Executive Leadership Coaching

In today’s rapidly shifting and uncertain landscape, senior leaders in higher education, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations face unprecedented stress, complexity, and pressure. I help these leaders navigate ambiguity, build resilience, and lead with greater confidence, clarity, and compassion.

My mission is to partner with executive clients to create lasting transformation—not just temporary relief—by helping them move from overwhelm and self-doubt to grounded decision-making, stronger stakeholder relationships, and purpose-driven leadership.

Drawing on my background in clinical psychology and three decades of senior leadership in higher education, I integrate evidence-based therapeutic tools (CBT, ACT, IFS) with leadership coaching frameworks to support whole-person development. This rare and powerful combination helps clients build self-awareness, emotional agility, and the capacity to lead authentically and sustainably—even in times of profound institutional and personal challenge.

1. Sustainable Transformation

I believe in deep, durable change—not surface-level fixes. My coaching helps clients understand root patterns, shift long-held narratives, and cultivate the skills and inner resources needed to thrive long after our work together ends.

2. Leadership in Uncertainty

Today’s leaders are called to lead through volatility, polarization, and cultural change. I support clients in staying steady and effective amid disruption—strengthening their ability to act decisively while staying aligned with their values.

3. Whole-Person, Whole-System Coaching

Leadership is personal and systemic. I coach the whole person—mind, body, and emotions—while attending to the systems in which they operate. I help leaders recognize how internal dynamics (e.g., anxiety, perfectionism, fear of failure) intersect with external demands, culture, and politics.

4. Evidence-Based Tools, Human-Centered Practice

My approach integrates clinical training in CBT, ACT, and Internal Family Systems with executive coaching models and adult development theory. These therapeutic frameworks are accessible, practical, and transformative when applied in coaching contexts.

5. Equity, Inclusion & Empathy

Having navigated institutional leadership across public and private institutions, I deeply understand the weight leaders carry in advancing equity and inclusion. I provide space for leaders to wrestle with these challenges authentically, with empathy and accountability.

6. Strategic Insight Meets Inner Work

My experience building teams, managing conflict, leading change, and shaping campus culture gives me an insider’s view of institutional dynamics. I pair this strategic understanding with inner work that builds resilience, enhances emotional intelligence, and deepens leadership presence.
