Experience

Since 2000, I have coached with individuals, business owners and work groups who are looking for more effectiveness, balance, motivation, contribution, satisfaction, fulfillment, personal power and joy. I’m a compassionate, gentle, challenging and illuminating partner and advocate, supporting the graceful navigation of change.
I believe our unique experience of the details of our personal and professional lives influences everything else. Our patterns, unexamined, become our prisons. My clients are focused on what they want, despite challenging relationships, aging parents, rebound children, demanding careers, overfilled schedules and previously untended spirituality. I bring personal experience, perspective, playfulness and hope to the process of living full-spectrum lives.
