Bio

I founded Insight to Action Advisory LLC, a coaching and consulting firm that works at the intersection of business and psychology to help leaders like you improve business outcomes and the quality of life for themselves and those around them — personally and professionally.

For over thirty years, I have worked in the Washington D.C. area and across the country as a trusted advisor to owners of mid and small-size firms, executives at mid and large-sized companies, nonprofit organizations, and family-owned businesses.

My clients are consistently recognized for their achievements, increased influence, and ability to lead in the most challenging times. They have met complicated challenges and have inspired people to excel and achieve extraordinary results. My experience tells me that the price of enduring success for leaders or organizations does not have to come at the cost of personal health and happiness – even in volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous times.

I graduated summa cum laude from Tufts University and earned my Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Maryland. I live in Potomac, Maryland with my husband and two kitten-cats. But I am most proud of my two grown sons who are successfully launched!
