Transformations that ground and uplift you in challenging times.

I have worked with hundreds of individuals as they navigate personal, professional, and existential challenges during this time of entangled crises. 

Together, we find your most natural way to:

  • get clear amid chaos
  • dismantle grief and fear
  • regain agency and creative power
  • move from paralysis to inspired action
  • intentionally adapt in ways that protect the people, places, and possibilities you love 

I help conscientious leaders who are wrestling with questions about meaning, direction, and belonging as we face an uncertain future.

You may be:

  • dealing with exhaustion or disillusionment
  • sensing that your old identity no longer fits
  • redesigning your work around changing realities
  • trying to remain fully awake without feeling anxious
  • searching for a wiser way to live in an unstable era

You are not looking for formulas or frameworks.

You are looking for emotional steadiness, a more conscious way to live now, and the courage to make changes that matter.  

My clients are feeling the varied impacts of today's turmoil:

    🔸Young adults feeling robbed of their future.

    🔸Creatives facing their fear around AI.

    🔸Non-profit leaders overwhelmed by funding cuts and political animosity.

    🔸Employees getting laid off due to a shifting economy. 

    🔸Executives aging out or being forced to exit.

    🔸Those who must move due to climate change, social unrest, or financial instability. 

    There are two ways we can work together to help you make critical choices and smart changes now:

    Why Collapse-Aware People Are Choosing Companioning Over Coaching or Therapy

    Many of my clients have already done coaching, therapy, and/or personal development programs. At this pivotal moment, they want to work with someone who is clear about our crises and holds space for honest reflection and informed re-imagination of their options.

    They recognize that what has value now is honest awarenesslived experience, and the courage to face the truth.  

    They want to stay grounded and adapt through care, creativity, and collaboration. 

    As a deeply experienced companion, I can help you find your own best ways to live fully now without panic, denial, or despair.

    What I offer draws directly from my lived experience, including:

    • decades spent overcoming repeated loss and grief 
    • small-town roots and a global perspective
    • life-long focus on creative adaptation 
    • experience as a mindfulness trainer, breakthrough coach, and trauma-informed facilitator
    • work as an educator, writer, and non-profit leader
    • personal adaptation in seven countries

    I am a U.S. citizen living in Amsterdam and working with clients everywhere.

    While informed by my experience, this work is also rooted in the latest research on anxiety, habits, and adaptation.

    The Good News:  We Can Find Our Way Through These Challenges Together

    Despite the unpredictability of what we will be facing, what's clear is this: we cannot continue to live in the same ways, with the same expectations, or with the same understanding. 

    We need to both evolve and return to our highest regard for care and collaboration.

    Many of us are longing for this. You, too?
