The Ascent Story
Throughout my career as a coach and business owner, I have worked with hundreds of high-performers. In that time, I have repeatedly witnessed a specific paradox: People working themselves to exhaustion while telling the world (and themselves) that they are "fine."
I watched talented individuals achieve personal and professional success while suffering behind the scenes. I knew that the problem had nothing to do with weakness or willpower, but stemmed from unmanaged chronic stress. They were suffering from Burnout.
I realized that we needed a better way to talk about Burnout, without the shame or guilt that I was hearing. I developed the metaphor of a "Climb" as the framework for Ascent Coaching & Consulting to start that conversation and help both individuals and groups find a path towards sustainable success.
To achieve this, I offer:
Personal coaching for individuals who feel overwhelmed and over-extended to help them find their way back to a life of Joy.
Data-driven consulting for organizations looking to create a culture that promotes both high performance and employee well-being.
Why Work With Me
Trust is an essential aspect of any relationship, and you shouldn't blindly trust anyone with your personal or organizational health and well-being. My approach to Burnout and performance is built on a foundation of clinical training, real-world leadership, and data-driven science.
My qualifications include:
Clinical Foundation: My Master’s in Counseling provides a deep understanding of human psychology, allowing me to help you navigate the internal mechanics of stress so you can address the physical and emotional responses that drive exhaustion and burnout.
Operational Grit: With over 20 years as a business owner and coach, I’ve lived the paradox of the high-performer. I understand the weight of leadership, the friction of growth, and the true cost of an ineffective culture.
Evidence-Based Methodology: I use data to create my strategy and measure your progress instead of "gut feelings" or trends. My framework is anchored in the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), the global gold standard for burnout research, and the Principles Personality and Culture Assessments.
Lived Discipline: I am a fellow traveler on the path to sustainable Joy. I understand your commitment to excellence, but I also know that success only matters if get to enjoy it.
