Who I Am

Trained to hear what medicine trains us to ignore.

For fifteen years I've lived inside medicine's quiet crisis — first as a stroke neurologist, then as a program director watching gifted physicians burn down to the wick. I trained as a coach because the problem was never the doctors. It was that no one was guiding them back to why they started.

Today I help physicians and the institutions that employ them rebuild that connection — with a method that's been studied, not just felt.

What I Do

Three ways this work reaches you.

The transformation and the outcome — never the mechanics of the method.

Coaching & Programs

One-to-one and group coaching for physicians and physician leaders, plus training that helps institutions build wellbeing into how they actually operate — not as a rescue after the burnout, but as infrastructure before it. Delivered through Krivena, the company I founded.

The Evidence

The work is studied, not just believed.

Physicians in a randomized controlled trial of peer-based coaching

Results were presented at the American Conference on Physician Health and the AAN Annual Meeting, with the abstract published in Neurology.

Most wellbeing work asks physicians to be more resilient. This asks the system to be built better — and measures whether it worked.

When the Caring Goes Quiet

Medicine teaches you to keep going. It doesn't teach you what to do when the caring goes quiet — when the work that once meant everything starts to feel like something you survive.

This is a book about finding the way back.

No spam — just word when the book is ready.
