I am a globally experienced clinical psychologist and higher education leader whose career spans continents and communities—from leadership in the launch of multi-campus universities in Africa to delivering clinical services in Baltimore, East Los Angeles, and Indigenous communities in Canada and Alaska, as well as partnering with NGOs in the Middle East, South America, and Africa.

With over 30 years of experience as a professor, dean, and university president, I bring a rare blend of academic leadership, cross-cultural insight, and clinical expertise. I am deeply attuned to the unique challenges faced by educators, healthcare providers, humanitarian professionals, and lawyers—especially those navigating abrupt transitions, moral injury, and the isolation that can come with high-impact, high-mobility careers.

A multilingual “nomad” by nature, I have lived and worked in environments as diverse as Nome, Alaska and Pereybere, Mauritius. My clinical practice is grounded in creating a safe, steady space for high-achieving professionals to process pain, reconnect with their values, and move forward with clarity and resilience. I am particularly skilled at helping clients address the deeper wounds that can resurface during career upheaval, toxic work environments, or after years of service in demanding roles.

My approach is distinguished by my ability to bridge the worlds of therapy and mentorship, offering both clinical depth and practical guidance. I am committed to helping clients not just survive, but thrive—reclaiming their sense of purpose and well-being, even in the face of profound change.
