Welcome

 I’ve spent more than 20 years helping individuals and teams understand what is already strong within them. My background in higher education, leadership development, CliftonStrengths® coaching, and mindfulness-based practices has shaped how I approach this work—thoughtful, reflective, and grounded in real human growth. Coaching, for me, isn’t about fixing or pushing. It’s about helping people see their natural talents more clearly so they can use them with intention. 

The CliftonStrengths® Assessment (formerly StrengthsFinder), developed by Gallup, is a research-based tool that identifies your natural patterns of thinking, feeling, and interacting—the things you naturally do well. It helps you name what is strong in you, rather than searching for what is wrong. I use this insight as a foundation for coaching, helping individuals and teams understand how their strengths show up—and how to intentionally apply them with clarity and purpose.

For individual coaching, completing the assessment is highly recommended and often required, depending on the focus. For workshops or team sessions, I will let you know in advance if the assessment is needed. I can provide access codes and guide you through the process. 

 Both. I work with individuals seeking clarity and direction, and with teams who want to improve collaboration, communication, and alignment. Whether in a one-on-one conversation or a workshop setting, the goal is the same: to help strengths come to life in real, meaningful ways. Add an answer to this item.

No. Coaching is future-focused and strengths-based—it explores potential, purpose, and alignment, rather than diagnosing or treating mental health concerns. I am not a licensed therapist, and I happily refer when deeper support is needed.
