I hold 25 years of experience in driving change that fosters personal growth, enhances cultures, and boosts business outcomes. Clients say they appreciate my ability to craft practical, innovative, sustainable solutions for complex challenges, and how I show up as a strategic, values driven, and credible partner. I’m told I build trust quickly, creating safe spaces for high stakes discussions that clarify current state, define a path forward, and generate commitment and momentum.

As a professional coach for over a decade, I am dedicated to unleashing leadership potential. With my coaching clients I seek to create a highly engaging, focused, and reflective space for individuals and groups to accelerate their development. In this process I also draw upon my leadership and organizational development background, providing tailored support to navigate complex situations and cultivate effective habits.

I’m based in the historic Cathedral Hill neighborhood of St. Paul, Minnesota with my husband Tom and dog Willow. I enjoy gardening, hiking, theater, spending time with friends and family, and indulging in science fiction and fantasy. My future dream? Working from a sunny retreat for a month of winter.
