Live from a deeper source of wisdom.
Welcome. ​
​
You may be here because you are navigating a transition, seeking clarity, or longing for a deeper sense of meaning. You know something in your life needs to shift, in your work, your relationships, or within yourself, but you are not sure how to move forward.
​
This is the work I love most: helping people uncover who they are beneath old patterns, identities, and expectations, and then turning that discovery into courageous, grounded action. Together we create change that is not abstract but woven into the choices you make every day. Changes that bring more clarity, presence, and joy into your life.
​
If you are open to it, we can also welcome the sacred dimension of life, however you understand it, as a source of wisdom and guidance. My role is to walk alongside you, holding space for both the depth of your inner journey and the practical steps that make transformation real.
My Journey
My own path to this work was not straightforward. For 12 years I worked in nonprofit and international development in the U.S., Colombia, and Kenya, applying my Master’s in International Relations. The beauty and suffering I witnessed convinced me that personal flourishing is always tied to the well-being of our communities and planet.
​
Over time, I realized my deepest passion is helping individuals reclaim their wisdom and agency. Coaching became my way of working at the root level, supporting people to transform their relationship with themselves so they could live with more clarity, presence, and purpose. Personal changes move beyond the self to impact families and communities in positive ways.
​
Whether someone comes to me struggling as a new mom or empty nester, facing a life transition, wanting to lead more effectively at work, or stuck in unhealthy habits, we work together to create practical, sustainable changes that honor both their human needs and their deeper calling.​
​
Professional Background
I’m trained as a National Board Certified Coach, Positive Psychology Practitioner, and HeartMath Facilitator. My toolkit also includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and The Change Triangle. I’ve practiced meditation for over a decade and am currently training as a meditation teacher with John Churchill of Planetary Dharma.
​
Beyond credentials, my greatest preparation has come from living this work myself—facing struggles, moving through pain, and committing to my own continual growth.​
​
My Foundation
​
My life is shaped by a spiritual path that weaves together Mahayana Buddhist practice and my Christian roots. This foundation grounds how I hold space for others while honoring each person’s unique background and beliefs.
​
If it calls to you, I welcome a spiritual dimension into our work, whatever that looks like for you. The focus is always on helping you connect with your own inner wisdom embedded in something far greater as you understand it. For me, this is not abstract. It influences your everyday choices: how you nourish your body, listen to your heart, or care for a neighbor in need.
​
Beyond Work
Life has been my greatest teacher. I have:
-
lost people I love.
-
sailed oceans as a captain.
-
moved through periods of depression.
-
raised two children.
-
lived in remote Mongolia as a Peace Corps volunteer.
-
spent 13 years working internationally.
​​
Today, I share life with my husband, children, and two lively cats.
I take my work seriously, but bring a playful, light-hearted energy to it. Growing up in New Jersey gave me a straight-talking, “life’s too absurd not to laugh” kind of vibe. These experiences—from the profound to the everyday—all shape how I show up. I don't have all the answers, but am a committed fellow traveler who believes in community, practice, and courageous action.
An Invitation
If you feel called to live from a deeper source of wisdom, I would love to explore how we might work together. Whether through one-on-one coaching, meditation instruction, or community gatherings, I'm here to offer support.​
