The Depth Advantage
Where strategy meets emotional intelligence
What clients say:
"She had the distance that I didn't…
to help understand the business situation but was also able to provide critical insights about me as a person. My business questions were ultimately symptoms of the ways in which I couldn't figure out who I wanted to be in the world."

Alison Crosthwait, CFA
I spent fifteen years as a quantitative trader and researcher—cutthroat, analytical, fast-moving. I haven’t lost that edge, but I’ve added something rarer in combination: the capacity to hold complexity in a deep, strategic conversation.
After becoming a psychotherapist through a six-year training in depth psychology, I worked with hundreds of people across finance, medicine, politics, and the arts. I’m known for quick intuition in complex situations and piercing, supportive insight.
I’ve also supported over 100 people in ceremonial healing journeys with earth medicines. My process integrates trauma work, somatics, and therapeutically informed dialogue—it’s rigorous, intuitive, and alive.
My clients are driven, self-aware, and often at a turning point. When you work with me, all of you is welcome: the leader, the skeptic, the dreamer, the strategist.
