Transition Coaching
You're in the middle of change, whether you've stepped into a new role, you're facing a reorganization, or something else has shifted. Maybe you chose the change, or maybe it chose you. Either way, you don't have to find your footing alone. We'll work together to make sense of the new landscape and move forward with intention.
Talk it through →Leadership Coaching
You're ready to lead differently. Maybe you've outgrown how you've been operating, or you can see the leader you want to be and aren't sure how to get there. Together, we'll examine the patterns and stories that shape how you show up and experiment with new behaviors to add to your toolkit.
Start a conversation →Team Facilitation
Your team has been in deep in the day-to-day, and needs to take a step back, regroup, and plan for what's ahead. Through spaces that are designed and intentionally facilitated to surface what's often left unsaid, we'll build the team while we build the plan.

About
I came to coaching the long way.
Looking back, it’s easy to see the unifying thread: a curiosity about people and their motivations, and a pull toward helping others get unstuck.
Personally, I’ve always been the one friends came to when things got hard and they needed perspective. Professionally, I thrived in bringing structure to chaos. Whether I was a management consultant, Chief of Staff, or head of People and Strategy, my job was the same: ask the questions that cut to the root of what was really going on, and help people find their way through change.
I did this across industries and geographies. Twenty years of cutting through noise in different rooms taught me the same thing, over and over.
The block was rarely the situation itself. More often, it was the story someone was telling themselves about it.
I’ve had to learn this for myself as well. Whether navigating a career transition, preparing for a difficult conversation with my team, or advocating for myself, I’ve learned to first pause and interrogate the story I was telling myself. What am I assuming? What am I not seeing? And, what might be possible if I looked at the situation differently?
That’s the work I now bring to coaching. I ask hard questions, challenge clients to see things differently, and help them act accordingly.
I trained with the Hudson Institute of Coaching and am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation. I also hold a B.A. in Psychology and an M.S. in Management Science and Engineering from Stanford University.
Outside of work, I find myself drawn to activities that challenge me to do hard things while being in a supportive community. I recently completed my first triathlon, and am now an emerging amateur tennis player. My spouse and I live in the Greater Seattle area with our two kids, who also challenge us in new ways every day.

Frequently Asked Questions
We start with a free consultation to get a sense of each other and what you’re working on. If it feels right, we begin by getting clear on where you are now and where you want to be. From there, we build a coaching plan together: your goals, how we’ll define success, and how we’ll get there.
In each session, we’ll work through a topic you bring related to your coaching goals. We’ll get clear on the actual issue at hand, I’ll challenge you to see it from angles you might be missing, and we’ll identify concrete actions to take you forward.
Sessions are 60 minutes, confidential, and typically twice a month. Between sessions, I’m available for short async check-ins. Most engagements start at 4-6 months.
No. Therapy tends to focus on healing and patterns from the past. Coaching is forward-leaning: your present circumstances, the futures you’re weighing, the practices that close the gap. I’m not a therapist, and I’ll say so clearly when something might be better held by one.
Most of my clients are senior leaders, middle managers, and people in the middle of a real transition, across industries. Your title and industry matters less than the moment you’re in. If you’re stepping into more than you’ve led before, wrestling with a decision that doesn’t have a clean answer, or sensing that your usual way of operating isn’t working anymore, you’re probably in the right place.
I meet clients worldwide over Zoom. In-person sessions in the greater Seattle area are available by arrangement. Team off-sites can be hosted wherever you are.
Often, yes. Many of my clients fund coaching through their team or company’s professional development budget. Some clients pay privately to keep the work fully their own. Both work.
Coaching isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither is pricing. Engagements are scoped to the work, and I’ll walk you through some options on our first call once I better understand what you’re navigating. If budget is a real constraint, let me know. I’d rather figure it out together rather than let it be the reason we don’t work together.
