My clients have come from a variety of sectors including healthcare, nonprofit, legal and government. The sector is less important. Rather, I have found success with clients who are committed to radical honesty and seeking alignment in the personal and professional lives.

Often clients come to me with a challenge at work, usually pertaining to a possible transition. After some exploration, we usually discover that the challenge is reflective of a larger transition point in their lives and often what they really want is a new way to think about how their work and personal lives honor their current values and priorities.

As whole human beings, it is difficult for us to fully compartmentalize ourselves into person A at work and person B at home, and I argue that this often leads to a sense of misalignment and malcontent. In my work with clients, I strive to help uncover who clients really are in an effort to help them cultivate a work (and yes, personal) life aligned more closely with their values. I have found that this strategy leads to sustainable change and much more joy. I consider it a profound privilege to accompany folks on this journey.

I spend time encouraging clients to go deeper, to search for “the answer beneath the answer” and give space to do so. We then use those powerful clues as anchors to guide our focus and action planning. I offer accountability and partnership. Above all, I strive to encourage because I know firsthand how difficult or scary “trying on a new way of being or thinking” can be, even as I have seen time after time, that it is often the doorway for our individual breakthroughs.

As an actively practicing physician, I have come to deeply respect the innate wisdom we all have and I always want to help nurture and bring forth that powerful voice within us. My deep desire is to see as many people as possible operating at their highest potential. I truly believe that this paves the way for the deep healing we need as a planet, as well as for important and urgent sustainable innovation and change.

I am a proud coach, educator and facilitator.

I was trained in “Healing Centered Coaching” – a modality whereby we co-create a space for growth to enable clients to cultivate a life aligned more closely with their values. I also draw upon my experiences as a physician, a leader and an educator to help shape the questions I ask and the overall work we do together.

I am deeply growth oriented so usually I am connecting with like minded souls, reading, listening to podcasts or watching interviews with and by people I admire and am inspired by (including close friends and family!). I am a mother to a rambunctious toddler and constantly humbled by the never ending growth opportunity that is parenting! I am a wife to an incredible physician and partner and am always striving to cultivate a relationship that is of service to ourselves and to our community of care.

I am a creative who paints, writes prose and poetry and enjoys art in its many forms. I am a daughter and sister and am always working to carry my parents’ powerful examples about love and service in the world forward in the way I live my life. I am a proud Tanzanian immigrant and a newly minted American citizen who keeps her heritage close and thinks hard about the incredible privilege and responsibility of good citizenship. I am a deeply feeling empathic soul who wants to live life to the fullest, with every breath I have left, and I remain forever grateful for all of the opportunities I have had in my life. I look forward to paying it forward.

I coach during regular business hours and hold after hours and weekends as sacred time with my family and community.
