A little more about me
My work is loving the world . . . (thank you Mary Oliver!)
My life mission is to serve as a courageous heart that calls myself & others into lives filled with purpose, passion, & possibility.
The most important thing about me is that I bring a fierce belief in my clients to every coaching relationship. I know that you have the resources you need to live a resonant, fulfilling life. My job is to help you clarify your values, life purpose, and the actions you want to take to create change in your life - and then hold you gently accountable as you take the action steps that you design.
I am usually working with leaders and teams in social justice nonprofit organizations, supporting them in accessing their inherent wisdom, increasing self-awareness and agency, and leading from a place deeply rooted in their own unique purpose, values, experiences, and perspectives.
Beyond my belief in you, I bring to our relationship over 20 years of executive leadership in the nonprofit sector. I draw on my real-world experience of successfully leading teams and addressing a variety of nonprofit management challenges. I'm an attorney and social justice innovator, with a personal passion for civil justice. As a result, I have a great fondness for and particularly enjoy coaching lawyers! I also love working with Boards of Directors and have a certificate of nonprofit board consulting through BoardSource.
As a cisgender, straight, white woman with mental health conditions that have been episodically disabling (including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), I strive to bring an equity mindset, cultural humility, and trauma and resiliency awareness to all parts of my life, including coaching. I am happy to chat more about what that means to me. As a guest on the unceded, stolen ancestral lands of the Ramaytush Ohlone, I am grateful for the leadership and work of the Association of Ramaytush Ohlone and for the ability to pay for my home & business through their Yunakin Land Tax program. I also practice personal reparations by contributing a percentage of all coaching income to civil rights & racial justice organizations lead by people who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.
I'm a mom to two amazing grown-up daughters (and two small exuberant dogs) and am profoundly grateful to live in the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area with my partner & spouse of 35 years. I'm a bit of a goofball, a former professional dancer, and an intense soccer fan. So fair warning that coaching sessions are likely involve laughter, playfulness, physical movement, a lot of metaphors, and groan-inducing analogies to the "beautiful game."
