Leading a company while carrying the weight of constant decisions, responsibility for others, and personal expectations can be quietly exhausting. Much of this pressure happens behind the scenes, where few people see it. Because I’m both a licensed therapist and a performance-focused coach, clients can work with me in different ways depending on what they need most. As a therapist, our work focuses on the deeper, internal side of leadership: stress patterns, nervous system regulation, emotional triggers, burnout cycles, and past experiences that shape how you handle pressure, control, conflict, or responsibility. This is where we create lasting change at the root, not just manage symptoms. As a coach, the focus is more forward-facing and performance-oriented: decision-making, leadership presence, navigating scaling challenges, communication and relationship dynamics, strategic clarity, and accountability. We work on how you show up in high-stakes moments. I also work closely with co-founders, facilitating mediation and counseling as they navigate the complex interpersonal dynamics of building companies together. This work is about execution, momentum, and operating at your next level. Some founders choose therapy only when internal strain or stress is the primary issue. Others choose coaching only when they feel psychologically solid but want sharper leadership and performance support. In addition to my work as a therapist and coach, I consult on the human aspects of AI and intelligent systems. I bring a psychological lens to questions of cognition, behavior, trust, and performance. I enjoy working with leaders and teams to think more deeply about how intelligent technologies relate to and impact the humans who use them. My style is warm and results-oriented. We set clear goals and track growth. In addition to weekly sessions, I offer focused intensives and strategic engagements for leaders and teams navigating pivotal transitions or high-stakes periods. You’re welcome to schedule an initial consultation through this website. If you don’t see a time that works, you can call or text 512-294-9861. I look forward to working with you! Emily About Me For more than a decade, I have partnered with founders navigating growth, scale, and leadership complexity. Alongside my therapy and coaching practice, I serve as a mentor at Capital Factory, the Center of Gravity for Entrepreneurs, and work as an in-house coach and consultant to venture capital firms, startups, and larger organizations. I believe business and technology have an extraordinary capacity to shape a brighter future; especially when innovation is guided by intention, thoughtful leadership, and a long-term vision for a better world.
