what I had lived, so I could offer it to others with care and integrity.

My work today
Today I bring it all together: the wisdom of years in high-demand environments, balanced with inner healing, nutrition and alternative therapies that work. I work with CEOs, business owners and executives, Olympic and developing athletes, women navigating midlife, and people who simply want better health and a longer, fuller life.
I live what I teach. At 47, my biological age measures 33, and the method behind it is what I share in my course, The Synchrony Method, and in my clinical work. Next, I'm building an expanded clinic and a platform dedicated to women's midlife health and longevity.
Top down, bottom up, and always personal
Mental health is the foundation. We strengthen it through the mind and through the body, and we look gently and honestly at how daily habits and metabolic health shape the way you feel.
Top down
Therapy that changes how you think, feel and relate, using psychodynamic, parts-focused, relational and trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR.
Bottom up
Care for the physiology beneath your mood: neurofeedback, nervous-system regulation, nutrition, gut health, blood sugar, hormones and sleep.
Personally informed
I've walked a healing path myself. I bring that understanding, along with scientific rigor, to every plan we build together.

Rooted in North Dakota, at home in the mountains
I grew up in North Dakota in a large German family, which gave me curiosity, tenacity and a healthy willingness to challenge the status quo. Extended time living and traveling in Europe, Africa, Asia, and South America have deepened my respect for different cultures and ways of healing.
My favorite place is outdoors with my children and family. I also love classical music, theater, the German language and a good nonfiction book.
