I am a professional coach and mentor. In my work with educators, leaders, young professionals and those with a desire to grow, I see myself as a guide as much as a therapist. I am deeply curious about how things work, especially the human mind. Life shapes us to become who we are and just as often, illuminates our un-mined potential by causing us pain or discomfort. Discomfort is a great place to begin!
I spent several years in the Boston area in private practice, giving workshops in family therapy and training social workers. I have presented at national conferences in the field of chemical dependency. Recently, I have been donating time to work with women in recovery from cancer, coaching college students in Values Clarification and teaching writing to caregivers. I am also trained to de-brief LMAP 360 performance evaluations.
My great loves are my family, growing orchids and fruit trees in Florida, hiking and making quilts. I am “old school” when it comes to making things from scratch and love to go crazy in the kitchen. My best nights are gathering friends (my lab rats) and whipping up a feast. Life is meant to be a feast!

(Always a rich place to begin.) I have had a coaching practice for ten years. My clients want to be valued from the creative place where they are, not from some distant goal post. We create goals that strengthen resilience and bring satisfaction. My work is with the whole being – creative, complex, longing for more. Our work is results-oriented and boy, do we get results! (Read endorsements). I love fulfillment, purpose, and seeing progress. My clients see years of frustration dissolve in a few weeks. We are not afraid to dive into the past, but see more value in mining the present and future. As creative creatures we are filled with yearning. Our work explores the longing and frustration and turns it into something new, filled with potential. ←Read Less
