1:1 Coaching
This work is for you if you are in the next stage of your journey toward alignment and meaning. You may have a specific topic you are working through - contemplating a transition in career or life, for example, or striving to find a new approach to a recurring challenge. Perhaps, though, what you are interested in now is something that is more subtle, a sense that your life is asking you to meet yourself in a new way.
My approach as a coaching partner is grounded in a lifetime of experience with transition, self discovery, and healing; practice at the intersections of individual and social transformation; and work in academia, social enterprises, nonprofits, finance, and tech companies, as an individual contributor and leader (more of a “professional bio” here).
In my coaching journey I have trained primarily in Co-Active Coaching and various forms of embodiment and somatics practice (lineages of generative somatics, Staci Haines, and Strozzi).
In my personal journey beyond my academic and work experience, I have also engaged with different perspectives from meditation, psychotherapy, bodywork, creative practice, psychedelic experience, and anti-oppressive and liberatory frameworks (taught by AORTA, The Embodiment Institute, SEEDS, thirdspace somatics, wildbody somatics, and others).
My own experiences fill me with compassion, hope, and awe for our human experience and a belief that within all of us is the possibility to transform the way we relate to ourselves and the world.

What my clients have said about working with me as a coach
“Working with Stephanie gave me clarity on my professional purpose and the kinds of roles and organizations where I can thrive. She helped me recognize my own leadership capacity, while also providing guidance for navigating tricky situations in my current role. Her coaching has been invaluable in helping me grow with both confidence and direction.” - A.B.
“I had the pleasure of working with Stephanie for nearly six months, during which her coaching played a key role in my career growth. With her support, I earned a promotion and raise, improved my communication with my supervisor, and clarified my long-term career direction. What stood out most was Stephanie’s professional, yet personal approach. She took the time to understand my goals and offered tools that prompted deep reflection. I highly recommend Stephanie to professionals at any stage, especially those in leadership or management, who are seeking to grow, get clarity, and reach their full potential.” - M.L.
“Stephanie was a fantastic coach to work with as I worked through a career transition. She helped me think deeply and creatively about what I am looking for in the next phase of my life and profession. Our discussions and the activities Stephanie facilitated for me opened my mind and heart to new ways of thinking about the world and how I can contribute in my career. If you are facing a pivotal point in your career, Stephanie is a wonderful partner to support you on the journey.” - S.R.
“I reached out to Stephanie after I was RIF'd. I had been applying to jobs for a few months and was feeling defeated - unsure of what direction I wanted to go in. During my initial consultation with Stephanie I immediately knew it would be a great fit. My goal was to get clarity on the career path I wanted to follow moving forward. I really enjoyed that she used various tools to help me clarify my vision for the future - both those that would be considered traditional coaching strategies and others that were more out of the box (e.g., centering exercises). What I appreciated most is that she wasn't there to give me the answers (even though I kind of wanted that at first) but really made me look within where I already had the answers. Working with her really helped me build back up my confidence - which in turn allowed me to show up as my best self when I got a new job - which aligned perfectly with what I was looking for.” - K.C.
“It was immediately clear when interviewing 6 coaches that Stephanie was the only one I wanted to work with. I felt comfortable sharing everything to make this relationship work. Over time, that never changed. She helped me get a good understanding of a new career path and options I never would’ve thought of. It’s extremely difficult to do this alone so I’m truly grateful I found her.” - P.K.
