Tired of paying the extra price tag of founding while female?
The Double Bind of Female Leadership
Do men ever sit around and wonder if they are too ambitious and what that could do for their love life? I have yet to meet a single one, but I have met many driven women who do. Because being a founder isn’t just a job. For women more than most men, it’s a constant negotiation with identity, safety, and self-worth.
They call it “founder mode” for him, but “too much” for you.
Female Founders reach out for therapy because behind the public wins, they have been holding impossible contradictions. I would never say that founding a company is a walk in the park for a man. But, I will say that too often men are praised for intensity, decisiveness, or edge while women with similar traits are often labeled aggressive, emotional or worse.
Yes, the emotional tax doesn’t show up on a profit loss spreadsheet but it accumulates. And eventually, it might make you wonder “Am I just a sensitive basket case?”
I’m here to tell you that what you are feeling makes total sense. Female founders are not just men with ovaries. Our work can help you feel what you had to hide without dimming your ambitions.
Leading from within is the next level. Let’s get started!
What Changes When Female Founders Get Real Support?
Therapy for female founders isn’t about fixing what’s broken because you never were. Instead, it’s about reclaiming your superpower because you are a woman and wired differently. Expect to feel deeply without losing control and succeeding without losing yourself.
Impact Without Implosion
Ambitious women often achieve amazing things by working twice as hard while staying likable and never showing a crack. You want to shake off this reflex to outperform even though it has fueled your wonderful drive.
But more than anything, you deserve to feel that even when things fall apart or fall short, your worth isn’t up for debate.
Let’s skip the affirmations and get to the bottom of it all.
I want to help you replace your reflex to prove your worth with calm, clarity and confidence. Because consciousness is power.
And you deserve therapy that can rewire your compulsion to be perfect or fear of being exposed (spoiler alert: there is nothing to expose). Once you name the unspoken, it stops running the show and finally, you are in control.
If you are ready to face your emotional truth while still feeling strong, let’s talk.
Therapy with brains, backbone and breakthroughs for bold women on edge
I bring psychological depth with executive-level pragmatism. We will talk about the unspoken complexities of founding while female, but also deal with trouble at home, with co-founders, employees or investors.
You will find that your anxiety, depression or brushes with substance abuse are emotional pain trying to surface and that what you’ve buried is where your power lives. I will help you face these feelings while creating strategic steps that also keep you moving forward.
I wanted to reach out and let you know that I’ve started my own company. I remember a couple of years ago, you predicted I’d become a founder, and I said “NO WAY”. Just wanted to let you know that you were right, haha. Thanks for all the support and encouragement you gave me.

My clients tell me that I have a gift for delivering constructive feedback
My work is grounded in developmental psychology, attachment neuroscience, behavioral economics and even a dash of primal theory. In a nutshell, decades of research clearly show that early emotional experiences shape our brain, nervous system, and the way we relate to ourselves and others.
Even if those early experiences are out of conscious memory, their imprint lives on — in how we function, love, lead, protect, and disconnect. To truly transform, therapy has to go beyond just talking it out – the healing happens in the therapeutic relationship through limbic resonance and relational repair.
Your struggles aren’t the problem. They are stepping stones to more.
One client put it best: “Our sessions changed my life and helped me leave an unhealthy place, a place that I was unaware I was even in for so long.”
