About

As a personal coach, I help individuals and groups bring their bodies into alignment and increase their oxygen intake. This helps alleviate their anxiety, pain, tension, and stress. I do this through a series of breathing and movement exercises complemented by my book Leaning on Cedars. I also offer workshops and have done excursions with clients, both domestic and abroad, as close as West Point and as far as Turkey.

As an educational consultant, I draw on my success as a student and/or employee at Clark University, Princeton University, and Columbia University. I help you maximize your return on investment (ROI) and minimize your cost by teaching you how to get higher education to pay off. I do this by discussing alternative pathways through higher education, how you or your child can give or receive multiple gifts rather than just the degree, and strategies for parlaying your academic achievement into a fulfilling career. I offer this alongside whatever investment advice you may receive. My forthcoming book, A Matter of Life and Debt, provides the core of this strategic system.

As a writing consultant who has worked with clients in high school, higher education, and postgrad, I help you maximize your clarity and minimize your confusion. Academic and professional writing can be complex, so I use a visual outlining method to help you objectify your thinking and reduce your anxiety. The analytical logic of my book Human Maps for the Digital Age informs this process. 

I hold interdisciplinary Master (Ed.M.) and Doctoral (Ed.D.) degrees in Education from Columbia University. My core studies, research, and consulting included education, philosophy, technology, and communication. I also have a B.A. in Psychology (Summa Cum Laude) and M.S. in Professional Communication from Clark University.
