Why this work?

From a young age, I witnessed people close to me struggling with mental health challenges. I thought I’d become a therapist until I realized my sensibilities were better suited for empowering people than treating trauma. After getting to be on the receiving end of coaching, I knew I wanted to become a coach- eventually! Now I’m 10 years in and going strong. I pinch myself that I get to do this for a job!

A little about my journey...

Born and raised in Omaha, NE, I was shaped by the Jewish value of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world).

I went on to study Human Development and Family Studies at UW-Madison, then spent years in people-focused roles—teaching English in Costa Rica and coordinating programs at nonprofits. It wasn't until I became a coach after having my first child that my work began to feel like a true vocation- deeply connected to why I'm here.

After a decade of coaching one-on-one and leading women's retreats, I achieved the highest level of coaching certification—Master Certified Coach through ICF—and was ready to bring these skills to a new arena: organizational health.

About me personally

I've been told I have one foot in the practical and one foot in the "woo"—you can't take the Midwest out of this girl, but I also love astrology podcasts. Both/and. The best compliment I've received? That I'm impossible to put in a box.

I live in San Francisco with my person and our three daughters—two human, one canine. Oh! And I love to dance!
