Hello and welcome! I'm a Professional Certified Coach and Industrial/Organizational Psychologist. I've spent the last 20+ years focused on bringing the best out of people in their careers and in their personal lives. I've assisted my clients to succeed across a variety of organizations and industries, where I've delivered complex, award-winning programs in coaching and mentoring, leadership and employee development, training, and change management.
As a professional coach with more than 400 hours of formal coach training and over 800 hours of direct experience in coaching a wide variety of clients, there is no hiding my passion for helping others to construct the life they want to live!
For career and leadership coaching, I have served numerous established leaders, executives, professionals, and young adults transitioning from college and beginning their careers.
My personal story as a mother and wife led me to be a passionate advocate for those with ADHD, and I completed specialized training and extensive education in Executive Function (EF) and ADHD coaching. I am also a recognized speaker for EF/ADHD professionals and coaches, professionals, parents, and teachers. For EF/ADHD coaching, I routinely work with professionals, young adults, teens, parents of children and teens with EF struggles or ADHD, and spouses/partners of adults with EF difficulties and ADHD.
​
Most importantly, I deeply care for my clients and for their goals and successes. I approach all of my coaching relationships with a kind heart, with a sense of humor, and with a strengths-based approach focused on positive psychology and an appreciation for the unique gifts we all bring to this world.
​
​
Where do I coach?
​
​For clients who are local to the Northern Virginia area, you have the option of meeting for our coaching sessions in person at my office in Reston, VA or at another mutually acceptable location, or meeting "virtually" over the phone or via a video chat mechanism (like Facetime, Skype, or Google Hangouts). If you have a busy schedule, meeting "virtually" can help you avoid spending time commuting in the snarled traffic of the Washington, DC area.
For clients who are not local to the Northern Virginia area, you can choose to hold your coaching sessions over the phone or via video chat. Coaching works very well via these virtual mechanisms from anywhere in the world, so it allows for us to work together effectively regardless of your home or work locations.
