I feel passionate about helping people reach a turning point and move towards greater freedom and joy. Having experienced the power of coaching myself, both professionally and personally, I know it works! Â
I graduated from the United States Air Force Academy and served almost 9 years as an officer before transitioning into my current position as a defense contractor. With over 30 combined years, I have extensively studied organizational dynamics. I practice leadership, communication, and process improvement skills on a daily basis. Having successfully navigated through workplace challenges along the way, I feel more empowered today than ever before.
I am intimately familiar with 12-step and other recovery programs actively working my own issues as well as partnering with individuals dealing with grief, chronic illness, addictions, co-addictions, career progression, aging, mental health challenges, divorce, single parenting, "coupleship", and family of origin issues. Throughout I’ve learned the richness of “peeling the layers of the onion”.
I am grateful to live with my husband on the central California coast in Orcutt where I can enjoy outdoor adventures year round. It has been an amazing place to raise my children and get involved in the community.
Along with my Turning Point Coaching clients, I am also a contractor providing coaching to individuals and families receiving services at the Family Counseling and Trauma Healing Center in Solvang, CA. This work is extremely fulfilling!  Trauma Healing Center
