Helping you find your voice. For more than forty years, my voice has been my profession. Today I use that same voice to help others discover theirs.

One thread
I have spent a career using my voice to communicate, connect, inspire, and give words meaning. That work stands on its own. So does the coaching. What joins them is simple: communication, connection, and the power of finding your voice.
I am not leaving the studio behind. I am expanding what a voice can do. On the microphone, I give a brand a human sound. In coaching, I help a person hear their own.
The profession
Commercials, narration, transit, and the messages people hear when they need something done. Warm, clear, and already familiar.
The practice
A personal, spiritually grounded practice for people ready to live more fully and authentically. Not a side service. The same voice, used another way.
Voiceover
This career deserves to stand by itself. For more than forty years I have brought words to life for brands people live with every day: on the train, on hold, at the bank, and on the evening news.
Warm, clear, and sincere. The sound of a person, not a system. Commercials, narration, and the words a brand should trust.

Coaching
Over time, I discovered another way to use my voice: helping people find theirs.
Through my work as a recovery coach, I help people move beyond the beliefs, patterns, and behaviors that keep them from living fully and authentically. Whether it is learning to trust yourself again, establishing healthy boundaries, or finding your voice without losing connection with others, the journey begins with discovering who you are beneath the noise.
My coaching is deeply personal, spiritually grounded, and rooted in the principles of 12-Step Recovery and Nonviolent Communication (NVC), the Language of Compassion developed by Marshall Rosenberg.
I have walked this path myself for decades, and I bring that lived experience, along with years of coaching, to every relationship. Meaningful change begins with compassion, connection, and the courage to become more fully yourself.
You don’t have to do it alone. I would be honored to walk beside you.
About me
With more than 35 years of personal recovery experience, and professional coaching experience dating back to 2016, I help people create lives that reflect who they truly are and who they want to become.
Those are two different things, and both matter. The years I have lived this path give the coaching its depth. The practice, since 2016, is how I walk with you now. I would not trade one for the other.
I specialize in supporting people who are ready to move beyond limiting beliefs, unhealthy patterns, and behaviors that keep them from living fully, freely, and authentically.
My approach is interpersonal and spiritually grounded, rooted in 12-Step Recovery. I also use Nonviolent Communication (NVC), the Language of Compassion developed by Marshall Rosenberg: practical tools for authentic relationships, deeper intimacy, and navigating hard moments with understanding and empathy.
Every journey is unique. My role is not to tell you who to be. It is to help you reconnect with yourself, recognize your own strengths, and discover the freedom that comes from living authentically.
