About The Gounaris Group

Welcome! I am passionate about the art and science of leadership, psychology and mindfulness in work and in life.

I strive to offer the most current, evidence based approaches in positive psychology, neuroplasticity, and resilience. I work at the intersection of your "outer" world (career, organizations, money) and your "inner" world (beliefs, emotions, adaptability) to help individual leaders and organizations create the meaning and purpose needed to thrive.

Early in my career, I worked in Human Resources at Goldman Sachs as well as two global consulting firms, where I focused on large talent programs, organizational change initiatives, executive team coaching, and assessment of C-Suite executives. In 2007, I founded The Gounaris Group LLC as a boutique consulting firm that consults with financial advisors and family businesses on the psychology of money, offers guidance on transitions in a family business (succession and wealth), and also provides best in class leadership development for organizations.

In my personal life, I greatly enjoy the outdoors and strive to fit in a spectrum of fitness pursuits (yoga, hiking, biking). My favorite vacations are fun, adventure filled trips with my husband and teenage daughter and son. Mostly, I savor simple pleasures like walking in the woods with my dogs or movie nights with my family, including the cats.

I look forward to learning more about you!
