Move through uncertainty with clarity, agency, & care.
1:1 coaching for people at thresholds of change, who want to cross consciously instead of going back to business‑as‑usual.
In work, and in the world, the old systems, structures, and assumptions are breaking down. Whether you saw it coming or you’ve been taken by surprise, the instability is likely breaking you down, too. If we can’t go back (and we can’t go back, I’m sorry), how do we move forward?
Maybe you’ve been hit by a visible shock, like a layoff, reorg, or policy shift. Even a positive change like a promotion can be a shock when reality hits. Or discomfort’s been creeping up on you, like climate dread, or slow burnout. Maybe your life looks fine on paper but feels increasingly off-center. I can help you slow down and get to what’s real.
For when “normal” is no longer an option.
This work is grounded, discerning, & deep.
It’s not about hustling you into the next big thing, optimizing your “personal brand,” selling you an answer, or soothing you into accepting the status quo. Pouring more into a broken cup will not hydrate you or satisfy your thirst.
I help you slow down enough to start to see the system, where you stand, and what you really need.
I hold space for you to listen to what’s ending, honor what hurts, understand what’s shifting and what that means for you, and experiment towards your own emerging future.
I bring empathy, experience, & training.
I know what it feels like to have the rug pulled out from under you. I lost both my parents to cancer at an age when I was still learning how to be a person. I chose a career path for “security,” only to find myself learning the meaning of “dissatisfied” in multiple corporate languages. And that security? I’ve been through multiple layoffs, transformations, and reorgs, having to relearn what “success” looks like every time. I’ve relied on volunteer work to balance my values with my livelihood, and gotten burned out. I’ve also thrown myself headlong into change, moving across industries, functions, roles, and geographies multiple times.
My formal training in transformation includes an MBA in Sustainable Systems at a creative, deeply change-oriented business school in the forest on Bainbridge Island, WA. That program broke me down and built me back up, in the best, most tender way. It’s where I became fluent in systems, and learned to continually question my assumptions. I now teach leadership in a similar program. My students are often carrying hope, grief, rage, and care for a world that feels hostile to all of those. Together, we work on staying with complexity rather than shutting down.
All of this shapes how I coach. I listen for patterns, not just individual moments. I see your situation as part of a wider context, not as a personal failing you have to fix. I don’t try to tidy your experience. I help you see the forces around you more clearly, and we look for meaningful choices that are actually possible from where you are now. In my experience, those choices are often more available and more powerful than they first appear.

Pricing
I offer a sliding scale for all of my services.
If you've just been laid off or become unemployed, you may not know yet what your financial picture will look like. That's okay. Choose the rate that feels true for you today, and know that we can revisit it if your situation changes.
If you’re stumped about what to choose, or the rates shown are absolutely not accessible to you, reach out and we’ll talk about it together.
Standard Rate
For those who can meet this cost without significant financial hardship.
For example:
You might be paying off debt or working to build savings, but you have access to steady income.
You do not spend most of your time thinking about meeting basic needs (including food, housing, and transportation).
You might have to cut back on some discretionary spending to afford the Standard Rate but the sacrifice is short-term.
This is the rate that allows me to do this work sustainably.
Sustaining Rate
For those with significant financial resources who want to actively contribute to broader access.
For example:
You have access to financial security, have personal savings, family wealth, or own property.
You are able to pay for “wants” and spend little time worrying about securing necessities in your life.
Paying this rate is a way of extending this work to people who couldn't otherwise access it.
It's participation in something larger than just our work together.
Community Rate
For those for whom the Standard Rate would create genuine financial hardship, not just inconvenience or sacrifice.
This rate is made possible by others who pay at or above the Standard Rate.
Limited to 5 spots per quarter.
