A Little Bit About Me

My deepest passion lies in helping you improve your life today. You have an innate drive towards connection, aliveness, and success, a primal urge that gives you the strength and courage to change, regardless of what you face along the way. I’m here to help you do that.

I came to this place in a kind of circuitous way. After earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in Chemistry (Harvey Mudd College and then Princeton University), I spent 15 years in the biotechnology industry working in Operations for start-up companies. Although I was quite successful in my career and I enjoyed the never ending, high energy challenges of start-ups, my first career never quite fit the deeper me. I had to honor my own primal urge to do what I love, help you come alive.

When I learned about the deep challenges we face as a culture, I knew I had to listen to my own deeper voice. I decided to completely rebuild my professional life from the ground up, first getting a Master’s Degree in Psychology and then training in Somatic Experiencing® and the Neuroaffective Relational Model^TM. I offer coaching sessions because as the daughter of narcissist parents, personal work changed my life. I moved away from feeling crisis-driven on a daily basis, to instead experiencing each day with greater aliveness and success and enjoying more satisfying relationships.

One of the cornerstones of how I work with you involves helping you uncover the survival strategies that you may have developed during childhood that you still may unknowingly use today. This approach brings about organic self-compassion, an antidote to the self-criticism so many of us struggle with.

Are you curious about how we might work together?  Let’s talk.

And the day came when the risk to remain in the bud was more painful than
the risk it took to bloom.
