About

My consulting and coaching practice is built on the belief that peak purpose happens at the intersection of clarity and courage.

Helping people live and achieve their potential

Throughout my life, my constant refrain has been to help people live and achieve their potential. As a purpose-fueled organizational leader, I have worked across the private, higher education, and federal government sectors and am a recognized talent development leader, executive coach, and organizational development consultant with a proven track record of improving outcomes for leaders and organizations across multiple industries. As a counselor, coach, and internal organizational development consultant, I have always enjoyed my greatest success and satisfaction by promoting the success of others.

About My Practice

I help leaders and people transition from business as usual to a Possibilities Mindset by creating a high-trust environment where creativity and purpose are surfaced. I empower clients to think differently, stretch their capabilities, and realign their professional impact with what truly matters, bridging the gap between high-level strategic thinking and deep personal purpose. From there, I help you establish an environment of Intellectual and Creative Security—a high-trust space where you feel empowered to think differently, to stretch yourself and your capabilities, and to take the calculated creative risks necessary for change.  Finally, we ensure every move is grounded in Purpose Alignment, bridge-building between your high-level strategy, goals and a deep sense of mission. By connecting your daily actions to what truly matters to you, you transform your work, leadership, and organization.

My background

With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and certifications as a Professional Coach and in Organizational Development, I bring a powerhouse combination of credentials to my work. I complement these with 25+ years of experience, having coached over 10,000 clients.

I’ve enjoyed a career of improving outcomes and opportunities for students, professionals, and organizations. I have held change-agent and leadership roles in the public and private sectors and in five colleges and universities—including American University in Washington, DC, and Whittier College in Southern California—and flagship federal agencies based in Washington: the United States Agency for International Development, the United States Department of State, and NASA.

I am proud to say I have been recognized numerous times for dedication and service by my clients.

In addition to my master’s degree in counseling psychology from Lesley University in Cambridge, MA, I hold a bachelor’s degree in Asian History from Wheaton College in Norton, MA.

I have circumnavigated the globe, visiting 11 countries: Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Sri Lanka, India, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, and Spain. I have lived in two countries outside of the United States—England and Japan—and in five US states: New York, Massachusetts, Florida, the Washington, D.C. metro region, and California. I immigrated to the US as a teenager from the United Kingdom and currently live in East Amherst, NY.
