“We derive the greatest pleasure and fulfillment when all our faculties are drawn together into our life’s work.”
—Stephen Cope
Winding paths hold the deepest stories.
Here’s a bit about mine.
Like many, my early life was filled with creativity and joy—until I absorbed the cultural myth that our value comes from achievement and external approval.
I followed the expected path: excelling in school, getting an MBA, joining big-name companies, and seeking validation through success. But as the years progressed, I felt disconnected from my true self.
Everything changed when I started listening to my inner voice.
I stepped away from the conventional post-MBA track and built a business aligned with my values—despite the anxiety and uncertainty that came with it. Through this journey, I learned to articulate my vision, connect with like-minded changemakers, and let go of beliefs that no longer served me.
Since then, I’ve coached hundreds of emerging leaders engaged in powerful social and environmental impact work, helping them to find the sweet spot between meaningful expression and personal fulfillment.
I know firsthand that career and life transitions can be portals to freedom—if you’re willing to ground yourself in what’s truly authentic for you.

A bit more about me…
More important than the resume…
I love stories and helping people see and connect to their own story in a different way.
My own growth—through Enneagram certification, shadow work, experiential psychotherapy, New Ventures’ advanced graduate training, and more—brings depth and breadth to our work together.
Parenting my kiddos has further sharpened this work, teaching me to stay present and attuned as you navigate complexity and change.
Personally…
After 20+ years in the Bay Area I’m now Midwest-based, with my husband and two children: my daily reminders to play and to do our part in stewarding this world in the ways we can.
In my non-coaching time you’ll find me on long walks in wild places, immersing in restorative yoga, buried in a book or gathered around a table (or circle) for honest conversation.
