Expert Overview

I coach physicians who want to rewrite their story in healthcare by providing a supportive space to explore their passions, values, and aspirations. Together, we can turn feelings of disillusionment with practicing medicine into energetic, visionary change--whether you're seeking more fulfillment in your current role, more leadership, or a new career path entirely.
