“I don’t know what I want to do or what I am meant to do, but I DO know that I DON’T want to keep doing what I’m doing.”

That was me in 2012 … and in 2011 … it had been going on for a while. It wasn’t that things were terrible.  I was doing good work with good people and getting paid very well for it.  I was just over it.

And I KNEW (in my gut) there was something more I needed to be doing with my life. 

My heart was no longer in my work. and I had already re-invented myself a few times. It was time to make a real change. 

On a number of occasions, I have made bold moves and big transitions in my life. I’ve moved from the East Coast to Chicago and back again. I’ve worked for a large corporation, community-based nonprofits, a new consulting company, and started my own businesses. Twice I’ve resigned from jobs, once with no real plan and once for a year-long sabbatical.

With each of these transitions, I went through a process of discernment - I listened for my purpose, for who God (Spirit, my True Self) was calling me to be in the world at each juncture in my life. I then did my best to make decisions consistent with that guidance.

These experiences – along with years of personal growth and development; intensive training in communication and deep listening; dozens of retreats, workshops and mission trips; formation and training as a spiritual director; as well as my professional experience as a project manager – have all led me to being a coach and spiritual director.

 I now have the honor and privilege to help others gain clarity, get unstuck, and pursue their purpose so they can live a more whole, meaningful, and joy-filled life. 

If you hear yourself in any of this, I would love for us to have a conversation. I can listen deeply to what you are wrestling with in your life and help bring some focus and clarity.  You can learn more about me and how I work. And we can both determine if we are a good fit for helping you move forward with confidence.
