Welcome! It's my honor and joy to be invited into the lives of college women & grads. I hope you'll feel that when we're together.

I believe you're the expert in your life and the dreams you hold for it. 

My expertise is in the questions I know to be helpful in those conversations. Partnering this way, I trust we'll create meaningful conversations together designed to bring the impact you desire.

I'm quite interested in the story you've imagined about your college experience and how that story is being lived out or challenged in your current circumstance.

Narrative Coaching guides my conversations. I'm especially curious about the stories we hold about ourselves and our lives and those not yet being lived out in preferred ways.

As a Certified Narrative Coach, I'm less interested in setting goals or assigning directives and more interested in a person’s present experience of their life and the meaning it holds. 

My work is informed by post-modern perspectives and Feminist Theory. I'm often interested in exploring the ways gender, power, and privilege have shaped our realities.

While coaching is not therapy, my background in Narrative Therapy also inspires my work. Please refer to my coaching contract for more information in this regard. A woman's education is always with her.

Trained as a Narrative Coach, I studied under the instruction of the model’s founder, David Drake, Ph.D. I am a member of the Institute of Coaching at Harvard Medical School.

I completed a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Seattle Pacific University. My undergrad years concentrated on social service, psychology, and women's studies. I have post-grad training in grief support.

I'm committed to culturally humble coaching and am LGBTQ+ affirming.
