What I do

I work with women nonprofit Executive Directors who are leading well by every external measure and quietly running on empty. The exhaustion is real. So is the gap — between knowing what you should do differently and being able to actually do it.

My job is to help you close that gap.

Not by giving you more insight. You already have plenty of insight. Not by holding you accountable to a set of commitments you've already made and broken. What I do is help you understand what is actually holding the gap open — at the identity level, not the performance level — and build the internal foundation from which real change becomes possible.

The result is leadership that feels like you again. Not a performance of leadership. Not a better-managed version of exhaustion. The actual thing.

Why this works

Most executive coaching operates at the surface. It helps you do things differently. This work goes deeper — to the place where your relationship with your role, your sense of what you're responsible for, and your belief about what happens if you stop have all become tangled together.

That's where the real work lives. And it requires a specific combination of skills to do it well.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Master Certified Coach — a combination that is rare in this space and directly relevant to the work you need. The clinical foundation means I can hold the full complexity of what you're carrying without reducing it to a framework. The coaching rigor means the work stays forward-facing — oriented toward where you want to go, not what went wrong.

Bowen Family Systems thinking runs through everything I do. It offers a precise lens for understanding how identity, role, and relationship shape the way you lead — and what it actually takes to lead differently inside a system that has learned to expect certain things from you.

Why this is for you specifically

I work exclusively with women nonprofit Executive Directors. Not leaders broadly. This role specifically — because the pressure it creates, the isolation it produces, and the identity-fusion it encourages are unlike anything a generic leadership framework was built to address.

You should not have to translate your experience into someone else's context. This work starts where you actually are.

If this is landing

The next step is a free 30-minute compatibility call. A real conversation about where you are and whether this is the right fit. No pitch. No pressure. If it isn't the right fit, I'll tell you that too.
