My Journey

About Jane

I'm a leadership and executive coach who believes real transformation starts with self-awareness. I partner with clients to discover the clarity, courage, and creative vision already within them—and translate those discoveries into meaningful change in how they lead, work, and live.

I bring a rare combination to that work: the rigor and analytical discipline of a career as a litigator, paired with deep training in human development, psychology, organizational change, and the inner dimensions of leadership.

I began my career as a lawyer — first in a boutique litigation practice, later in commercial litigation at a large firm. I loved the people side of the work and gained a lasting respect for the law and the standards it demands. But I often felt like a round peg in a square hole, yearning for more integration of head and heart.

After having children and stepping back from law, I followed that pull toward human potential, psychology, and organizational systems, completing extensive training while deepening my own self-awareness. Coaching became my second career — a chance to build relationships that are mutually empowering, and to witness the transformation that happens when people commit to their own growth.

That exploration has never been purely professional. My own journey of growth—and, more recently, rebuilding my life after the Palisades fire—continues to deepen my understanding of what it means to meet change with courage, self-awareness, and an openness to what comes next.

One of the most profound things I've learned is that our capacity for wisdom, growth, and creative vision is far greater than we imagine.

I'm an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and a member of the Coaching & Consulting faculty at UC Davis. Based on the West Coast, I work with executives, leaders, lawyers, founders, and teams who are ready to deepen their self-awareness and create meaningful change in how they lead and live.
