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 20+ years of business consulting experience and my coaching practice, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) as well as a Nationally Board Certified Counselor (NBCC).
Especially relevant to my work as a coach is my expertise in human growth and development, relationship efficacy and improvement, change management, systems theory, and inner connection/soulfulness.
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 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 personal 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 in Mystic Connecticut headed up by Dr. Michael Conforti.
My breadth of knowledge and skills have put me on the front lines of real-world deal-making, teaching me invaluable lessons about how executives and professionals think and act. I combine my business experience and academic learning with my quick-witted ability to deeply connect and listen, be curious and candid, and build trust with my coaching clients. I coach at those intersections to produce powerful results. That sets me apart as an authentic advocate and coach.
