Career Spark Engine

I provide guides, templates, and examples so you can create the artifacts needed to achieve your goal. I will give you detailed feedback, and occasionally draft sections on your behalf, as needed.

Connecting my clients with my friends, family, and colleagues is one of the joys of this work.

I’m a people person who’s worked in tech, agency, nonprofit, business, and the arts, so the odds are high that I know someone who can help you.

I also cherish my network, so we work together to ensure our reach-outs are targeted, intentional, and mutually beneficial whenever possible.

I don’t specialize in industries. I specialize in people—specifically, passionate powerhouses. Folks who care deeply, work hard, get results, and are ready to be intentional about what comes next.

The framework I use focuses on how you think, decide, and take action (not the jargon of any one field). That’s why it works across industries. I’ve supported software engineers, architects, lawyers, artists, founders, healthcare professionals, educators, and more. I’ve yet to meet a passionate powerhouse in any role or industry who didn’t benefit from this process.

On rare occasions, I provide one-off, high-impact sessions when I’m confident we can achieve a clear, actionable outcome together (think interview prep or negotiation strategy).

That said: reconnecting to your spark, getting out of your own way, and making real-world moves toward a career you love takes time. We owe it to each other to commit to a process that actually gets results, and I’ve found that 3 months is the sweet spot.

We’re going do to our damn best!

Things like the job market and economy are not in our control. But so much is in our control. That’s where we focus.

I bring structure, strategy, and unwavering support to your progress and results. You take ownership of your actions, decisions, and follow-through. As with most things in life, the more you put in, the more you get out.

We celebrate! Often, clients use the remaining sessions to lock in their progress and set themselves up for sustainable success in the next chapter.

I joke with clients that I don’t vanish into a cloud of smoke when our work wraps. Truly, I’m part of your network long after the program ends.

I also created the Sustainable Success program to help you to stay intentional, motivated, and not slip back into old patterns in your next chapter. Learn more at the “Work With Me” tab at the top of the website.

Two weeks before we finish, we reflect, celebrate, and set you up for continued momentum—whether that includes more coaching or moving forward on your own.

People often call our work “job therapy,” and I accept this. We look at your feelings (yes, it’s okay to cry in session), thoughts (no, you’re not crazy), and behaviors (yep, we’re all weirdos in our own way) and figure out how to make them work for you. That’s psychology.

Therapy, however, is a different modality. It helps you get to the root of these things, often revisiting childhood or processing trauma, and can include diagnosing and treating mental health challenges. I am not authorized to do that.

Many of my clients are in therapy alongside coaching.

No—but we do talk about money.

We’ll get clear on your salary floor, target range, and safety net, because your financial reality directly shapes the career decisions available to you. I provide tools and guides to help you define these numbers, and I coach you through key money moments like salary negotiations and pricing your work.

I don’t provide financial advice on investments, taxes, or retirement strategy. Many clients choose to partner with a financial advisor alongside our work.

After you take the first step (click the link at the top of the website), I’ll provide a link to schedule an Exploration Chat if I think we may be a good fit. During this chat, we’ll dig deeper into what you want, what’s getting in the way, and what will actually help you move forward.

By the end, I’ll have what I need to recommend the program or resource that fits you best, including pricing. This work genuinely changes lives and the investment reflects that.
