More Details

I am the founder and President of Guiding Change Consulting, Inc, a professional certified coach, coach supervisor, organization development consultant, and author who previously worked as a public interest lawyer. I bring intercultural insight and a passion for social justice to my work. Using authenticity, clarity, and compassion, I help leaders and their teams transform themselves and the world by accessing their inner wisdom and tapping into their wisdom, passion, and creativity.

I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. My professional life began in Boston, MA, with a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University and a law degree from Northeastern University School of Law. I went to law school with the goal of using the law to help create positive social change. After practicing law in Anchorage Alaska and studying law in Kyoto, Japan, I become disillusioned with the adversarial process. Rather than take sides in win-lose scenarios, I wanted to find ways to help organizations develop work environments that are inclusive and just. It was that desire that led me to return to school in Washington, DC, to receive my master’s degree in organization development from American University/NTL. As I came to see the power of individuals to create personal and organizational change, I became interested in coaching.
