Trusted counsel for high-achieving leaders who want more than just success

Strategic clarity for those navigating pressure, complexity, and
that nagging question: What now?


You’ve built something remarkable and accomplished so much. So why does it still feel... off?

Maybe you've exited a company, hit your biggest targets, or reached the role you’ve been chasing for years — and instead of fulfillment, you’re feeling something else:

The weight. The pressure. The exhaustion of always needing to have the answers.

Or maybe it's emptiness — a surprising lack of joy or connection — even after achieving what you thought would finally feel like "enough."

You've done everything "right," and yet something still feels off. Like success delivered the outcome but not the internal reward.

That feeling doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re ready for something deeper.

This is where I come in

I'm a multi-exit founder, former CEO, and Ph.D. psychologist who knows what it’s like to lead through chaos — and carry the full emotional and strategic weight of leadership.

One of my exits was to a Fortune 20 company. On paper, it looked like a dream. But behind the scenes? Pressure, politics, identity loss, and the disorienting question: Is this really it?

Even with a world-class coach, therapist, and support system — I still struggled.

That experience taught me something most leaders never say out loud:

When your head and heart aren’t aligned, even success feels hollow.

That insight changed everything — and it's what I help others uncover.

Who I Work With

I work with high-level leaders — founders, executives, investors, and top performers — who are navigating high-stakes decisions, transitions, or moments of deep reflection.

This isn’t performance coaching. It’s not consulting. And it’s not therapy.

It’s space to think. To feel. To realign. And to rise — with clarity, purpose, and conviction.

What You’ll Get

Every engagement is personal, but most clients come to me for help with:

  • Gaining clarity in complexity or transition

  • Making high-stakes decisions with confidence

  • Avoiding burnout while sustaining growth

  • Leading teams and companies with greater presence and connection

This is where performance meets inner alignment. And that’s where real leadership lives.

Not Sure Yet?

If you're feeling the pressure, the fog, or just a quiet sense that something isn’t quite right — trust that instinct. Most high achievers ignore it. The best ones don’t.

Let’s talk.

Those of you who are considering this should understand that Doug combines the best background and elements an advisor, counsel, or executive coach can have: solid experience as a psychologist, extraordinary entrepreneur, business executive, and a top leader of people. I recommend him unconditionally; he’s in his sweet spot, so let him help you reach yours.
