Coaching for clarity, connection, and conscious growth
As a coach, I support individuals on their career and leadership journeys, with a special focus on early to mid-career professionals in higher education—faculty, staff, postdocs, and graduate students—who are striving to grow with purpose, integrity, and impact. I also support senior academic leaders in navigating complex challenges, leading with clarity and empathy, and guiding meaningful change within higher education. Whether you're facing a transition, clarifying your path, or seeking to lead with greater authenticity, I’m here to support you. Though my roots are in academic settings, I warmly welcome clients from all backgrounds who are ready to invest in meaningful growth grounded in their values.
My coaching focuses on three areas of meaningful growth:
Career and Calling:
Clarifying and sustaining a career path that feels purposeful and energizing, one that draws on their unique strengths and can be nurtured with intention over time
Grounded Leadership:
Developing the capacity to lead with clarity, humility, kindness, and steadiness, especially in complex and emotionally charged situations where wisdom and empathy are essential
Relational Flourishing:
Cultivating a strong, supportive network of mentors and collaborators, grounded in trust, generosity, and a spirit of mutual encouragement
At the core of my approach is a deep belief in the quiet strength of intentional work, the power of community, and in each person’s inherent worth and potential. Through our work together, I support clients in cultivating lives of purpose, resilience, and grace – guided by a sense of meaning that reaches beyond themselves.
With over two decades of research experience in industrial-organizational psychology (specializing in person-centered methods, personality, psychometrics, and innovative assessments), I bring both depth and scientific insight to my coaching. I teach university courses on positive work psychology, motivation, and organizational thriving, and I’ve had the privilege of consulting with a range of organizations – from Fortune 500 companies to tech start-ups. I also lead a high-impact leadership center focused on advancing women’s leadership in academia. Above all, I am passionate about helping people uncover their unique potential and bring their best selves to work – not only for their own fulfillment, but for the flourishing of the communities and organizations they’re part of.
