I am a life coach, educator, and longtime guide for people navigating change, meaning, and calling.

After more than four decades as a medical social worker, psychotherapist,* clinical gerontologist, and health educator, my work has evolved into a more spacious and soul-centered form of support: life coaching grounded in wisdom, creativity, and deep respect for the inner life. 

My approach is gentle, reflective, and deeply human. I create safe, welcoming spaces where people can slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with their own wisdom and creativity. Rather than fixing or directing, I walk alongside clients as they clarify what matters most, honor their gifts, and live more fully into their calling.

I am especially drawn to working with people who seek to serve something larger than themselves, whether that calling is spiritual, humanitarian, creative, or rooted in care for others. Many of the people I work with are helpers, healers, caregivers, leaders, and elders-in-becoming who are asking meaningful questions about purpose, legacy, and how they want to live in this season of life.

The guiding principle behind my work is Arete, a Greek concept meaning excellence of character and the fulfillment of one’s highest potential. It reflects both my professional values and is a personal tribute to my late spouse, who embodied the spirit of Arete in his personal and professional life.

For me, Arete is not about striving or perfection, but about becoming more fully oneself, with integrity, compassion, and intention.

If you are longing for clarity, meaning, or a deeper alignment between who you are and how you live, I would be honored to walk with you.
