Coaching Benefits
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used to create them.”

How Coaching Can Benefit You
Effective coaching encourages a shift in mindset and facilitates progress through developing strategies for change and growth. Working with the right coach will help you get unstuck and attain better outcomes.
Why Choose Me as Your Coach?
I coach professionals, business owners, and individuals in elevating their lives in the areas that matter most to them.
- Their business
- Career
- Key relationships
- Health
- Inner balance
Together, we leverage areas of strength while improving what's not optimal. I am an accredited coach with the International Coach Federation (ICF) and a lifelong learner. Along with 25 years of business consulting experience and my coaching practice, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) as well as a Nationally Board Certified Counselor (NBCC).
Especially relevant is my work as an Archetypal Pattern Analyst, which encompasses development and Jungian psychology, ontological naturalism, systems and fields theory, and recognition of the psyche's defense mechanisms. This reflective lens aids in our work, helping us examine and integrate an understanding of how patterned behaviors manifest in nature's world (and thus your own).
Knowledge, Credentials, and Real-World Experience — Marks of a True Coaching Professional
Expert competence distinguishes the experienced professional from a trained technician who may have practical know-how but lacks a theoretical basis for certain skills.
Knowledge of relevant theory and the skills to apply it make possible the creativity, vision, and innovation expected from a professional coach. I have built my approach on integrity, personal and professional development, and depth of understanding. You might say I “eat my own cooking.” My certifications, license, and experience demonstrate my high level of professional competence in the personal development and psychology field.
Coaching leverages qualities that made me a good consultant in my past business career, and I find it immensely fulfilling. After seeing what good coaching did for my own life, I pivoted professionally to providing coaching services. Prior to coaching, I held leadership positions at Fidelity Investments, Smith Barney (now Morgan Stanley), and a real estate consulting firm. I also founded a profitable investment fund during the mid-nineties. In addition to my education in the field of psychology and wellness, I have studied business management and financial planning at the graduate and post-graduate levels. My BS degree is in Economics and my MA is in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. To deepen my knowledge base, in 2023, I began certification as an Archetypal Pattern Analyst at the Assisi Institute, a renowned depth psychology and Jungian informed clinical center headed up by Dr. Michael Conforti in Mystic, Connecticut.
My recent clinical experience has deepened my understanding of the human psyche and our inner world. Formerly, my business breadth put me on the front lines of real-world deal-making, teaching me invaluable lessons about how executives and professionals think and act. Today I embody all these aspects of my training and experience to coach more effectively. I am a careful listener, able to connect and be curious, while fostering trust and authenticity. I coach at these intersections to produce powerful results. This sets me apart as an authentic advocate and highly trained coach.
