frequently asked questions

If you are curious about yourself and the world, enjoy a challenge, and are committed to learning and growth, this work may be for you. Coaching is not about having all the answers—it’s about insightful questions, gaining clarity, and making meaningful changes. If you’re ready to explore new possibilities in your life and work, this could be a good fit.

Awareness-Based Coaching helps you understand yourself more deeply so you can make choices that align with who you are and what matters most to you. It combines self-reflection, mindfulness, and practical coaching techniques to help recognize patterns, overcome obstacles, and move toward your goals with greater confidence and clarity.

Coaching sessions are challenging and fun, insightful and expansive, contemplative and moving, adventurous and familiar. Coaching sessions are engaging, thought-provoking, and sometimes challenging. You can expect deep conversations, self-inquiry through incisive questions, and practical steps to help move forward. Depending on your needs, sessions may include mindfulness practices, movement-based techniques, or other tools to help you connect with yourself in a more authentic way.

Coaching can help with many areas of life, including:

●      Leadership & Work Challenges – Making decisions, managing relationships, and navigating change.

●      Life Transitions – Moving through career shifts, personal changes, or periods of uncertainty.

●      Personal Growth – Understanding yourself better, developing new habits, and living with more intention.

The goal is not to fix anything, but to support moving toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

I bring over 30 years of leadership experience, along with extensive training in coaching, facilitation, and mindfulness. I’ve worked in demanding roles, led teams, and managed complex relationships, so I understand both the challenges and the opportunities that come with growth. More than anything, I care deeply, listen carefully, ask insightful questions, and help people find their own best way forward.

I have worked with government agencies, nonprofits, businesses, and community groups, helping them clarify their goals, improve communication, and strengthen leadership. My experience ranges from strategic planning to team development to navigating difficult transitions. Every individual and every organization is different, and I work to understand each client’s unique needs.

Facilitation is about helping people work together more effectively. Whether in a meeting, a retreat, or a long-term project, a skilled facilitator helps a group stay focused, navigate challenges, and make decisions with everyone’s input. My role is to create an environment  where real conversations can happen and where solutions emerge naturally.

Because they’re all connected. Who we are as individuals shapes the organizations we work in, and those organizations influence their communities. Growth in one area impacts the others. I’ve worked at all three levels—as a coach for individuals, a facilitator for teams, and a consultant for organizations and communities—so I understand how these pieces fit together.
