International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

Coaching is not consulting, mentoring or therapy. Coaching is a client-driven, transformational process that uses inquiry and reflection to motivate action. A coach helps clients gain clarity and helps them meet goals so that they can make the changes they want to see in their personal and professional lives. 

My ideal coaching clients are individuals and organizations that value community and are committed to equity and inclusion. They’re mission-driven, open to growth, and ready for change—while also wanting to create personal and professional lives that make space for more rest and joy.

I bring 20+ years of experience working in higher education and holding leadership roles in professional associations– often advocating for equity and inclusion. My experience as a senior-level administrator helped me to understand the tensions with responding to internal and external pressures while leading others.  As a queer woman of color I am more than familiar with navigating systemic inequity personally and professionally. In all these moments, coaching served as a powerful and transformational tool in my life and it is my vision to offer service to others.

I offer executive and life coaching in individual and group formats. Individual coaching is offered virtually through videoconferencing or phone. Group coaching is offered virtually or in-person.

New clients begin with a package of six 1-hour sessions meeting roughly biweekly. Ongoing clients have the option of scheduling individual sessions or session packages.

I coach because I want to provide a nurturing space for people to explore and take action towards what’s possible and next in their lives. Exploring certification programs, I intentionally selected ICLI Rising as it aligned with my personal and professional values of equity and inclusion. 

My approach to coaching is grounded on the following:

• Awareness: I believe in reflection, leaning into curiosity and creativity.

• Agency: I believe that people are the architects of the lives we want to live. 

• Action: I believe that small, intentional steps can culminate into BIG changes in life.

• Abundance: I believe in possibilities, options and growth.

My coaching style balances offering clients a space to pause, reflect and perspective-take, leaving sessions with confidence and a tangible action plan. To hear what others say about my coaching, check out these testimonials.
