You belong here. You are ready. You are not alone. 

These are the three powerful and comforting truths that came to me during a harrowing climb to the summit of Mt. Rainier in 2005. Those guiding truths set me on the path of a lifelong career in coaching — working with teens, adults, and more recently, couples — who are facing the wilderness moments in their lives.

I’ve been an Integral Coach since 2007, and a certified Ceremony Celebrant and Wedding Officiant since 2010. I’m also a grief counselor, a certified Community Building Facilitator, an inspirational speaker, and a conference emcee.

Each of these roles is part of my mission to carry forward the message I received on Mt. Rainier — to bring light, presence, and healing to hurting and hungry hearts. I believe my purpose is to mirror back the innate wholeness we all contain, and to help each person I work with hear their own inner teacher, speaking beneath all the noise and static of the world.

I’m deeply devoted to creating and nurturing spaces that empower people to embrace their true power — so they can bring their much-needed, unique gifts into the world.

I grew up in Central California but fell in love with the Arkansas River Valley as a teen. Today, I live in the glow of my favorite mountain, Mt. Princeton, with my chef husband and our beloved pup, Lucy-Lou. Though I feel deeply rooted in the mountains, I have the heart of an explorer — both spiritually and physically — and have wandered the world from the Himalayas to the Australian Outback, Trinidad to Greece, and more recently to Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Panama, and Patagonia.
