Coaching and Guidance for Emerging Leaders and Nonprofit Workers

Centering Equity and Purpose

Part of my commitment to equity is supporting purpose-driven leaders, particularly people with marginalized racial, gender, and neurodiverse identities.

Incorporating tools from positive psychology and my own experience navigating nonprofits, coaching covers a wide range of skills, including:

  • Leadership

  • Self-advocacy

  • Boundary-setting

  • Conflict resolution

  • Change management

A Holistic Coaching Approach

My coaching approach focuses on comprehensive well-being, building you up with the resilience, strategic knowledge, and confidence you need to become an effective, caring, and enduring leader.

Ways I Can Help

Each proposal I create is customized and co-created with my clients in a thorough but efficient process. This results in a “right-sized” engagement for your budget and capacity - no “one size fits all” plans here!
