About me
If you are navigating a transition, sitting with a question about who you are becoming, or stepping into retirement, I would be glad to walk with you.
I am a Developmental Coach and Thinking Partner. After more than 20 years in talent development and leadership coaching, my practice now centers on the kind of conversations that move between the practical and the deeper currents that shape a life.
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.
In the past year, my work has deepened toward inner work in particular — primary sources in Jung, Robert Johnson on the second half of life, dream work, the twelve archetypes. I am not a Jungian analyst, and I do not pretend to be. What I can offer is a reading life and a coaching practice that take this territory seriously.

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.
Three coaching pathways
My work focuses on three 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 at work or in life who want a clear, confident way forward.
Self-Discovery Coaching — for people ready to ask deeper questions about identity, values, and what they actually want this stage of life to mean.
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.
