About Me
After working for over 30 years as a Physician Assistant and Primary Care Provider, I found myself experiencing burnout in a way that stole my joy, my time and my desire to get up in the morning and do it all over again. Being a single parent made work-life balance a nice thought but never a reality. After my own personal experience with coaching, I gathered the strength and courage to make the leap and started my life coaching practice. I had no idea how much my life would change. Now I have a lifestyle where I can create my own schedule, enjoy my hobbies and have time to be with those I love. It was not easy at times, but it can be done. If you are ready to may a change but need support and accountability or know you need a change but do not know where to begin, I will support you in exploring your ideas, identifying what is stopping you from achieving your goals, and support you in creating a plan to make your visions and dreams to become a reality.
Coaching Experience
I am a graduate of the Born to Coach training academy and a Certified Professional Coach as well as an ICF certification from the Health Coach Institute. I have led group coaching programs for health care professionals at Valley Medical Center in Renton, WA. I bring a unique blend of medical training, compassion and practical guidance to my coaching practice. My expertise in healthcare has given me a deep understanding of the human experience – physically, emotionally, and mentally.
My Coaching Philosophy
I work with individuals who are ready to create meaningful change in their lives – whether that means navigating life transitions, redefining personal or professional goals, or building confidence and clarity for the future. With a focus on whole-person wellness and intentional living, I help clients uncover what is holding them back and support them as they step into the life they truly want. One thing I know for sure is that without happiness, fulfillment and joy in life, our physical health cannot be optimized. While coaching is not mental health therapy, it is a forward-thinking, no-judgment, powerful and professional method to turn possibility and “what if’s” into accomplishment, confidence and contentment.
