Every great journey needs a plan: let’s map yours together to navigate the personal, social, and day-to-day changes of leaving work, making life after your career a purposeful, rewarding adventure.
With 16 years as a Certified Retirement Coach and 30+ as a psychotherapist, I help you build a successful retirement plan focused on you—not just your portfolio. Together, we navigate the non-financial side: reclaiming your identity, finding purpose, and structuring fulfilling days.
Using a reflective, conversational style, I work with high achieving individuals and couples to turn retirement goals into concrete action. Plus, I partner with businesses to deliver interactive workshops for employees and clients preparing for their next chapter.
My priority is empowering you with the right information. You can explore my free guides, retirement assessments, and planning tools—or check out my co-authored book, The Retirement Challenge: A Non-Financial Guide from Top Retirement Experts.
I have over 30 years of experience helping clients break through the barriers that keep them from achieving their life goals. I bring my wide range of experience in counseling, business and education to my coaching practice.
Trained as a licensed clinical social worker, I have been in private practice as a psychotherapist for 30 years, specializing in work with individuals and couples on relationships and family issues. My particular interest has been to help clients handle major life transitions.
Retirement coaching can help make the transition from work life to home life more intentional. Sessions are customized to the individual, couple or group and may include reflection, assignments, practical action steps and progress toward personal goals.
One-on-one support for specific concerns or broader goals such as building a social network, finding meaning, overcoming obstacles and creating a satisfying next chapter.
Support for discussing expectations, retirement timing, changing roles, shared and individual goals, and strategies for staying connected as life patterns change.
Non-financial retirement planning for corporations, organizations and associations, with an interactive format that allows participants to learn from one another.
The Retirement Challenge: A Non-Financial Guide From Top Retirement Experts brings together retirement professionals to address the often-overlooked personal side of retirement.
The book explores purpose, transition, thoughts and feelings about retirement, and why planning beyond dollars and cents matters. I contributed a chapter about facing forced retirement and finding your footing when plans change unexpectedly.
Education has always been a core part of my approach to retirement planning. I help people think beyond finances and consider the personal areas that shape a satisfying transition into retirement.
