Welcome and thank you for reaching out! Are you quietly wondering, Is this it? Do you long for a more intentional and grounded life? Did you experience a major life stressor such as divorce, chronic illness or loss? Maybe you're a busy parent in need of parenting support, an empty nester struggling with midlife, or a retiree who's searching for more meaning? You might not be sure if it's therapy or something else you need- you just know something inside you is ready to shift. If so, you're not alone-and change is possible.
I offer coaching for burn out, major life transitions, and the times when even high-functioners feel lost or stuck. With 40 years as a psychologist and educator, I blend research-based tools, attachment-informed insight, and nature-based practices. Clients come to me when quick fixes fail and they're ready for education and support that actually sticks.
If life feels loud and you've lost your footing, you're not alone. You don't have to figure it out on your own. I offer value-based, research-informed coaching to help you reset, clarify what matters, and move forward with intention. When you're ready, I'd be honored to walk alongside you. Visit my website for an in-depth look at how I work.
