Advising & Coaching
Seminars, Workshops, Retreats
For Individuals, Families, Groups
My job is to support your success and well being by helping you get where you want to go, providing inspiration and the tools to get there.
The subtext of Reach & Thrive is Learn.Create.Relate.
Thrive is right there in the name. Reach is, too.
And there is a reason for each one.
I believe that too often we accept that we have to settle for getting through the day, or the year,
which is the opposite of a sense of thriving in our lives.
And I believe to thrive, you must continue to learn throughout your life, actively create the life you want, and a hallmark of a well lived life includes the ability to relate well to others while you create the mosaic of the life you desire.
Over the last thirty years, I’ve mentored and coached employees, students, and clients.
For some, a solution can be found in a single engagement where the objective is swiftly met; in other cases, I’ve worked with individuals over years.
For families and small groups, areas of focus are generally around communication and conflict resolution of some sort. Conflict is not always an explosion; many times individuals in community, whether a family or other small group, are aided when they have an outside resource in navigating challenges.
If a proactive approach is something you seek, I not only applaud that, I recommend it! Think of working with me like prioritizing a good diet and exercise as a part of a healthy life. Addressing potential challenges before they erupt, during any life transition, can be a wise approach.
Public speaking, teaching, facilitating, creating group experiences and programs are a joy for me.
I’ve created diverse programs over the years, ranging from 12 month programs for an intact group to structuring a private retreat for one. While I lead groups of students abroad for weeks at a time, I’m just as excited to curate a smaller program or single presentation, refining the content of interest and presenting it in a way that engages and leaves something of value.
This area of my work has existed since I taught physics labs when I was an undergraduate. It has continued through career transitions with for-profit organizations as well as with groups in non-profit and social organizations

Whether with one person, an intact or created group, or a large audience, I always aspire to…
Listen, Support, and Advise.
Offer this work with care and humility.
Diligently work to stay informed and educated about the areas we’ll be engaged in.
Invest in my own coaching and advising so I’ll be best able to support you.
Base my perspectives on a holistic and systems approach, balancing the rational and the emotional, research and experience.
Act in concert with my belief that all life is interconnected, inwardly and outwardly, from an individual perspective and across individuals, groups and communities.
If this speaks to you,
I’d like to have a conversation to see if we are a fit.
Please note: I am not a therapist, and work with me is not therapy, even though it may at times seem therapeutic.
In some cases, individuals, couples, and families who work with me may also engage a therapist, before, during, or after. In these instances, I manage those boundaries with care and respect for the work support therapists provided.
Let’s See if We’re a Good Fit…
When you’re ready, let’s have a conversation that focuses on your needs, whether that carves a pathway to the career you aspire to, solves a dilemma, provides a talk to inspire, or reframes the mosaic of your life.
Together, we’ll collaborate to achieve your personal and professional goals.
