A solutions strategist

Clarity for the moments that change everything.

I've lived a lot of lives — built things, cared for people, made the numbers work, started over more than once. That range is what lets me see the way through yours.

I've sat in a lot of rooms — and learned that almost every hard problem is the same problem, wearing different clothes.

Most people meet life's hardest turns the same way — a divorce, a diagnosis, a career that ends or pivots, the slow unraveling of midlife — and they meet them blind. The rules feel arbitrary. The answers feel rationed.

They aren't. I've lived many lives and started over more than once, and that range gave me a wide aperture — through it, the pattern underneath all of this comes clear. I can see which doors actually open, which moves actually matter, and where the room to move has been quietly hiding all along. It's what lets me guide and advise people through the turns they can't yet see around.

That's the work: seeing the pattern, then building you a way through it. Not advice handed down from a desk — a strategy built beside you, in plain language, for whatever turning point you're standing in.

Two ways in — one steady hand.

On retainer

Full Spectrum

When everything is moving at once — and you want one steady mind across all of it. I become your ongoing counsel: the person you think out loud with before you make the move, through a divorce, a career pivot, a health crossroads, tax debt, the slow turn of midlife — whatever the season holds. One relationship, the whole picture, held by someone who sees how the pieces connect.

Soleil works by introduction.

The best solutions move the way trust does — hand to hand. Most of the people I work with arrive through someone who has already sat across from me and felt the difference.

So this isn't a volume practice. It's a small, deliberate one, built on referral, where the relationship matters as much as the result. If something here resonates — or if someone you trust sent you — reach out, and we'll begin with a conversation.

Tell me what you're standing in.
