Professional Credential and Personal Assets

I am a certified Presence-Based® Coach (PBC). This model blends the most powerful approaches to human development on the planet, including from the emerging fields of somatics and neuroscience and developmental psychology, with an emphasis on learning to keep your head above water in a complex world. PBC is a Coach Training Program accredited by the International Coaching Federation and endorsed by Strozzi Somatics. 

My work is trauma-informed and resiliency-focused. I have extensive experience as a professional Resiliency Educator with Resources for Resilience™. In 2015, I helped found this 501c3 that operates in the public health sector, “sharing tools to support everyone’s capacity for wellbeing.” These include the most current information on how we safely connect (and reconnect) with others and ourselves for the sake of what matters most. If you wish to apply these practices of self- and other-compassion in our work together, they can serve to jumpstart and sustain whatever is on your coaching agenda.

Uncensored play, good humor, and bold imagination are some of my core values. With warmth and empathy, I will provide a solid, nourishing relationship as you face new possibilities and risk asking, “Why not?” 

Spiritual inquiry is not always a component of coaching. But if it’s on your list, I can help you access a wide range of powerful images and words, music, and other symbols that are a good fit for you and serve to enrich your development. My ongoing experience as an Episcopal minister in a progressive, arts-focused community specially equips me to assist you to preserve your moments of transformation through thoughtful celebration.
