Career Clarity Coaching

Grounded, rigorous, compassionate support for high-achievers searching for more

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.
— John O'Donohue

Welcome, All of You.

You’ve worked hard to get to where you are today. But now you’re feeling burnt out, trapped, or lost in your career. You find yourself fantasizing about rage quitting your job and changing careers completely. But something is holding you back.

  • Maybe you feel something isn’t working with your current job, but “it’s fine” or “it’s not that bad” because it’s prestigious, respectable, and well-paid, and you don’t know what you else would do anyway.

  • Maybe you’re curious about doing something else, but you fear it’s too late to make the jump - you worry that you don’t have the skills, you’ve invested too much in your current career, or you’d look silly as the “old” intern/newbie.

  • Maybe your current job affords you a very comfortable life and you worry that the thing you’d love to do won’t be able to support you or your family financially.

You say to yourself - this isn’t it, but the next thing I do could be even worse. I might lose the respect of my friends, family and colleagues. I might make less money and still hate my job. I could totally fail; then where would that leave me? It’s better to just stay where I am - at least it’s safe here.

I’ve been there. I’ve made the jump. Let me help you.

My Approach

What you’re facing is scary! When we stand on the precipice of something big like this, we all need someone beside us who we trust will be there for us no matter what. How often in life do we come across someone who is wholly committed to helping us cultivate our own flourishing, where they have no agenda other than to help us advance towards our goals, and where we’re not being evaluated, assessed, or judged, but simply held? And how often do we have a space that’s dedicated to us, where we feel deeply seen, where all of us is welcome, and where we can be completely and utterly ourselves?

That’s what I do for my clients. I hold space. I listen deeply. I help you do you.

My clients report many of the following outcomes:

  • Deeper understanding of themselves, who they are, and what is theirs to do in the world.

  • Clearer sense of purpose and direction, and greater alignment with their values.

  • Improved capacity to notice their own self-limiting beliefs and interrupt their self-defeating behaviors.

  • Increased self-confidence, self-awareness and self-compassion.

  • Decreased stress/anxiety and improved capacity to communicate and act from a centered presence.

  • More empowered and greater sense of agency.

  • Increased capacity for joy and creativity.

I am an Experienced Coach and Practicing Lawyer

I help conventionally successful professionals design a life that’s true to them. The way we’ve been approaching career planning isn’t working. We’re asking fundamentally the wrong questions. The question isn’t “what should I do next.” It’s “who am I?” “what truly matters to me?” “what will I do with my one wild and precious life?”

I am an experienced coach and attorney based in Seattle with an expertise in supporting professionals in career transitions. I offer 1-on-1 career and life coaching for professionals who are feeling burnt out or stuck and who are considering a career change but don’t know what to do next. I partner with each of my clients to design a personalized coaching program that supports the development of greater internal coherence and cultivates long-term excellence. My coaching is evidence-based, grounded in philosophy, psychology and neuroscience, and my approach is compassionate, rigorous and practical.

As your coach, I am your partner, guide, advocate, cheerleader, and friend. With my expertise and experience, I help clients see what’s possible - a life filled with joy, passion, and meaning, guided by their North Star and supported by purposeful work.
