I live in Western Colorado's North Fork Valley, splitting my time between mountain trails, cultivating intentional community, & the fascinating terrain of the human mind.
These might seem like disparate interests, but here's the thing: we're told to pick a lane, to be one coherent thing. But we're not simple, & life isn't either. The magic happens when we stop trying to edit ourselves down & start getting curious about the whole messy, beautiful picture.
So, I help people get curious about themselves & their lives—because this is the first step to getting unstuck. That curiosity moves you from self-criticism to self-acceptance, from inner conflict to inner harmony. When we open up to exploring deeper questions of identity and meaning, we cultivate the inner connections that naturally lead to clear, confident action.
As a certified Martha Beck Wayfinder Life Coach, I bring equal parts playfulness & depth to our work. I ask good questions. I pay attention. And I believe this completely: you already have what you need. You're not behind. You're right on time.
My approach is grounded in the belief that you already possess the wisdom, compassion, & creativity needed to live your most fulfilling life.
I'm here to help you connect with and trust what you already have.
So often we doubt our capacities and try to fit ourselves into lives that fall short of our expectations. We think we are broken.
But I believe there's nothing to fix—the magic unfolds when we pay attention to what's calling & allow ourselves to shift in ways we never imagined.
My process combines thought work, mindful presence, & somatic tools. I'm currently completing Martha Beck's Wayfinder Life Coach Training Program (graduating July 2025); an accredited ICF (International Coaching Federation) training curriculum.
I also weave themes of IFS (Internal Family Systems) into my coaching as a framework for self-discovery and self-leadership.
My coaching draws from over a decade of Buddhist practice & extensive retreat experience. I incorporate practices that enhance self-awareness, compassion, and presence, & enjoy helping meditators- both beginners and advanced practitioners- navigate obstacles & deepen their spiritual practice.
The coaching process is backed by decades of scientific research in the fields of neuroscience, psychology, & sociology. Creating space to understand ourselves and our internal perspectives can produce measurable neurological changes, such as enhanced self-regulation, emotional well-being, & cognitive flexibility.
I believe healing happens from the inside out- when we turn inward, getting curious about the complexity within, rather than fighting it.
Curious inquiry is rooted in presence- the space from which we explore your unique beliefs, patterns, & experiences.
Coaching isn't just my profession—it's a personal practice of embodying what I offer. I'm deeply committed to this ongoing process of living the growth I hope to facilitate in others.
nature-based coaching
Nature has always been my refuge—a place to step away from the pressure to be successful and productive. Yet even in the stillness of wild spaces, I couldn't escape feeling like I wasn't living life "right." I was haunted by seemingly simple questions: What do I really value? How should I be spending my energy? What do I want to do with this wild and precious life?
That question led me to coaching—not for someone else's answers, but to uncover my own. Combined with Buddhist meditation, it helped me loosen materialist expectations & return to myself. I learned to listen inwardly with greater kindness, leading my life from inside while spending as much time outside as possible :)
my goal is to help you become so connected to your own inner resources that you will feel resourced to navigate life's challenges with confidence and clarity, long after our work together ends.
together we create a non-judgmental space where you can explore your truths without fear or shame.
free from criticism, your authentic voice emerges, allowing you to make choices aligned with who you truly are, within and outside of coaching sessions.
transformation through coaching isn't about becoming someone new—it's about shedding the layers that hide who you've always been.
this process creates lasting change that ripples through every area of your life, allowing you to respond to challenges with greater wisdom & live with deeper alignment to your values and purpose.
