About Me

I’m a mom, wife, and doctor.
A sister, friend, and colleague.
A past medical staff president, current department chair, and co-medical director.

I’ve spent years in leadership, caring for patients, and supporting my team.  But the most powerful thing I’ve learned isn’t about medicine—it’s about mindset.

I’ve learned how to stop trying to control everything around me, and instead, take ownership of how I experience my life.  There’s a big difference. And it changes everything.  For so long, I was driven by the next achievement, the next title, the next to-do list.  Now, I’ve found a different way.

I appreciate the life I have, enjoy the present moment, and still look ahead with purpose.
I know how to find joy in my days—and make room for the hard ones, too.

It might sound like a cliché to say your life is what you make it.
But if that’s not true… then what is?

A few years ago, I joined a “burnout reduction program” as a pilot at my institution. It included one-on-one executive coaching. The idea was promising—but the coaches weren’t physicians. They didn’t speak our language. They knew the research, but not the reality. Many of my colleagues left the program feeling disconnected and unchanged.

That experience, combined with my own personal development, led me to seek out coach certification. I wanted something more grounded. More personal. More real.  What I saw around me were smart, dedicated physicians and healthcare workers who had slowly given their power away—to patients, to administrators, to policy makers, to a broken system.  We were tired. Discouraged. Waiting for someone else to fix it.

I found a new perspective—and with it, renewed purpose and joy in my work. I want to help others do the same.

I’m still working as a hospitalist in internal medicine. And I’m also coaching healthcare professionals who are ready for something more.  If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, burned out—or simply know there’s more out there for you—coaching can help.

You don’t have to keep going like this.

Let’s talk about what’s possible.
