Sounds like you are standing at the cusp of profound transformation—ready to step into your true self and the beautiful potential you’ve always carried. As a coach, I see not only your dreams but also the inner greatness that longs to be realized. My background as a physician grounds my work in deep respect for both human vulnerability and resilience, allowing me to create a space where you feel truly seen, supported, and challenged to grow. 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. Through thoughtful reflection and concise, insightful feedback, I help you discover the clarity and confidence to take bold steps forward, knowing you are not alone on the journey.

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. That inspired me to dedicate myself to coaching—helping individuals create fulfilling careers and lives aligned with their values. Whereas my clients have come to coaching with struggle and a feeling of heaviness and friction, they have left feeling resilient, accomplished, and more clear about the immediate and longer-term steps that will build their success and fulfillment.

I have several areas of expertise.   First, I work with emerging and established leaders who got to where they are because of their stellar reputation as a hard-working, bright individual contributor. But now at this higher level, they are pulled in competing directions and feel that, despite burning the candle at both ends, they’re still not getting it all done. They sense that work shouldn’t be this hard but don’t know how to create ease.

I coach professionals to reclaim mental space—truly disconnecting at night, on weekends, and on vacation. I help them gain the visibility needed for advancement without sacrificing wellbeing, and sometimes to recognize that the right move isn’t always upward, but toward work that reconnects them with purpose. Ultimately, I guide people toward clarity—their own North Star—so they can design a career and life aligned with their values, not just others’ expectations.

As well, I work with physicians who entered medicine with a passion to serve, yet whose experiences have left them disillusioned and burned out. As a physician myself, I deeply understand the hurt and betrayal that we feel through repeated real-life experiences in this profession.  When I work with physicians, it is from this place of shared experience and genuine understanding. Together, we widen the frame of what’s possible, exploring not only new directions within medicine but also paths beyond it. No matter where your journey leads, you will leave our work feeling a renewed sense of ownership over your choices—free from the heavy weight of expectations —and connected again to the deeper sense of purpose that brought you to caring for people in the first place.

I also work with individuals and couples around the tender terrain of intimate relationship. My work supports people in both repairing and reimagining their connections—cultivating wellbeing, harmony, and a sense of deepened intimacy. I help clients uncover the clarity and confidence needed to voice their desires, while fostering communication that is both effective and compassionate. Together, we explore the emotional undercurrents that so often fuel repetitive cycles of conflict, transforming them into opportunities for understanding and empathy. I also guide people through some of the most sensitive and often unspoken areas of partnership—navigating differences in desire, addressing challenges in sexual health, and nurturing the trust and safety required for intimacy to truly flourish.

What would it be like to have a physician as your coach?
