About Amy:

Strategic, compassionate truth-teller

There’s nothing more exciting to me than watching seasoned executives or early-career individuals expand their positive impact on people and the planet. I believe the world needs more leaders who know themselves, act intentionally on their values, and apply their best selves to a heartfelt mission of making their workplace, teams, and organizations stronger and better. 

My clients note the energy and sense of safety I cultivate. Feeling safe allows my clients to look at the hard stuff: that which is difficult to face, unknown, or out of focus. Others reflect that I’ve encouraged them out of corners where they feel stuck. With an advanced degree in psychology, a cross-cultural background, experience in academic medicine, and more than 20 years of professional work in the field, I love my work.
