Coaching
Be more sustainable and impactful.
You’re a dreamer AND a doer. You have places to go, people to see, experiences to have and goals to meet. You work hard because you were taught that hard work is the path to success. You’re good at getting stuff done, checking things off the list, and meeting standard definitions of success.
You’re also beginning to realize that working longer and harder doesn’t always lead to greater clarity, results or satisfaction. Sometimes it just leads to striving, anxiety, overcommitment, negative self talk, and worry that you can’t or won’t “get it right”…whatever that means.
You’re at an inflection point, and while you don’t want someone to tell you how to live your life, you wish you had someone to walk with you for a time as you discern the right path forward for you and yours.
When intentionality and fulfillment matter more to you than busyness and achievement, and you feel ready to disrupt your own status quo, I offer personal, leadership, & executive coaching to help you live and lead more sustainability and impactfully.
I coach at the intersection of vision & action.
I believe that the answers to the questions that keep you up at night emerge in the space between what’s inside you and what’s around you. I help you toggle between the larger philosophical conversation of who you are and what you want and the tactical challenges of making your vision come alive in the world.
In our work together, I help you go inward – slow down, discern and trust the sound of your own voice, understand who you are and build a vision for who you want to be, so that your own inner wisdom guides you in times of change and ambiguity.
I also help you go outward – observe and make sense of what’s going on in your world, intentionally consult others, try on potential ideas through action, and integrate new knowledge so that you can experiment your way to personal and professional choices that reflect who you really are, not who you’ve been told you should or have to be.
WE ALL NEED SPACE TO MAKE SENSE OF LIFE’S COMPLEXITIES.
I’m here to walk with you as you build your capacity to find your way across the uncharted territory in your personal & professional life now and far into the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
I work with the dreamers & doers of the world – people who love learning, are driven to make an impact in the world and want to “design” their experience, rather than be on the moving walkway of life.
I find joy in working with people from diverse backgrounds. My clients span a variety of ages and come from all sectors, backgrounds and walks of life including – education, government, business, non profit, technology, & finance. Given my personal background and professional expertise, I have a particular interest in supporting women and people of color.
Whether my clients are executives leading organizational change, new managers learning to lead people for the first time, or individuals seeking greater purpose & sustainability, all of them look for a non judgmental place to slow down and get present to who they are and what they want to create in their careers, relationships, & leadership. They look for tools to support them in taking action and making decisions that feel concrete and right sized. And that’s how I support them!
My style involves the head, heart, & gut, is interdisciplinary and draws inspiration from a variety of sources including: psychology, organizational development, design thinking, mindfulness, art, & improvisation. Through dialogue, learning exercises, and experiments, we uncover and discover who you are, who your environment & context calls you to be, what you want and how you can align your mindsets & actions so that you can feel purposeful and effective. You can learn more about my style and story here.
Who am I? My clients seek to understand their strengths, values patterns, needs, nature, & aspirations and want to think critically about the role various elements of their identity (i.e. race, class, gender, sexuality, etc.) play in how they show up in the world. They aspire to know who they really are beyond who they’ve been told they have to, should, or must be. They want support in coming to know, trust & honor themselves.
What does meaningful work look like for me? My clients want to get beyond traditional archetypes of success as simply “moving up the ladder” or “achieving the next goal” and do work that matters to them, plays to their strengths & honors their values. They want support in building a vision for meaningful work that they can use to guide how they lead, make decisions, seek promotion, conduct job searches & plan their career long term.
How do I right size change? My clients are practical dreamers & creative realists. They seek big impact & have a habit of biting off change in big increments which leads them to feel overwhelmed, paralyzed, & risk averse at times. They want support taking calculated risks that feel challenging & aspirational, but not overwhelming.
How do I marry impact & effectiveness with sustainability? My clients are capable & determined. They want to do good work in the world & do it well without burning out. They want support around personal-professional alignment, self-care, boundaries, and balance.
How do I effectively lead & collaborate with others? My clients believe in the power of people & community and want to create strong relationships in their workplaces & homespaces. They want support understanding how to influence & navigate people dynamics in ways that feel win-win.
How do I live & lead in ways that work in the world as it is while creating the world as I wish it to be? My clients are mission driven change agents who aspire to leave the world healthier, happier, & more equitable than they found it. They want to live & lead in ways that go beyond the status quo while still honoring the reality of life as it is. In particular, my clients who are women and people of color seek support in navigating through & beyond workplace & homespace dynamics informed by their race & gender.
