An Integrated Approach

Business consultant, or psychologist? Why not both.

Typically, entrepreneurs who need professional assistance seek out the services of either a business consultant or a psychologist. As a business person and a counseling psychologist, I offer an integrated approach - one that treats your business and your relationship as connected parts of the same life, not competing priorities.

My interdisciplinary approach benefits couples with both their business and emotional growth simultaneously, giving them a long-term competitive edge that neither a business consultant nor a psychologist alone can offer.

Yours, Mine, Ours: Partnerships Done Right

I offer you a time-tested partnership model I developed, Yours, Mine, Ours: Partnerships Done Right, whose aim is to help you create a successful business and a committed relationship - together.

Common Questions

Entrepreneurial counseling, answered

Is this counseling, business consulting, or both?

Both, integrated. As a business person and a counseling psychologist, I address the business pressures and the relationship dynamics together, rather than treating them as separate problems.

Does only the entrepreneur need to attend, or both partners?

This work is designed for couples - typically the entrepreneur and their significant other - since the goal is a successful business and a committed relationship, together.

What is the Yours, Mine, Ours model?

It's a time-tested partnership framework I developed to help entrepreneurial couples build both a thriving business and a committed relationship, rather than sacrificing one for the other.
