How I Can Help

One-on-One Leadership Coaching for Nonprofit Leaders

This is not a one-size-fits-all program. Every nonprofit—and every leader—is different. That’s why my coaching is designed to meet you where you are.Whether you need to gain clarity on your priorities, create better systems, strengthen your leadership presence, or simply find a way to run your nonprofit without feeling exhausted all the time—I’m here to help.We work together in a 90-day structure, one month at a time, so you get the ongoing support you need without a long-term commitment.

Get clear on what’s working — and what’s weighing you down.

Before we jump into coaching, this assessment offers you a chance to pause, zoom out, and see your organization from a systems and leadership lens.
It’s designed to help you uncover what’s supporting your growth, what’s creating friction, and what your next aligned step might be.
Whether or not we work together, filling this out is a powerful step toward leading with more clarity, sustainability, and self-trust.

My story

You don't have to burn out to make a bigger impact

For years, I worked alongside visionary leaders—entrepreneurs and nonprofit founders like you—who were brilliant at dreaming big but drowning in the day-to-day.I saw their passion turning into exhaustion. Their purpose felt further and further out of reach, buried under emails, team drama, and endless “urgent” tasks.That’s when I realized something important: leadership isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most. And to figure that out, you need space, clarity, and tools to reconnect with your vision and trust yourself again.This work is personal for me. As an Executive Director of a global nonprofit, I’ve seen and felt the impacts of burn out. I've also seen what’s possible when leaders step out of the weeds, realign with their purpose, and create sustainable systems that actually work. And that’s why I do what I do—so you can create the impact you’ve always dreamed of, without losing yourself in the process.Ready to reclaim your calm and lead with clarity?
