Every person has a role to play in sparking transformative social change. But let's face it: sometimes getting clear on your vision and taking inspired action towards your goals can seem a daunting task.

As agents of change we too often power through our work... exhausted, uninspired, and overwhelmed. Convinced that this is “just the way it has to be.”

Or we say yes to everything, worry that we’ll never get it all done, and end up ineffective and unfulfilled.

Or we are so desperate to bring about our big vision, that we don’t see any possibility for how to get started in the here and now.

I’ve seen it over and over again (and I’ve absolutely been there myself). Exhaustion leads to burnout and frustration, even cynicism. And soon, brilliant people are holding back from giving their gifts to the world.  This breaks my heart! At a time when our community needs us most, we don’t bring forth our most creative and visionary selves, and we don't take bold action. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. You have the capacity to be clear in who you are and what you stand for, and to live your life in a way where you end your day more energized than when you started. Let’s see if coaching can help.

🌊 Is Coaching for Me?

Coaching is for you if you want to rise above the fog of confusion and overwhelm so you can develop the skills to consistently take action towards your vision.

My pragmatic approach teaches you how to create lasting shifts in the way you see and do things — long after the high of an “aha” moment wears off. Coaching can help you move past your stopping points and really do the things you’ll be proud to look back on.

I work with social change leaders of all stripes, looking to bring more clarity, focus ease and grace into their life. I specifically coach:

• Progressive political campaign staff and candidates who want to foster collaborative, inclusive campaign culture and find their dream job.

• Environmental & human rights campaigners facing burnout, who want to build a life they love while fighting for the causes they believe in.

• Volunteer organizers and activists seeking guidance on balancing their volunteer work with other life commitments.

• Progressive nonprofit staff and managers looking to lead collaborative, equitable teams and make a bigger impact towards systemic change.

• Social movement leaders seeking to uplevel their leadership skills and bring their fullest gifts to their organizing.

• Writers who want to get their work out there and make more space in their life for creativity.

• Tech Professionals who want to contribute meaningfully to social justice in their community.

🌻 Coaching Might be For You If You Are...

• About to launch a new project and are worried about how much energy it is taking to make it happen

• Navigating a job transition and need support making a clear decision

• Spending more time and energy worrying about “the state of the world” than on meaningful action towards your goals

• Ready to take your vision to the next level but don’t know how or where to start

• Burning out and exhausted in your social change work, and ready to make a change

• Bored with what you're currently doing and ready to get clear on what you'd love to do next

What my clients say about me 

🙌 My Approach

Literally anyone can call themselves a “coach!” Given that, it’s important to find someone qualified and well-trained. Coaching is just as powerful as psychotherapy, and ought to be treated with the same professional rigor and respect.

I’ve logged over 500 of hours of professional coaching experience since 2017, and am rigorously trained through the Academy for Coaching Excellence. I am a Professional Certified Coach by the International Coaching Federation.

My approach is grounded in principles found across spiritual and secular traditions, from ancient wisdom teachings to the latest research in neuroscience. In coaching I share an elegant framework of tools and practices for living your values, realizing your vision, and empowering others. 

My approach honors the wholeness and dignity of each person, and affirms our capacity to move beyond internal limitations and navigate external obstacles with grace. As a coach I don’t give advice or tell you what to do, rather, coaching puts your own wisdom into action.

Some useful distinctions about what coaching is and is not: 

• Therapy is about healing and insight; coaching is about action.

• Consulting prescribes expertise-based solutions; coaching emboldens you to act on your own wisdom. 

• Mentoring guides you based on a mentor’s wisdom; coaching guides you according to your own values and intentions.

• Training follows a set curriculum toward set objectives; coaching reveals your own objectives and a path to fulfill them.

• Coaching supports you to get clear on what is truly important to you and to move forward past where you are currently stuck 

🌞 My Story

I’ve been involved in progressive organizing, activism and social change work for the past 12 years, with a focus on reproductive rights, climate justice, youth empowerment, and anti-war organizing. I studied Peace and Conflict Studies at Naropa University, and have undergone thorough professional coach training with the Academy for Coaching Excellence. I am an accredited coach with the International Coach Federation and have logged over 500 hours coaching experience and passed a rigorous certification process.

I believe culture-shifting lies at the heart of social change. Coaching is one important tool and skillset I’m offering to support a shift in culture towards a world rooted in love and justice rather than fear and disconnection. I’ve seen coaching support leaders to thrive amidst uncertainty, and in these times I believe that we must bring our most creative, visionary selves to social change work since the stakes are so high. I live in Berkeley, CA and am passionate about music, modern dance, Jewish ritual and community, urban farming and youth mentorship. I strive to embody justice and equity in my coaching practice and regularly take part in training around dismantling white supremacy and gender bias in my work.

💸  Package and Rates

Package: My starting package is 6 months, two 55-minute sessions per month: Long enough for meaningful results, short enough for a doable commitment — and we can always renew from there.

Rates: I stand for a world where everyone is supported 100% and no one is left out, and my pricing reflects that vision. I offer coaching on a sliding scale:

$250/month If it’s a stretch to be investing in coaching right now
$350/month If you’re financially stable
$450/month if you’re financially flourishing or receiving organizational funding.

Everybody’s situation is different, and nobody knows yours better than you. No need to disclose your income or justify your choice to me — I trust you 100% to choose the tier that is an authentic stretch for you. For your sake, I don’t want this to be a hardship for you — AND, I don’t want you to “underpay” in any way that might “leave the door open” for you to disengage or give up on the transformation you are here to get from coaching. I occasionally am able to offer pro-bono coaching or a reduced rate for people who are a great fit for coaching and couldn’t otherwise afford it.

Monthly fee includes 2 sessions/month plus unlimited text and email support from me.

Clear Contract: You can see my sample contract for more details on how we work together. All clients sign a contract like this to signify the beginning of our coaching relationship.
