About Me

Though I spent many years denying it, I'm a heart-first feelings-haver and always have been. 

The truest thing I know is that I come alive in connection with others.  When I was small I collected lost animals and was the kid others came to with their most heart-wrenching fears, dilemmas and secrets. I held sessions between the aisles in our elementary school library, doling out snacks and hugs when words just wouldn't suffice.  

As an adult I found a career in health care, where since 2013 I've coached leaders and healers in community clinics, acute care hospitals, mental health programs and a pandemic response center on their path toward greater fulfillment and enhanced wellbeing for themselves, their teams, and the people they serve.  

My life's purpose is to help you elevate your impact,  shift your perspective, and transform your experience. Together we'll embrace and enhance your strengths, stare down your shadows,  get clear on your vision, and use your passion to achieve your purpose.  I can't wait to show you what you're capable of. 

I draw from diverse spiritual and scientific traditions and received my professional coaching certification through the Co-Active Training Institute, which is internationally recognized and accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF). I am also trained in Positive Intelligence, which builds off of the Co-Active model and is informed by a wealth of research on mindfulness, positive psychology, cognitive behavioral psychology, and neuroscience. 

I'm also lean certified and love helping mission-driven leaders and teams solve hard problems without harming themselves in the process. For more details on ways of working with me, please check out the Services page.
