The times we find ourselves at a crossroads,
when the questions are simple
yet seemingly impossible to answer...
I've been there.
Is this still the life/home/career for me?
Should I stay or go?
What matters most now?
What do I really want next?
I've had my share of challenging transitions and pivots—some carefully planned, some unexpected.
Some wonderful. some soul-crushing. All scary at first.
New geographies, homes and cultures. The highs and lows of evolving personal relationships. The challenges of caring for someone with a serious and persistent mental illness.
And all the things that come with growing into a global leadership role in a high stakes industry. Finding my voice. Team and agency leadership. Tough staffing decisions. Acquisitions. And eventually, the layoff and the emergence of something completely unexpected.
The recognition that the core principles of coaching had been at the heart of my work all along.
Again and again, in a myriad of circumstances, I've seen how
we often have far more wisdom than we realize...
...and how sometimes it just takes someone else to skillfully offer space and perspective to fully hear our most inner selves.
Today, I work with people as they navigate their own transitions, questions, and choices. My approach is grounded, curious and practical. bring my lived experience, my grounded, curious and practical approach and my training in coaching and mindfulness—to my coaching.
I draw from a background in communications, healthcare advocacy, mindfulness, neuroscience and ethics. I am an ICF Associate Certified Coach, a certified Gaja Collective Mind-Body-Spirit health and life coach, and a meditation teacher trained through Dharma Moon and Tibet House. I hold a B.A. in Sociology from Tulane University and an M.A. in Mass Communications & Society from the University of Oregon.
