About Me

I'm that rare bird who can discuss end-of-life care one minute and throw down on the dance floor the next. My superpower? Holding space for the full messy, beautiful range of human experience—with warmth, insight, and yes, the occasional inappropriate joke at exactly the right moment

My Approach

I believe that true transformation happens when we integrate our whole selves — our grief, our joy, our identity, and our values — into the way we lead and live. My coaching practice is rooted in liberation and social justice, creating space for clients to do the honest, sometimes uncomfortable work of aligning how they show up with what they actually believe and value. I meet people where they are, whether they're navigating loss, leading through uncertainty, or building something new, with the conviction that healing and growth are not separate journeys.

My deep passion is working one-on-one with socially-engaged, compassionate fellow travelers who are doing everything they can to live a life of deep meaning. I partner with those who place community, healing, and justice at the center of their journey.

My 20+ year coaching career stands on solid foundations: Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentials from the International Coach Federation, comprehensive training from the Co-Active Training Institute, and specialized grief support certification through grief author and therapist Claire Bidwell Smith's program. As a certified End-of-Life Specialist with Home Care Plus, I also volunteer with Providence Hospice of Petaluma, deepening my understanding of loss across its many dimensions.

Life Beyond Work

I live in Sebastopol, CA (between the Coastal Miwok and Southern Pomo indigenous territories) with my husband and love cooking, learning bass, throwing dance parties, and playing tabletop games—sometimes all in the same day.
