About

I work with leaders who sense they are capable of more—more clarity, more impact, more alignment—but aren’t quite sure how to unlock it. With over 25 years of leadership experience in the U.S. healthcare system, including my work as a primary care physician, I bring both practical insight and deep presence to my coaching. My approach integrates conceptual, emotional, and embodied intelligence to support meaningful and lasting transformation. In my recent work, I’ve been exploring the intersection of human development and technology. I thoughtfully incorporate artificial intelligence into the coaching process to extend reflection, deepen insight, and support clients between sessions—while keeping the work grounded in human connection and judgment. I also integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed practices to help leaders better understand their internal dynamics, navigate competing priorities, and lead with greater self-awareness and intention. Clients often come to me when they are: • Navigating transition or uncertainty • Feeling stuck or repeating patterns • Expanding into new leadership responsibilities • Seeking greater purpose, confidence, or alignment • Working to improve communication or manage conflict Beyond coaching, I’ve led large-scale transformation initiatives, developed evidence-based coaching programs, and facilitated change management and team development across complex organizations. At the core of my work is a simple idea: when leaders become more connected to themselves, they lead others more effectively. Based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Also passionate about music, community, and supporting housing access through Habitat for Humanity.
