I was born and raised in Philadelphia, and the city and its people are still a big part of who I am. I now live in Ecuador and coach clients entirely online. That setup gives me the flexibility to keep one-on-one coaching affordable, without the overhead of a traditional office, while helping people in Philadelphia and beyond make meaningful changes in their lives.
I take a practical, collaborative approach, and you work directly with me through the entire process. I coach adults who are navigating overthinking and self-doubt, career uncertainty and life transitions, disorganization and follow-through, self-sabotage and habit change, and relationship and communication patterns. The goal is to develop clarity, structure, and habits you can continue using on your own long after our work together ends. Learn more about all of my services.
The name Swampoodle is generally thought to come from the low-lying, marshy ground where several railroad lines once converged in this part of North Philadelphia.
I work with clients across Swampoodle as well as nearby North Philadelphia neighborhoods, including Allegheny West, Stanton, and Tioga. Since coaching is entirely online, clients can fit sessions around their schedules without a trip across the city – whether that means meeting between shifts or on a quiet weekend morning.
I also coach clients in Strawberry Mansion, Fairhill, and North Central, as well as in nearby suburbs including Bala Cynwyd, Cheltenham, and Narberth. For a fuller picture, the Philadelphia hub page covers the practice as a whole, the FAQ answers some of the most common questions about coaching, and you can book a free consultation whenever you are ready.
Everything starts with a free consultation. It is a short call, there is nothing to pay and nothing to commit to, and its only job is to work out whether coaching is the right fit for what you are dealing with.
Sessions run about an hour and are scheduled around your working week. Book a single session for one specific decision, or move into ongoing coaching with accountability between calls.
You leave each session with something specific to apply, and we open the next one with what happened when you tried it. Browse the 5 Elements framework and the free resources, or book a free consultation when you are ready.
