Hello!

Let me tell you a little bit about myself…

I am a certified Life Coach, Executive Coach and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner based in California in the Los Angeles area. I work with clients locally in Pasadena, and around the world via video conference.

Let me tell you a little bit more about myself…

I am also a trauma specialist, teacher, speaker and playwright. I created the first academic program on self-esteem implemented into the California Public School system. I’ve worked in the circus and I’ve been a standup comic.

I believe in the idea of being a professionally interesting person. And I encourage all my clients to embrace their complexities, celebrate their contradictions and be wide open to saying “yes” to the world.

The writer in me believes we are all in the process of writing the story of our lives. We design our own narrative and we write from a point of view that we choose, nobody else. We pick what characters we want in our story and we decide which ones to “kill off” at the end of chapter three! As the hero of this narrative, we design our “character arc” - the transformation we make throughout our story as we respond to the changing developments in the plot. As Arthur Miller wrote in Death of a Salesman, “(You) can’t go out the way you came in, (you) have got to add up to something.”

I believe as a life coach you have to be insanely committed to your people. After all, it’s their lives we’re talking about. This is why I offer a free consultation, so that we both feel certain we are a good fit for the ride on which we are about to embark! I also strongly believe that most of the growth in life coaching happens between sessions when the client is actualizing their personal goals. For that reason I offer with no extra charge, touch points for my clients - so that they can reach out to me between sessions.

So, what are we going to do? We’re going to reintroduce you to yourself. We’re going to explore parts of you that you’ve forgotten existed. We’re going to identify your values, discover new passions, reignite old ones, make plans, create goals, change habits and never lose sight of what is remarkable about you!

(Oh! I am a graduate of Northwestern University, The Coaches Training Institute and the Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute. I am also a member of the International Coaching Federation.)
