A few things about me...Mother, wife, physician, therapist navigating life in a two-physician household.  Career changes, life changes, children.  Associate professor, educator, research, leader and director.  Tech consultant, board member, mentor, advisor, coach and all the wisdom a lifetime offers.

 

My professional journey brought me from a small-town upbringing along the Mississippi River to the upper echelons of academic medicine including Columbia University, Oregon Health & Science University, and the University of Missouri.  Over two decades, I have trained and mentored 100s of medical students, residents, and faculty; served in leadership for a large academic Department; produced research; written numerous peer reviewed articles; served on boards; maintained a clinical practice; and consulted with medical technology companies - all while raising children with a physician husband.  

 

Mine has been a winding path with unexpected shifts – a change in specialties, time off to have children, and more.  These shifts have not always been easy.  They have required courage and deep reflection but have eventually allowed me to align my values with how I spend my time. I have never felt more freedom and space.  I have gained a deeper understanding of the connections between motivation, happiness, and success.  My goal now is to share this with my clients, to help them cultivate self-awareness and potentially gain access to self-actualization while navigating systems where the path often feels pre-made.  

 

I have been through it.  If you are feeling uncertain about where your path is taking you, in conflict, facing burnout, or contemplating a personal or professional transition, I can help.

 

As your coach, I bring a demeanor that is reliable, thoughtful, intentional, and infused with curiosity - mirroring the ethos of Opus Coaching & Consulting. My approach is deeply personal, reflecting a commitment to not only understand where you are but also where you dream to be.

 

Through a personalized blend of integrated coaching methods, I am dedicated to facilitating the kind of transformative change that resonates on a profound level, fostering both professional excellence and personal fulfillment. The essence of our work together is about more than navigating transitions; it's about unlocking the potential for a life imbued with greater meaning, satisfaction, and joy.
