Welcome friends…

I’m a determined, optimistic, driven, idealistic individual who is a bit of a rebel. I love to create innovative solutions for vexing problems and challenges.

I adore our 4 legged critters, Ellie, Rutherford, Gwennie the Pooh Bear, Sejal, Peppermint Patty, and Lady Blue Eyes, and am beyond proud of the two children we’ve raised and launched into the world.

I’m a baker of homemade breads and sweet rolls and share them freshly warm out of the oven with neighbors, dear friends, and family.

I enjoy capturing photos of special moments, breath-taking sunrises, and sunsets.

My favorite exercise is dancing to a great cha cha, hustle, or Viennese Waltz.

When I’m sad, I play moonlight sonata on the piano or cello.

I am blessed and deeply grateful for cherished friends, family, colleagues, and for being trusted by patients and mentees alike.

Linda is truly a gifted coach. She brings so much warmth & wisdom to our sessions. One thing that I especially appreciate about my work with her is her ability to shed light on something I hadn’t previously seen or was able to connect the dots for me. Linda is kind AND direct. She has this way of using strategic imagery to really help make a fuzzy thought or idea feel more clear. I am so grateful for the clarity she helped me arrive at.
