Biography

I coach professional service providers (lawyers, accountants, healthcare providers) in the transition from technical provider/doer to leader and relationship-builder.


I retained my first coach shortly after transitioning to a management role. I quickly identified that the skills that had positioned me for the new role would no longer be enough for me to thrive and be successful in influencing and leading teams. In meeting with my coach, I began the transformative work that positively impacted the trajectory of my career. This transition served as a pivot in my life and led me to coaching others through their transitions from technical provider/doer to leader.


If you are in transition, are feeling stuck or need to gain clarity, let's connect to discuss your needs.


  • Professional Certified Coach (PCC) - 500+ hours of experience coaching professional service providers
  • Certified in the emotional intelligence instrument, EQi-2.0, a powerful tool to help people enhance well-being, communication and relationships
  • Strengths-based approach to coaching to bring forth the leader within!
