About me
If you are facing an unexpected change, stepping into a new chapter, or approaching retirement and wondering what comes next, I would be glad to walk with you.
I am a Developmental Coach and Thinking Partner with more than 20 years in talent development and leadership coaching. My practice centers on two things: helping people navigate life's major transitions with clarity and confidence, and supporting those entering and already in retirement build a life of genuine meaning and purpose.
I am also a reader, and that reading is part of what I bring into the room. Linguistics, philosophy, Japanese culture, positive psychology, Jungian and post-Jungian thought, mythology, and the literature of human communication and change. When something I have read fits the moment, I share it. Sometimes that looks like an idea or a framework. Sometimes it is a single book at the right time. The breadth is the point: it lets me curate, not just recommend.
I am also a certified Combat Veteran Master Coach with Project New Day Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit bringing evidence-informed coaching, peer support, and community connection to combat veterans at no cost. Trained in trauma-informed skills and PTSD and addiction fundamentals, I work with veterans to process past trauma, build practical coping skills, and rediscover purpose and forward momentum. If you are a combat veteran, or know one who might benefit, I welcome the conversation.
Finally, I have written a short eBook, Retired and Ready: Building a Meaningful Later Life, available on Amazon Kindle, for those who prefer to begin the journey on their own terms.

My Approach to Coaching
I see coaching as both practical and profound. On one level, it helps you take clear, confident action. On another, it invites you into the deeper narrative of your life — the place where values, identity, purpose, and possibility live.
I do not subscribe to the school that says a coach should only ask questions and never bring anything of substance into the room. I ask, and I listen carefully. I also bring books, frameworks, and considered guidance when they fit the moment. What I will not do is sell you certainty I do not have. Some of the most useful conversations I am part of are the ones where we are both still working something out.
Two coaching pathways
My work focuses on two pathways. Each reflects a different moment on the human journey, and each honors the story inside you that is ready to unfold.
Fresh Start Coaching — for people stepping into a new chapter, navigating an unexpected change, or facing a career transition who want a clear, confident way forward.
Your Third Journey Retirement Coaching — for people approaching or in retirement who want to think carefully about what comes after the career chapter ends. I will say plainly: I am in this passage too. My authority here comes not from having arrived, but from doing the inner work in earnest, reading the foundational texts closely, and bringing more than 20 years of coaching experience into the conversation.
