About Me
My Credentials
I've been a lot things over the course of my life: a starving artist, a massage therapist, a yoga teacher, a graduate student, a psychology professor, and a coach. The common thread through all of it has a passion for creativity, healing, and growth. I've always felt a deep desire to make the world a better place, to help other people grow and becomes their best selves. I love that coaching gives me the opportunity to do that every day.
In addition to my coaching work, I'm a professor at California Institute of Integral Studies, an author of fiction and non-fiction books, and huge nature lover. I recently moved to beautiful San Francisco and couldn't be me more thrilled to be here.
