I’m certified in Transformational Coaching and Somatic Bodywork, and trained in both Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness. These approaches form the foundation of the CLEAR framework and the way I meet each client: with presence, compassion, and depth.


While navigating high-profile roles, I also committed to a deep inner practice.

I spent nearly 15 years as President and CEO of Cleveland.com, then led a publishing startup and held senior roles at American Greetings and in county government.


I bring a unique blend of executive leadership and contemplative practice to my work as a coach.

My Qualifications

Boating, hiking, and working remotely from places we love… it’s a life shaped by intention, not convention. If you can dream it, you can live it.

My husband and I have reimagined how we live—splitting time between our home base in Ohio, the coast of Maine and the wide-open beauty of the Southwest .

I am an artist. I love creating and reflecting the world around me. My work is in private collections in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maine and Arizona.

I love styling dried flowers, they're used as decor throughout my house.

I was a vegetarian for 12 years, and am now a proud vegan!

I'm fascinated by light, and love capturing the way the shadows dance across blank spaces.
