Additional details

Coaching delivered via live sessions and .

My coaching style is warm, practical, and collaborative. I provide a confidential, nonjudgmental space for physicians to reflect honestly, clarify what matters most, and navigate career and life challenges with greater intention. You are resourceful and whole. I am empathetic and informed by experience and curiosity. Coaching is not the same as mentoring, colsulting, advising, or therapy. Rather than prescribing answers, I use deep listening, thoughtful questions, and physician-specific insight to help you recognize your strengths, identify meaningful choices, and take realistic next steps. We address the whole person—career, health, relationships, family, identity, and purpose—while keeping the work grounded in your real-world circumstances.

Physician Coach for fulfillment & well-being at all career stages

With more than three decades of experience in anesthesiology and medical leadership, I bring deep clinical and organizational insight to help physicians navigate career challenges and create more sustainable, fulfilling professional lives. My commitment to physician well-being was shaped by witnessing the devastating effects of stress and substance use among colleagues. After personal health challenges redirected my path away from clinical practice, I focused my energy on advocacy, organized medicine, and professional coaching in support of physician well-being—from residency through retirement. I offer a safe, confidential harbor where physicians can gain insight into their values, strengths, and goals, reconnect with what matters most, and move toward a future they can truly embrace. Together, we create space for honest reflection, renewed perspective, and purposeful next steps. Specialty choices or changes, job transitions, communication challenges, imposter thoughts, leadership aspirations, family time and work-life balance, practicing while living with illness, retirement decisions, and legacy are among the topics we might explore as partners in a coaching relationship.
