Professionals who want to love their work again
Your work no longer feels the way it once did, and you want that to change. We’ll pinpoint what’s missing and decide what to do about it: a new role, or a new way of approaching the one you have.
When things look right but don’t feel right.
Something is shifting, and the same questions keep coming back. I work with professionals, founders, and parents who are ready to meet change, face what’s true, work out who they are now, and choose a way forward they can stand behind.

WIP stands for work in progress. We all are, me included.
Who I coach
I help people welcome the changes in their lives and turn circling the same questions into clear decisions they can stand behind and act on.
Aspiring founders
You can’t let go of the idea, but you’re unsure whether to commit or where to begin. We’ll test your assumptions, sharpen your vision, and land on a clear decision and a first step.
Parents entering a new chapter
Your kids are becoming independent, and you’re asking who you are when you’re no longer needed in the same way. You’ll leave with a clear picture of the relationship you want with them and what you want your own next chapter to hold.
About me
For years, people have come to me when they’re facing a hard decision and need someone to think it through with. They leave with clarity, direction, and a next step they believe in.
I learned early that a life that looks right and a life that feels right are not the same thing.
The gap
Maybe you know that gap. From the outside, things are working. On the inside, something doesn’t match, and keeping it all together takes more energy than anyone sees.
What we do together
Together, we’ll name what’s true, work through what’s hard, and redefine who you are in the roles you hold now, as they and you keep changing. You’ll leave with a path you can act on and stand behind, and the tools to adjust it as you change.
Where I come from
I’ve built and run businesses, coached parents in Silicon Valley, and worked in values-based education across Germany, the UK, and the US. That range means I understand the pressure of building something and the questions of identity and purpose that come with it, at work and at home.
How I’m trained
I’m certified in Logotherapy, a meaning-centered approach, and by the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI). My approach pairs a focus on meaning and values with a firm belief in your ability to choose and to change.
I’m warm, and I’m not afraid to ask the questions you’ve been avoiding. Whatever comes up, you’ll have room to say it, and we’ll work toward a decision you can act on.
Coaching with me
Coaching with me is a focused, confidential space to think out loud, say what you haven’t said elsewhere, and see your situation differently. You bring the willingness to look honestly at what’s there. I bring my full attention, experience, intuition, and questions that guide and challenge how you think and what you feel.
How we begin
We start with a discovery session, a chance to see whether the chemistry is right. If it is, we agree on what you want from the work, what matters to you specifically, and how we’ll protect your confidentiality.
How I work
Change lasts when it’s felt as well as understood, so we work with both. I don’t hand out answers. You’ll get clear on what matters most to you and the direction you want to take, and leave with tools to keep finding your way as life, and you, keep changing. I adapt my methods to what you’re open to: more analytical, more body-based, or a mix.
Inside a session
We open
Each session opens with what you want to work on and why it matters to you right now.
We go deep
There’s usually a thread running through our work, and each session puts a sharp focus on one part of it. Going deep on one aspect at a time builds the bigger picture and helps you meet the larger challenges.
We close
We close by naming what shifted and what you’re taking with you: a journaling prompt, or an idea to reflect on, like the difference between self-care and selfishness.
50 minutes
Sessions are 50 minutes and fully online, so you can work from wherever you are.
5 or 10 sessions
Most clients choose a package of 5 or 10 sessions, paid upfront, and we can tailor it to your needs.
Frequently asked questions
What happens in a discovery session?
It’s a free conversation of about 20 minutes to see whether we’re a good fit. You tell me what’s on your mind, I explain how I work, including that I offer questions and tools rather than ready-made answers, and we both get a feel for the chemistry. There’s no pressure to continue.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Therapy often looks at the past and works on healing, particularly when mental health is involved. Coaching focuses on where you are now and where you want to go. We do go to the hard places, but the aim is a way forward you can stand behind. Coaching isn’t a substitute for therapy, and if I think you’d be better supported there, I’ll tell you. I work well with people who are in therapy or have done it, and the two often complement each other.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what you’re working on. Most clients choose a package of 5 or 10 sessions, and we can tailor one to your needs. Packages can be renewed if you want to keep going, and many clients do. After the discovery session, I’ll give you an honest view of what would serve you.
What does it cost, and how does payment work?
We’ll talk about this in our discovery session, so the package can fit what you’re looking for. I don’t want cost to keep anyone from benefiting from coaching, so please ask. Packages are paid upfront, by Venmo or other common payment apps.
How do online sessions work?
Sessions are 50 minutes by Zoom or FaceTime. All you need is a quiet, private spot and a stable connection. Many clients find the privacy of their own space makes it easier to speak openly.
Is what I say confidential?
Yes. What you share stays between us. We agree on how your confidentiality is protected at the start of our work, along with anything else that matters to you specifically. There are a few narrow exceptions: if I believe you or someone else is at serious risk of harm, or if I’m required by law to disclose information. In those cases, I would tell you first whenever possible. And if we ever cross paths in real life, I’ll follow your lead on whether to say hello.
Do I need to prepare?
Not required, though it helps to reflect or journal between sessions. We always start from where you are in that moment. The best preparation is to give yourself a minute to arrive inwardly before we begin, so you’re in the space you want to take off from.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel?
We can always move a session if a time becomes unavailable, and I’ll be as flexible as I can. I kindly ask for 24 hours’ notice.
