What We Might Explore Together

You don't need a crisis, or even a clear problem, to begin. I like to start with whatever's most present and unresolved for you right now, big or small, and go from there. Some of the places we might explore:

Life Transitions & Next Chapters

A new city, a career change, the end of a relationship. I've moved through many myself.

Purpose & Fulfillment

You've done the things, and yet it doesn't feel like enough. Clarifying what actually matters, and moving toward it.

Relationships & Connection

Getting clear on who lifts you up, and who might be holding you back.

Family & Legacy

Navigating the complexity of family, evolving roles we play, and succession planning.

Technology & Presence

Our relationship with screens, social media, and AI. I've felt how heavy it can get, and how freeing the other side is.

Energy & Vitality

Exploring what genuinely lights you up, and what's draining you.

Some Background On Me

For 10 years, I worked as a strategist, helping brands, government agencies, and NGOs understand where they are, where they want to be, and how to close that gap. First as a strategy and operations consultant at Deloitte, then as a corporate strategist leading brand-wide planning and transformation for the likes of Calvin Klein, Tommy Hilfiger, and Cole Haan. Most recently, I've been advising and investing in early stage startups across consumer, technology, and wellness, and supporting the generational transition of my family's business.

More importantly, these last 20 years have been a journey of real personal growth. I've spent a tremendous amount of time trying to understand who I am, what genuinely makes me me, and how to build a life I'm truly excited about. Through therapy, coaching, breathwork, meditation, plant medicines, and a lot of honest looking inward, I've learned to work with a busy, overthinking mind instead of against it, and I've felt how much a life can open up when what you're living finally lines up with who you are.

And here's what I keep coming back to: I love nothing more than helping people feel more alive, with more zest, vitality and passion. I help people take control of their life and decisions, so they live a life they are genuinely excited about, that feels fully theirs. And so they won't wake up in 20 years and wished they made more aligned choices right now.

I help you get clear on where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there, in a way that's true to who you really are. It won't be quick, and it won't always be comfortable. But it's possible, I've seen it.

Currently, I'm finalizing my Leadership Performance Coaching credentials (ICF Level 1) through Brown University and ACT Leadership. I'm also a certified Somatic Breathwork Practitioner via SOMA+IQ.

Why Coaching?

It isn't therapy, and it isn't advice. It's a rare kind of conversation. Together, we get clear on what's most present for you right now, where you want to go or what you need to work through, and how to actually get there. Then we build a plan, and I help you follow through, which is half the battle.

I believe your answers are already within you. Life, in all its complexity, has just gotten in the way. Together, we get quiet enough to see what's really going on, and to hear what you already know. I won't give you answers or my opinion, you can find a mentor for that. I'll help you find your own, the ones already within you.

Whatever you're moving through, there's a way forward. Let's find yours, together.

From there, we'll build a plan, together. Simple as that.
