Coaching & Consulting for Ultra High Net Worth Families & Family Office Teams

Support for the human side of wealth.

I help UHNW families and Family Office teams build clearer communication, stronger relationships, and steadier decision-making.

Money affects identity, trust, and relationships.

Ultra high net worth families (UHNW) feel steady pressure from roles, decisions, and expectations. Stress rises when clarity fades, when communication weakens, or when people feel unheard. Tension grows when people avoid hard conversations or when roles are unclear. These patterns strain relationships across the family and the Family Office.

These patterns have deep roots in the way money shapes a family. Money impacts how people think, feel, and relate. It influences identity, trust, and responsibility. Many UHNW families carry emotional weight that affects daily decisions and relationships.

The human side of wealth is often overlooked, yet it sets the tone for how a family relates and how decisions unfold. This insight compelled me to leave my career in finance and earn a Master’s in Psychology so I could help families -- and the teams that support them -- build stronger communication, healthier relationships, and sound decision-making.

Services for Families and Individual Members

UHNW families face emotional and relational pressure that many people never see. Inside the family, unspoken expectations and old patterns can make communication difficult and create quiet tension.


As roles shift, leader development becomes central. Family members step into new stages of responsibility—whether as founders, successors, or Rising Generation members finding their voice. During these transitions, questions of identity, authority, and trust often emerge and shape relationships, decisions, and how responsibility is shared.


I support families and individuals through:

  • Coaching for Rising Generation members who want direction, skill, and voice
  • Leadership development for founders, successors, and emerging leaders
  • Support that reduces recurring conflict
  • Facilitation that strengthens trust across generations
  • Help clarifying boundaries, roles, and expectations
  • Support during major life, ownership, or leadership transitions
  • Work on beliefs tied to money, identity, and responsibility

This work helps families strengthen communication, reduce strain, and make better shared decisions.

Services for Family Office Teams

Family Office teams face a different set of pressures than family members. They sit at the intersection of family dynamics, operations, and decision-making.


Their role carries heavy responsibility. They manage family expectations alongside complex daily demands, often in real time. Stress grows when roles are unclear or when communication slips. My role is to help teams strengthen how they work together under pressure—with greater clarity, alignment, and trust.


I support teams through:

  • Communication practices that strengthen trust and reduce misalignment
  • Leadership development that supports culture and accountability
  • Role clarity that reduces friction and confusion
  • Decision practices that improve clarity and follow-through
  • Practices that help teams stay grounded under pressure

This work helps Family Offices operate with greater focus and less strain, while supporting the broader UHNW family system.

Why Families and Family Offices Choose This Approach

Families and Family Offices choose this approach because it brings focus to the human side of wealth in a clear, practical way. The work stays grounded in real dynamics, real decisions, and real relationships.


Through this work, families and teams build a shared language and skills that strengthen communication, support leadership development, and guide healthier choices across generations.


This approach recognizes that strong systems depend on strong relationships—within families, across generations, and between families and the teams who support them.

How to Get Started

If these dynamics feel familiar, a conversation can help clarify what support would be most useful and what next steps make sense.


We begin with a conversation to explore what’s happening in your family or team and to confirm whether we’re a good fit for each other.


If it makes sense to move forward, we clarify goals and outline next steps that reflect your needs, roles, and timing.


Support may include coaching for individuals, families, or teams, as well as consulting across the full UHNW family system.
