How I work

A Partnership to Help You Reach Your Goals 

I draw from a diverse set of tools to support your growth—including Positive Intelligence® to build mental fitness and quiet inner saboteurs, plus proven coaching tools to provide deep listening practices. Together we’ll uncover what’s often left unsaid, and apply strategic coaching to move ideas into action.

You won’t find cookie-cutter approaches here. Every session is shaped by your values, your goals, and what matters most to you right now. My role is to walk alongside you—helping you access your own clarity, your own voice, and your own next step.

My coaching is client-led, intuitive, and grounded in respect. I bring kindness, clarity, and a touch of humor to every session—meeting you exactly where you are.

My coaching draws from a blend of trusted frameworks and lived experience. I’m trained in iPEC, Co-Active Coaching, and Positive Intelligence®, and I also bring decades of leadership experience from Silicon Valley—where I led teams, developed people, and navigated complex transitions in both Fortune 500 companies and startups. I’m also a mother and a wife of 34 years—roles that have shaped my perspective profoundly.

Clients often say they feel deeply heard, supported, and more connected to their goals. Our work together helps you move forward with confidence—rooted in what truly matters to you.

Who I Work With

Realign. Refocus. Rise.

I coach thoughtful, growth-oriented people in moments of transition. Many of my clients are:

  • Reevaluating their careers or stepping into new leadership roles

  • Adjusting to personal life changes—divorce, relocation, empty nest, or retirement

  • Seeking deeper purpose and meaning in their next chapter

  • Ready to build resilience and move forward, but feeling stuck

If that sounds like you, I’d love to connect.
