The real energy occurs in each connection between two people, which can bring about exponential returns.

— Tom Rath

About me:

If you’ve ever felt lost, drifting, or looked around and wondered how the heck you ended up where you are, you are not alone. I came to coaching after a varied career in Human Resources, Information Technology, a few years as a stay at home mom, and almost a decade as a national bestselling author of fiction and nonfiction. Consequently, I bring logic, structure, creativity, and empathy to each coaching engagement. Please visit the Testimonials page for previous clients’ thoughts on our work together. 

My education and credentials:

  • Certified Integral Coach, New Ventures West

  • Adjunct Faculty for the Professional Coaching Course, New Ventures West

  • M.A. Columbia University, American Studies

  • B.A. Midland University, English, History, and Secondary Education

I’m originally from Atlantic Canada, and have lived in Des Moines, Boston, San Francisco, New York City, and finally, Omaha. When not working with clients, I’m gravel biking on Nebraska’s many dirt roads; reading (thrillers and nonfiction adventure stories are my current jam); knitting; traveling (the photos on this site are from a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon, and a trip to Tintagel, off the coast of Cornwall…and ask me about Antarctica!); and enjoying the company of my husband of 30 years and counting, and our college-age son.

Curious to know how I found my forward? Horses were involved!
