Every day is filled with choices. Some are really easy. Some are made for us, whether we like it or not. And some are better faced with a little help. There are no magic answers and having someone on your side doesn’t always mean you’ll hear exactly what you want to hear. Sometimes it means dealing directly with the hard stuff. And when you are faced with hard choices, you may need support along with meaningful feedback. As your coach, advisor, and advocate, I will provide both.

Focused on you

LIFE | HEALTH | GROWTH | CHANGE

Susan coached me to focus on myself, and not at the expense of others. She helped me overcome insecurities that kept me from being a success at work.
Thank you, Susan!

Coaching For What Matters Most

Whether you're navigating your next big decision or simply seeking clarity on where to go from here, I offer coaching that meets you where you are and helps you move forward.

One-on-One Coaching for:

Career and leadership transitions
Health-related behavior change
Grief, loss, and life after caregiving
Navigating the healthcare system as a patient or caregiver
Making complex or emotional decisions with confidence

End-of-Life Decision Support

End-of-life planning isn’t about giving up - it’s about living well and with intention. My doctoral work centered on helping healthcare providers communicate with families at the end of life. Today, I extend that work to individuals, families, and communities.

Whether you're planning for yourself or a loved one, I offer coaching and group workshops on:

Advance directives and healthcare proxies
Having meaningful conversations with family and medical providers
Clarifying personal values and quality-of-life preferences
Care planning and legacy preparation

It’s never too early to start these conversations—and it’s never too late to bring peace to difficult decisions.

Bringing Compassion and Clarity to Life’s Most Important Choices

Workshops and Group Programs

I offer customized workshops and group coaching for organizations, community groups, or private gatherings. Topics include:

Reinvention at Any Age
End-of-Life Decisions
Navigating Grief & Growth
Health System Navigation for Families & Caregivers

Let’s design a session that meets your needs and supports your team or community.

Do You Need a Coach?

Working with a coach isn’t about being told what to do. It’s about being truly heard. A coach can be:

A thinking partner and accountability ally
A motivator and support during uncertainty
A guide through complex decisions
A confidential sounding board
A challenge when you need a push
A source of clarity when you’re stuck

Coaching is not therapy. If your needs include mental health diagnoses such as major depression, substance dependency, or trauma, I can refer you to a licensed therapist. As a nurse, I am also a mandated reporter if safety is a concern.
