For over 3 decades, I've sat across from leaders carrying weight no one else sees.

As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a doctorate in Educational Leadership, I've worked at the intersection of mental health and leadership development longer than most frameworks have existed. I've watched brilliant executives burn out because no one taught them how to lead and last. I've seen organizations lose their best people to preventable exhaustion.

And I've dedicated my career to changing that.

I'm the founder of Your Therapy Doctor LLC and Open Conversations: Counseling and Assessments, an NBCC-Approved Continuing Education Provider, Maryland Certified Small Business Enterprise and Approved Federal Vendor. I'm a Board Certified Hypnotherapist, EQ-i 2.0 Certified Facilitator, and the author of works on resilient leadership and workplace stress that have helped thousands of professionals reclaim their capacity to lead well.

But credentials only tell part of the story.

What I bring to this retreat is 30+ years of understanding how humans actually change not through information, but through experience. Not through willpower, but through identity. Not alone, but in community.

This retreat exists because I've seen what becomes possible when leaders stop trying to manage stress and start building genuine resilience. I've watched careers reignite. Relationships transform. Legacies take shape.

And I want that for you!
