Ashburn Mental Performance Services
Blunt and directed. Action oriented. For leaders who are done thinking about change and ready to make it happen.
Let's TalkWhere Are You?
Most people sit in contemplation for years. I work with people in preparation and action.
Pre-Contemplation
"I don't have a problem"
Contemplation
"Maybe someday..."
Preparation
"I'm ready to figure this out"
Action
"Let's move — now"
Maintenance
"Sustaining the gains"
If you're still wondering whether you need to change, we're not a fit yet. I work with action-takers. People who are past contemplation and ready to move.
The Problem
You were a great individual contributor. You've risen in the ranks. By most measures, you're successful. But something's off.
You know you're not operating at your highest level. You can feel the gap between where you are and where you should be.
Who I Work With
People who value bigger purpose. Who want to serve their community, their organization, their people — but need to get out of their own way first.
Leading mission-driven organizations through complexity
Navigating high-stakes decisions with incomplete information
Translating vision into action at scale
Sharpening your edge to better serve clients
Teetering on the edge of burnout and ready to change that
Background
21 years U.S. Navy. Submarines. NSA. Combat zone deployments including to Afghanistan.
Director of Psychological Evaluation Services, NYPD. Briefed two Police Commissioners.
Director of Assessment Services, Korn Ferry. Executive talent evaluation for Fortune 500.
Ph.D. Clinical Psychology. Licensed in New York State. 20+ years in the field.
From tactical deployments on submarines to strategic tours at the National Security Agency. From briefing four-star generals to consulting with NYPD executive leadership. From running clinics in combat zones to evaluating C-suite candidates at one of the world's top executive search firms. My career has been defined by one thing: helping leaders make high-stakes decisions under pressure.
I've held a Top Secret/SCI clearance. I've briefed an Attorney General. I've developed mental health sustainability programs for undercover officers in high-stakes environments. Now I bring that same caliber of insight to leaders who are ready to operate at their highest level.
Certified in EQ-i 2.0 and FIRO-B assessment instruments — tools I use selectively to accelerate insight, not as a substitute for real conversation.

No vague promises. We define what success looks like before we start — then we go get it.
Cut through the noise. Know what matters. Make decisions with conviction.
Compressed timeline from thought to action. Faster results, less spinning.
Better roles. More impact. Advancement that matches your capability.
Better connections — professional and personal. Leadership presence that lands.
How We Work
Every engagement starts with a conversation. We'll talk, see if there's mutual fit, and go from there. It needs to be a "hell yes" on both sides.
We'll drive your progress, fueled by your vision and our collaboration. No cookie-cutter programs, no workbook checklists. Bespoke and unique, one of one — just like you.
01
What changes, how we'll measure it
02
Beliefs, habits, decision bottlenecks
03
Systems, not motivation
Available virtually worldwide. In-person by arrangement.
Discounted rates for military, veterans, first responders, and nonprofit leaders.
You're not a commoditized client and I'm not a commoditized coach. If that's your price point and/or main focus, keep looking. Not the cheapest coach by a long shot, but we'll operationalize and define ROI up front.
Ready?
This is a conversation — not a pitch. Let's see if working together makes sense for both of us.
