I provide 1-1 coaching and consultation. My coaching is focused on helping individuals find and navigate their own path through major life transitions. My consultant work focuses on providing direct support. This often focuses on organizations building and improving programs or navigating major change initiatives.

I am not a therapist. Coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association.  Coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care or substance abuse treatment and it is not used in place of any form of diagnosis, treatment or therapy.

Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between a coach and a client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the client to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.

Professionally, I have a Bachelor’s in Economics, a Master’s in Leadership and Management and 25 years of diverse, work experience. I have succeeded in a large variety of work sectors including hospitality, retail, finance, tourism, non-profits, mentorships, and cooperatives. I’ve gotten certifications in change management, project management, and operational frameworks.

Personally, I have 10 years of volunteerism with Outdoors For All teaching skiing and kayaking to individuals with physical and intellectual disabilities. Outside of working and volunteering, I enjoy training for half marathons along the scenic trails of Seattle, where I now call home with my husband Josh and our cat Oscar. I find great relaxation in reading, painting, and cooking and occasionally playing pinball and retro video games.

So long as you identify as either a member of the LGBTQIA community, or any Ally to it, I am happy to hear from you!

I incorporate a wide variety of experience and methodologies to help identify where someone is at and what it takes to move forward. I have a background in leadership, project management, change management, operations, and a whole host of experience navigating major life transitions.

You can reach me via our contact page. I aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

I aim to work in a collaborative, and straightforward manner. I like to take the time to get to know you and understand fully where you are. From there I’m here to guide the process, help form a plan, and keep things moving.
