Corporate Psychologist | Managing Director, Psynet Group | Featured in The Wall Street Journal

The Wall Street Journal recently profiled my work helping hedge fund traders navigate losses and high-stakes pressure (November 2025). This work represents the second chapter of my career. I earned my Ph.D. in Psychology after studying at six universities and began as a clinical psychologist treating trauma survivors: war veterans, abuse victims, and individuals with dissociative disorders. I founded Beyond Belief, a leadership development program that brought over 1,000 young people to Chicago's South and West Sides for community service.
