Are you an educator or academic who is searching for more work-life balance? Are you feeling isolated and overwhelmed? Or are you just looking for more clarity and accountability? Burnout runs high for educators as they juggle competing demands and navigate a sea of ever-increasing expectations. Regardless of career stage, educators need more social support and ways to connect to their own internal guidance.
My personal path as an academic and commitment to the principles of social justice has brought me to life coaching, which helps individuals align with their core values and step into their higher purpose. I believe that each person is whole and uniquely able to create a life filled with balance, ease, and joy. My clients seek to make big changes and show up as their most authentic selves. Using a playful, creative approach, I will challenge, encourage, and collaborate with you to clarify your vision and identify strategies to get there. As your coach, I am a partner and witness on your journey of transformation.

Is coaching the same as therapy?: No, coaching is not therapy. Coaching focuses on strategic planning and personal growth and does not attempt to heal emotional trauma. Coaches regularly refer clients to other professionals for issues that are better suited for a therapeutic relationship.
What are your rates?: My rates are on a sliding scale that is determined by your rank and income level. Universities and institutions often provide professional development funds that can be used to pay for coaching sessions.
