It started at Bullock's.
Even my very first job had hints of this. I worked at Bullock's helping women find the right suit, part style consultant, part creative partner. People would leave feeling more like themselves, and I loved that.
Then came the boardroom.
For more than 25 years, I worked in executive leadership, communications, and organizational change inside large, complex organizations. I spent 15 years at Blue Shield of California, including nearly four years as Senior Vice President of Communications, Corporate Citizenship & Reputation and more than 11 years as Vice President of Executive Communications & Visibility. I helped leaders communicate in ways that felt real and human, guided teams through change, and created moments of clarity, connection, humor, and momentum, even in demanding environments.
And now, this practice.
Today, I bring that executive experience into coaching. My work blends leadership, communication, wellness, and behavior change to help accomplished leaders cut through the noise, trust themselves, and move forward without sacrificing their wellbeing.
I believe people are at their best when they feel grounded, energized, connected, and fully themselves.
Honest. Practical. Lighter than you'd expect.
Sessions start with something that's surprisingly rare: a chance to stop, breathe, and actually hear yourself for a minute.
We slow things down enough to see what's really going on, your patterns, what's fueling you, what's draining you, and what you actually want. Then we get practical. Small experiments. Tiny shifts. Real-life-sized changes that make a difference.
And there's room for humor. Coaching can be deep without being heavy.
