About Me

After 25 years of working with public health teams, leaders, organizations, and directing a nationally-recognized youth program, I realized it was time to take my skills to another arena. 

People I supervised sometimes called me “Coach.” So I made it official by becoming a Certified Executive Coach with the International Coaching Federation.

I became obsessed with studying:

→ How we shape our beliefs.

→ How it actually is possible to change.

→ How to stay grounded in rough patches

→ How much easier it is with a coach

Having worked with CEOs, entrepreneurs, and many managers, my passion for leadership is on fire. It’s amazing how someone buried in burnout can rise again – even in a 45-minute session – ready to lead with clarity.

I am a straight-shooter, huge empath, and constantly developing myself so that I am as authentic as possible for my clients. I believe in the power (and science!) of coaching, and think it’s in our hands to make it a great life.

What is a coach? 

Coach Marcia Reynolds calls it a “thinking partner.” 

My job is not to give opinions or quick fixes. It’s to listen to you so acutely that I ask the right questions that help you change your own life. You drive; I’m along for the ride.

Unlike therapy, coaching focuses on who you’re becoming, not who you have been.

You could do that alone, but with a thinking partner, you’ll move faster, stay accountable, and feel supported in every step.

What’s The Avanti Method? 

“Avanti” means “move forward” in Italian. That’s what we do.

It starts with trusting yourself. That process takes time - but it can happen faster if you 1) own your actions and 2) want to change.

Get out of your own way. Get over yourself. Stop with the stories that aren’t even real or saying this is just how you are.

Identify, question, plan, practice. It’s that simple.
