A Heart & Science™ Approach

I am a Certified Executive Coach dedicated to helping leaders and teams unlock their full potential, elevate their awareness, and lead with clarity and purpose. I create a trusted space where clients can reflect, challenge assumptions, and catalyze breakthrough growth.

“What inspired you to become a coach?” is something that I often hear and love to answer. Throughout my career and personal life, people have frequently remarked that I have gifts for listening deeply and thoughtfully, simplifying complex ideas and synthesizing them into meaningful insights that I communicate with impact. In my corporate leadership roles, those gifts were instrumental in helping me build healthy, high-performing teams where people felt seen, supported, and inspired to drive results. Eventually, I realized that I wanted to apply those gifts with even greater intention and dedicate my life to coaching.

Before launching my coaching practice, I spent more than twenty years leading teams and building world-class brands at the intersection of business and creativity. My career spans executive leadership roles at iconic companies such as Mattel, MGM Studios, Spin Master, and Careismatic Brands, where I partnered cross-functionally with C-level executives and their teams across Marketing, Design, Sales, Finance, Engineering, Operations, and Human Resources to launch award-winning products and drive billions in revenue.

I received my coaching training from the world-class Hudson Institute of Coaching, earned my MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management, and graduated from New York University with both a BFA in Photography and a BA in Economics. I also draw on over two decades of mindfulness practice and training, including Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR). This educational mix reflects a unique balance of mind—structured, creative, and deeply empathetic—that I bring to every coaching session.

Today, my work centers on coaching leaders in creative industries and in healthcare, along with individuals navigating meaningful career and life transitions.

Ways That I Support Leadership Growth

Every leader faces moments of challenge and opportunity that could benefit from a trusted thought partner. Through coaching, I’ve helped executives gain clarity, build resilience, and step into their highest potential. Here are some of the ways clients have grown through our work together:

Leadership & Executive Effectiveness

I help leaders strengthen their presence, lead with confidence, and make an impact at the highest levels. From stepping into new roles to navigating boardroom dynamics, I partner with executives to sharpen decision-making, communicate with influence, and expand their leadership capacity.

Communication & Influence

Leadership is amplified through communication. I coach clients to communicate with clarity, presence, and authenticity—whether in one-on-one conversations, with teams, or on stage. From navigating difficult emotions to leading high-stakes discussions, I help leaders inspire, influence, and connect.

Personal Growth & Self-Mastery

Great leadership begins with self-awareness. I guide clients through identifying blind spots, overcoming self-doubt, and shifting limiting beliefs into strengths. With clarity of values, vision, and purpose, leaders are able to step into their most authentic and impactful selves.

Transitions & Breakthroughs

Every career and life chapter brings new opportunities and challenges. I help leaders navigate change, from facing career disruptions to redefining life and career direction. Together, we create breakthrough strategies that turn uncertainty into clarity and transition into growth.

Resilience & Wellbeing

Sustainable leadership requires balance and resilience. I support leaders in managing stress, preventing burnout, and cultivating practices that restore energy and focus. Through mindfulness, emotional regulation, and practical tools, my clients learn to lead with calm and clarity—even under pressure.

Team Performance & Dynamics

High-performing teams don’t happen by chance. I work with leaders and organizations to build trust, improve communication, and overcome dysfunction. Together, we create alignment, cohesion, and clarity so teams can thrive and deliver results with purpose and energy.
