Sometimes the breakthroughs you're after ask for more than thinking alone.
You don't need to be in crisis to be here, and you don't need to have it all figured out. Analysis and good thinking have carried you a long way. Some of what you want now sits beyond their reach and calls for a different kind of attention that works with more of you.
That's the work. Not advice, not a program to get through, but a sustained conversation about who you're becoming, what's genuinely in the way, and what's ready to open up.
The Approach
Coaching that works with all of you
Integral Coaching doesn't ask how you can get better at what you already do. It asks who you are beneath the doing, and what becomes possible when that starts to shift.
Most development adds something on top: a new skill, a sharper framework, a better tactic. This works a level underneath all of that, at the place those actions come from. That's why the change tends to hold instead of wearing off.
It works with the whole person: the conscious and the less conscious, the professional and the personal. Integral coaching recognizes that there is no such thing as a compartmentalized life, and that what you've learned to leave at the door is often exactly what's needed.
I've heard “bring your whole self” more times than I can count. This is the first context in which I've actually understood how that truly feels and why it can unlock so much.
The approach comes from New Ventures West, among the most respected coaching schools in the world, founded in 1987.
The Engagement
The shape of the work
Beyond a single session or a workshop, this a sustained 1-on-1 conversation, usually around ten sessions across roughly six months. Each session runs 60 to 75 minutes, and the real work continues in your life between them.
We'll find the rhythm that fits you, beginning with the discovery call. We meet in person or over Zoom, and where you're based is no barrier.
Who this is for
I'm looking to support those who are:
- Navigating a meaningful moment, whether a transition, a new leadership context, or something harder to name
- Open to exploring what sits beneath the patterns that no longer seem to serve them
- Simply sensing that more is possible
Working with clients is part of my certification with New Ventures West, so every engagement carries the full rigor of the program at an accessible rate reflecting my place in the journey. In this phase, and because the work is close and sustained, I take on only a few clients at a time. We'll talk through what works in the discovery call.
About Me
I've been in rooms like yours
I began my career as an engineer. Early on I learned to notice the difference between what people ask for, what they need, and what a system can actually hold. That kind of attention has shaped everything I've done since.
Over twenty-five years across healthcare, edtech, and tech, I've been an individual contributor, a team lead, and a C-suite executive, building teams from nothing and running organizations of hundreds. I know what it's like to be the only one in the room, and what it's like to run it. Through all of it, what was most fulfilling wasn't the launches or the strategy wins. It was helping someone stretch toward who they could become.
Far less visible on a résumé has been the (ongoing) inner work: years of hard-won lessons about staying present & honest, and about trusting not just how I think but what I feel and what my body already knows. It's re-shaped how I show up more than any title ever has.
I'm now completing my certification as an Integral Coach through New Ventures West. Working with clients is part of that training, and it carries the full rigor of the program.
Ethics and Confidentiality
I follow the ethics guidelines of New Ventures West and the International Coaching Federation. Confidentiality is the cornerstone of both, and it's the foundation everything else rests on.
You are free to share whatever you choose from our sessions with anyone you like. That is entirely yours.
This matters deeply to me. The work only happens in a space where you can be fully honest.
How to Begin
A free 30 minute conversation.No commitments.
We'll talk about where you are, what you're navigating, and figure out together whether this is the right fit for both of us.
