MY CV

I’m a certified Mental Health Coach. I’m not a therapist, social worker, or psychologist. I don’t make clinical diagnoses, nor do I treat serious mental health conditions like addiction or complex psychiatric disorders.

I work with “sub-clinical” clients –– people experiencing mild to moderate levels of challenge. Since 2017, I’ve supported folks going through tough stuff like relationship issues, grief, depression, anxiety, and all manner of personal setbacks. I’m particularly adept at working with midlife transitions –– let’s just say I’m well acquainted with the terrain :)

My vibe is non-judgmental, emotionally attuned, and grounded. I have a knack for noticing details without losing sight of the big picture. Together, we’ll saunter along your growth edge, making room for complexity and exploring what’s been waiting to emerge. I’ll offer you steadiness and stretch, always honoring your agency.

Outside of private practice, I develop the curricula for Lyra Health's Mental Health Coaching Program. I train Lyra coaches in evidence-based models of care derived from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. The coaching program has demonstrated meaningful outcomes.

I provide coaching supervision and ICF-mentorship to professional coaches from all over the world. I’m also co-founder of the Somatic Coach Practicum, an ICF-certified coach training program, launching in fall of 2026.

As a thought leader, I’ve designed and lead workshops for startups, VC firms, and global entities such as Salesforce and ImpactHub. I’ve spoken about Mental Health Coaching at Columbia University, Sustainatopia, and various podcasts. My writing can be found in Choice Magazine, HuffPost, the Lyra blog, and Substack.

A former award-winning actor and arts educator, I hold an MFA in Theatre and live in Berkeley, CA.
