Part sounding board. Part advisory board. Part Oujia board. Ever have a conversation with a friend, family member or co-worker that was completely free from judgment or bias? Me neither.

Core Values: Innovation | Adaptability | Connection | Integrity | Playful ＞＞＞＞ Kaizen As a coach, coach supervisor, workshop/group facilitator, and author, my life and career has been dedicated to the field of self-development and to effecting positive change through storytelling and conversations initially as a psychotherapist and now as a Master Certified Coach [MCC] accredited by the ICF and a certified coach supervisor with a European Supervision Individual Accreditation [ESIA] from the EMCC.  Clients describe me as authentic, empathic, playful, incisive, and willing to challenge them when the time arises.  I believe that coaching is whole-person systems focused - everything is connected.  My coaching practice involves helping my clients to develop professional skills such as servant leadership, attention/time management, managing up/down, emotional intelligence, and building trust/psychological safety with teams.  I also support my clients to build personal development areas such as maintaining positive relationships, mental/physical wellness, and values-purpose alignment.     After completing business school, I started my career in tech start-ups in Silicon Beach, CA, but then shifted to pursue clinical psychology. Upon completing my Master's in Psychology, I worked as a therapist and received a certification in Dialectic Behavioral Therapy [DBT] which combines a Cognitive-Behavioral technique with Mindfulness practices.  Finding that I had over-corrected a bit, I left the clinical world to find my sweet spot between business and psychology in executive coaching about ten years ago.  As a coach, I use all my business and start-up experiences coupled with positive psychology and a humanistic-ontological theoretical position to form the foundation of how I approached my practice. I trained as a coach under the Ericksonian approach which holds that people are already whole and resourceful when they come to coaching and that growth is merely an expansion of wholeness. With this holistic approach and my clinical understanding of group dynamics from over a decade of experience facilitating groups both in-person and online and an equal amount of time coaching individuals, I aim to elicit powerful mindset shifts with my clients by supporting them to transform unproductive beliefs into resourceful ones. I do this by utilizing neuroscience concepts of habit formation, the power of our imagination, and the convergence of this evidence that suggests sustainable development in people and organizations are the product of prospection, attention, intention, and then reflection.   Prospection – Digging for possibilities and visioning a future state of how we would like for it to be Attention – Uncovering new ways of what we can do to make it be Intention – Gaining awareness around why we want it to be Reflection – Looking back on these experiments and learning about who we are becoming from our how – why – what, developing our next how – why – what
