I began my career in fundraising for the UNC Chapel Hill Medical School, then moved to San Francisco in 1999. From there I worked in domestic violence prevention in the workplace (Family Violence Prevention Fund); career management education (Alumnae Resources); and then was the administrative manager for the UCSF Medical Center Neurology Outpatient Practice.
I stepped off the traditional career track at that point to study Somatic Psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. That led to living and working for a few years in an intensive spiritual community. A profound retreat experience in many ways, part of that study included relationship dynamics and best practices in communication and connection.
I was lucky to be gifted with mentorship by someone who was trained in the Dave Ramsey financial counseling model, and he kindly helped me get a grasp on the money thing. It was some of the hardest work I have ever done. First for my own finances, and then later in an apprenticeship arrangement seeing his clients together.
Over time, I trained in small business administration, the Profit First Professional Fractional CFO method, mediation, and addiction and codependency recoveries. (Along with re-engaging with deep passions for tennis and partner dancing.)
Since 2010 I have worked with a wide variety of individuals, couples, and business partners. All ages, races, cultures, and ways of identifying are welcome in my practice.
