MEET PATTY

I help people, mostly women, who’ve already tried all the right things finally build the life they actually want.

I’m an executive coach with deep roots in social justice. I spent most of my career in immigration, civil rights, and advocacy. I understand the particular kind of exhaustion that comes from advocating so hard for everyone, except for yourself. I’ve lived through severe anxiety and total burnout. It’s why I became a coach. I found a better way to live, and I want to help you do the same.

My Credentials

In addition to my training and professional development, I bring something the certifications didn’t and can’t teach: lived experience. Even still, I take the credentials I’ve achieved seriously:

  • ACC Credentialed, International Coaching Federation (ICF), the gold standard in professional coaching

  • Certified Applied Positive Psychology Coach, The Flourishing Center

  • Certified ADHD and Neurodiversity Coach, the JST Coaching Program

  • Certified Martha Beck Wayfinder Life Coach

  • Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher, Tara Brach & Jack Kornfield’s Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program

The clients I work with deserve to know whether or not they are working with someone who has been rigorously trained and assessed, and actually knows what they’re doing.

My Clients

I especially love working with...

  • Gen X and older millennial women who are in the middle of a life or career transition

  • Managers and executives in nonprofits, foundations, and progressive organizations who understand their mission but might have lost their footing

  • Leaders who are ADHDers or have other neurodiversities who are brilliant at their work and exhausted

  • Anyone who feels like they’ve already tried everything, but something still feels stuck

I’m not the right coach for everyone. I’m not a resume writer. I’m not a LinkedIn strategist. If you want tactical job search help, I’m happy to point you toward someone who does that well.

What I do is different: I help you understand why you’re stuck, who you want to be, and how to start making the kind of changes that actually last.
