Welcome......

Coaching is my passion. I am genuinely interested and curious about people and their lives. I listen carefully and connect with my clients in a deep way. In our coaching relationship, a certain synergy develops which creates momentum and unlocks those blocks to personal freedom and success. I am enthusiastic, curious, spontaneous and intuitive, and coach from a belief in people and their capacity to live dynamically and in a way that is true for them.

Coaching has been a natural progression for me. I have dedicated my career to helping people achieve their absolute best and live up to their life purpose and potential. As a licensed psychotherapist, educator and mentor, I have worked with a diverse range of individuals and groups/teams. I am uniquely qualified to address the challenges my clients face and partner with them through their process of self-discovery and change.

Coaching Credentials

I am credentialed with the designation of PCC/Professional Certified Coach, through the International Coach Federation, and a Coach U Certified Graduate (CUCG). My coach training, coaching experience, professional and academic achievements form the foundation of my coaching proficiency. I have an MA in Counseling Psychology, and I am a licensed Marriage Family Therapist.

I have successfully coached clients in career change, improving communication in personal and professional/work relationships, health and fitness, ending procrastination and successfully navigating midlife transitions.

Personal Background

In 1998 a window of opportunity opened for me and I jumped at the chance to make my dream of living abroad come true. This was a bold, life-changing move. Challenges included closing my psychotherapy/psychology practice of eight years, selling my home and moving to a new life. First I explored London, studied French, and made new friends. The excitement and diversity of living in an international city encouraged my move to France, where I lived for two years and continued my studies in language and music. I did it all!!!!

This was the best lifetime decision for me, and I have never looked back, including ongoing travels to France and neighboring countries every summer.

This life changing experience paved the way to a new career in coaching. I know first hand the risks, challenges and rewards of following one's dream.

I know the ins and outs, but most of all, I know it is possible!!

I live in California in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area. I have a wonderful family, and solid community of friends. I love music, dancing, singing, and hiking in the gorgeous regional parks the Bay Area provides.

In addition to my Life Coaching business, I am a faculty member at a local community college where, as both coordinator and service provider, I have developed a program of “Personal Counseling/Life Coaching Services” for students.
