Coaching Practice

Why I Coach

My personal experiences with somatic and Jungian therapy, combined with my work with a coach on professional-purpose inquiries, inspired me to become a coach. Both experiences resonated deeply, offering shared languages and modalities of self-discovery that continue to shape my approach as a coach.

I see coaching as a way to help others uncover their authentic and kind selves—qualities I valued and practiced during my years as a team leader. Coaching enables people to live more aligned lives, where happiness, lightness, and efficiency are not just aspirations but achievable states.

What I Do Through Coaching

I create a space for individuals and teams of leaders to discover deeper clarity about themselves and their challenges. Through thoughtful listening and powerful questions, I guide my clients to explore their narratives, emotions, and even their physical expressions, leading to personal or professional breakthroughs. Coaching is a non-prescriptive journey of insight, lightness, and transformation.

My Approach to Coaching

I am trained as an ontological coach. Ontological coaches view communication as a product of the language (including themes and narratives) brought into an interaction, the emotions (and moods) that may be present, and the physical body.

Coaching sessions can be thought of as my holding a space of listening and uncovering powerful questions, where answers arise from within my client. While progress can sometimes feel non-linear, explorations invariably feel deep, and insights, resounding.

While my life experiences occasionally result in my sharing suggestions or takeaways (with permission), my approach is foundationally non-prescriptive.

Matters My Clients Work On

Coaching topics can pertain to both professional and personal challenges (though these often overlap). Some of the explorations my clients have worked on include:

     •           Preparing for and executing difficult conversations—whether for action, understanding, or resolution.

     •           Honing authenticity in leadership.

     •           Finding purpose in their work or navigating career transitions.

     •           Clarifying values and aspirations, sometimes in the context of familial or organizational dynamics.

     •           Working with teams or groups of leaders for strengthening dynamics through open and honest conversations.

Anything you need help in looking inward to explore further may benefit from a coaching conversation.
