Mindset coaching is the solution for high achievers who want to finally feel calm, happy and whole

I’ve worked with clients from all walks of life over the years, and I specialize in working with Millennial and Gen Z high achievers who are used to excelling in pretty much every area of their lives. While their accomplishments are remarkable, the trade-off is often a crippling feeling of imposter syndrome, through-the-roof anxiety, and a constant fear of rejection or failure (and the corresponding hyper-vigilance that disrupts sleep, erodes relationships and triggers problematic thought patterns and behaviors).

Using cognitive behavioral coaching techniques, we work together in a hands-on mindset coaching environment to create meaningful changes that bring you more in alignment with the life you crave. No shortcuts, no BS. Just real work, backed by real science, to help you feel less stressed and anxious, more clear and purposeful, and ultimately more fulfilled in all areas of your life.

Sound familiar?

Growing up, everyone praised you for how smart, talented, athletic, and generally gifted you were (or withheld praise until you performed perfectly).

So you got straight A’s, got into a top school, landed a competitive job and rose through the ranks quickly. You get great performance reviews but you’re always thinking any moment everyone will realize you’re a fraud who has no idea what you’re doing.

Meanwhile, you long for closer relationships, a greater sense of purpose, and the satisfaction of creative expression. You have this vague unease that your life is off-track, but don’t know how to address it. Maybe there’s something you abandoned long ago because it didn’t come naturally or felt too frivolous to pursue. You’re tired of having the same fight over and over with your partner. You want to be more supportive of your friends, less annoyed by your parents. More excited about your career and less anxious about your next promotion. You just want to feel connected, motivated and purposeful like you used to.

Meet your mindset coach

Hi, I’m Emily! And I’m glad you’re here.

I fully believe that everything you need is already within you, and all we need to do is find it. In my mindset coaching practice, my job is to listen closely to your values, dreams and struggles, and help you remember who you are and what you’re capable of. With a blend of powerful questioning, attentive listening, mindfulness practices and a bit of intuition, we’ll get to the “thing beneath the thing” that’s really been holding you back. Once that’s unlocked, we can chart a meaningful action plan (with science-backed tools and strategies) to help you move towards your goals in a sustainable way. My greatest joy and honor as a mindset coach is to watch clients take off and really create a balanced, authentic life they didn’t even realize was possible.

I hold the PCC designation with the International Coach Federation, and in my mindset coaching practice I work with high-performing Millennial and Gen Z clients in the areas of relationships, effective communication, money, stress and anxiety management, perfectionism, life purpose and life transition, including grief and loss.

In addition to mindset coaching, I’m a Reiki Master, past-life regression facilitator and spiritual development leader. Often my work involves bridging the gap between practical and spiritual issues and strategies for resolving them, to help clients live authentically and purposefully.

it looks easy now

But it wasn’t always that way…

I remember the day my fiancé (now my husband!) and I were sitting in the therapist’s office where I was ranting about how Alex hadn’t washed the dishes in the sink before I got home from my client site. Again. I traveled all week in my consulting role, often internationally, and I just wanted our beautiful high-rise apartment to be clean when I walked in the door. I was shaking with anger.

When I paused to take a breath, just like in the movies, the therapist calmly said and how does that make you feel?

“Um, I feel that he should do the fucking dishes.”

Needless to say, we had a long way to go, but we got there. 

I wanted a good life, a great relationship, a fulfilling career, a sense of purpose and belonging. I wanted to achieve all of my dreams but also be really chill and fun to be around. Basically all of the things. What started as a financial coaching trajectory became so much more than that – money is a proxy for power, control, respect and trust, especially in relationships. And so it goes in all areas of our life – the fight is never about what it’s about, you know? As time went on, my mindset coaching practice organically grew to encompass these intersecting areas. So whether you’re fighting with your partner or fighting with yourself – there is a way to untangle what’s going on in your brain, address it, and unleash your full, powerful self in creating the life you long for.
