Feeling stuck in your career or relationship – or both?
You’ve worked too hard to feel like this.
When your work feels compromised, your relationship strained, and your days relentlessly full, it’s time to change course.
I help successful professionals move off autopilot and into clearer choices, deeper connection, and greater fulfillment.
What brings you here today?
I want more fulfillment in my career
- Despite your achievements, you may feel underutilized, overlooked, or not fully engaged in your work.
- You may not feel as fulfilled as you expected you would by now.
- You may feel worn down by self-criticism and relentless internal pressure.
- You may be longing to get your confidence back.
I want high-level thought partnership for a big idea or consequential decision
- A hard decision may feel stuck on repeat, with analysis no longer bringing clarity.
- You may want a sharp strategic collaborator — someone to get on the whiteboard with you — to shape a new venture, pitch, or idea.
I want to reclaim my relationship and feel connected again.
- You may feel lonely in your relationship.
- You may miss the version of your relationship that once felt alive, warm, and easy.
- You may struggle with mismatched desire, and be stuck in unresolved conflict over intimacy
How coaching creates change
Belief, with challenge
As a coach, I believe in your greatest potential that longs to be realized. I create a space where you feel supported and thoughtfully challenged in your work.
Inside a session
Clients often describe our sessions as a safe haven—one where they can be radically honest with themselves, gain fresh perspectives through illuminating questions, and experience ‘lightbulb’ moments that shift how they see their challenges.
The beginning of movement
Through coaching that sparks self-reflection and stretches your thinking, you will discover the clarity and resolve to act. Decisions feel less heavy. The first next step becomes visible. The course you chart is yours.
My background as a physician grounds this work in deep respect for both vulnerability and resilience. I’ve spent decades sitting with people in moments of uncertainty and transition — and I bring that same sacred regard, professionalism and ethical rigor into my coaching.
Why work with me
I am an ICF-credentialed coach and family physician with nearly two decades of experience working closely with people navigating challenge and change.
In my years of medical practice, I saw how stress, dissatisfaction, and feeling stuck at work deeply affected health and happiness.
Who I work with
Emerging leaders
High-performing professionals who built their careers as capable, hard-working individual contributors — and now find themselves pulled in competing directions, facing a career crossroads, faltering confidence, or a growing lack of fulfillment despite continued success.
Physicians
Physicians who want to widen the frame of what’s possible — whether by reshaping the mix of clinical, teaching, and research work to be more sustainable, reducing documentation demands, setting clearer boundaries, or thoughtfully exploring hybrid and non-clinical roles beyond traditional medical pathways.
Individuals and Couples
People navigating the tender terrain of intimate relationship who want to find their way back to one another — repairing and deepening clarity, communication, and emotional connection amid new responsibilities, caregiving, or major life changes.
My coaching approach
At the heart of my coaching is a simple belief: Every individual has incredible capacity for growth and transformation.
Our coaching sessions are a supportive and curious environment where clients become aware of fears and stay-small beliefs that limit confidence and motivation, and feel empowered to try on new mindsets that shift how they see themselves and what’s possible.
Many people arrive with one clear concern — career or relationship — and discover that clarity in one area reveals where they’ve been coping rather than truly thriving in others. We live integrated lives. Over many years of working with clients, I’ve seen a consistent pattern: friction or dissatisfaction in one area is often mirrored in the other. The core issues we work with — self-confidence, boundaries, communication, and alignment with values — tend to be similar. The gift of this work is that growth in one area frequently creates ripple effects across the rest of your life.
What you can expect from me
- You will have a safe space for your deep exploration.
- You will be challenged with thoughtful, curious questions, inviting you to see your situation – and possibilities – from a fresh perspective.
- You will have an accountability partner as you step purposefully into transformation in career, relationship, and life.
- You will have someone in your corner who believes that you WILL overcome your blocks and achieve powerful transformation!
- You will have a coach to celebrate your successes with you as you build your career and relationship in ways that fill your cup and serve your life purpose.

Take your first step with a complimentary 1:1 coaching experience to take a deep look at how you’re showing up in your career and/or relationship.
We’ll explore your current pain points, your goals and how coaching may be the powerful support you need.
Ongoing Coaching
Coaching is offered as an ongoing engagement, typically meeting every 1–2 weeks. While sessions are scheduled individually, most clients find that meaningful change unfolds over several months of consistent work.
Our work may focus on career direction, leadership presence and visibility, workplace dynamics, relationship communication, or the intersection of these areas.
Sessions are held by video or phone, with accountability support between sessions as needed.
Many clients work with me over a 12-week period or longer, allowing time to apply the coaching mindset to real-time experiences and interactions.

The Relationship Podcast
Thoughtful insights and the relief of knowing you’re not alone in the very human, sometimes messy, experience of relationship.
I co-host a relationship podcast, Geordie Lass & Doc Sass, with fellow coach and relationship thinker Sara Liddle. From opposite sides of the Atlantic, we explore the inner dynamics of relationships—especially the conversations people often avoid, including intimacy and desire mismatch. We offer validating reflections for moments when relationships feel confusing, strained or tender. With modern cultural takes on love as well as listener questions, we examine the patterns that shape connection, communication, and emotional closeness,
We may be serious about relationships, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously! Join Sara and I for real conversations and a lot of fun along the way!
