WHO AM I?
Over the past 8+ years, I’ve supported hundreds of people through my private coaching practice and through facilitating in-person workshops. I’ve successfully supported teenagers, parents, couples, and adults from across the country in becoming the healthiest version of themselves so they can show up in their lives with more grounding, trust, and ease, and so they can show up in their relationships with more understanding, listening, better communication tools, and self-awareness so that their relationships get to deepen and thrive.
I’m a Family Systems Coach because I’m passionate about helping the family as a whole flourish. I used to focus more on child and teen coaching but realized there is so much power in working with parents and the family system as a whole so that teens can make longer-lasting changes in their lives.
So as a Family Systems Coach, I’m here to best support your family in your unique needs. Maybe it’s support and coaching for your teen who is struggling with friendship drama. Maybe it’s couples coaching so that you as parents feel more connected and like a team, as you navigate life together. Or maybe it’s parent coaching where I support you, the parent, in parenting with fewer triggers, most trust, and connection with your kids.
So basically, I support the important relationships within a family or growing partnership—couples, parents, parent and teen, teens, everyone together, and even each individual's relationship to themselves.
I’ve been trained in a variety of educational, coaching, and therapeutic modalities—including but not limited to mindfulness, communication best practices, emotional and physiological regulation and trauma skills, self-compassion, and parts work. Prior to becoming a coach, I worked as a middle school teacher in Oakland and have worked with teens in some capacity for over 14+ years. Since leaving teaching, I’ve immersed myself in coaching and facilitating. Now, I’m the Director of Programming and Training for a leading transformation organization (COR and the CCF), in which I train our facilitators in facilitating rites of passage workshops for adults, I’m a facilitator of the Stanford course Compassion Cultivation Training, I’m a lead coach for Babyproofing your Relationship, have my complex trauma certificate through the NARM Institute, and I lead two to four rites of passage retreats for men and women once a year.
All of that can sound a bit stuffy, but trust me, I’m in this with you too. I have been with my husband, Nick, for 15 years and I’m a mother of toddler twin girls–Cassie and Alina–(thank goodness we made it through the newborn stage) and cat mom to Charlie. I love good IPAs and wine tasting, I am incredibly competitive, and I love all things Disney!
