I built a career in complex, high-stakes environments.
Then I realized I was better at helping other people navigate theirs.
I am a leadership coach who closes the presence gap, both for individual leaders and for the teams they lead. Whether the work happens in a boardroom or a single relationship, the goal is the same: the kind of self-awareness that changes how you show up, not just what you know.
My path here was not a straight line. Years in program management, organizational change, and leadership development gave me a front-row seat to how leaders and teams succeed, plateau, derail, and occasionally transform. That experience, combined with rigorous training in validated assessment tools and presence-based coaching, shapes a practice that is both deeply analytical and profoundly human.
I hold an MBA and a coaching credential from the International Coaching Federation (ACC). I am certified in the Hogan Assessments, Everything DiSC®, and The Five Behaviors®, and Hogan 360, bringing a comprehensive multi-rater feedback capability to my work with leaders and organizations.
HOW I WORK
With teams
I start by surfacing what is actually happening beneath the surface, using validated assessments and direct facilitation with your intact team. The gap shows up under pressure, so that is where we work. Engagements are built around your real dynamics, not generic scenarios, and designed to leave your team with a shared language that holds up after I am gone.
One on one
Most coaching starts with goals. I start with truth. Before setting any agenda, I work to surface what is actually driving your current patterns, using validated diagnostics, direct inquiry, and candid observation. Engagements are typically six months, since meaningful change compounds session by session, not in a single breakthrough.

My approach to 1:1 coaching
My work draws on a range of evidence-based and experiential methods, including Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Time Line Therapy, mindset reframing, and somatic grounding practices. These are used contextually, not as a fixed protocol, but as the right tool for what the moment calls for.
This integration of cognitive, emotional, and body-based approaches is what distinguishes 1:1 work at NorthStar Mindset Coaching from coaching practices that rely on frameworks alone.
