Physicians are experiencing unprecedented levels of burnout, largely due to increased RVU expectations, demanding patients, outdated workplace culture, and inflexible and often unrealistic working conditions. The situation demands immediate attention and intervention. To address these issues, both systemic reform and individual support are crucial.

I provide powerful 1:1 coaching, integrative departmental coaching programs, and inspiring speaking engagements focused on empowering physicians, physician departments, and hospitals alike to navigate, grow, and thrive in their medical professions. My work includes collaborating with physician departments and hospitals to drive systemic change, recognizing that the health of our medical professionals is interconnected with the systems in which they operate.

As an ICF-certified coach, I employ an evidence-based approach that fosters a compassionate environment, conducive to generating powerful insights and facilitating growth. Together, we can transform how you, your department, and your hospital navigate and thrive within this complex environment.

It felt as if she had a unique gift, almost like a sixth sense, that made her pick up on facets of my character and potential that had been hidden or overlooked. This skill, combined with her impressive repertoire of evidence-based tools, helped me find ways to move forward, especially when I felt stuck."
