In the world of medicine, we spend our time negotiating so many facets of ourselves. Amidst the hustle and bustle, it is sometimes difficult to hear our own voice. Often, we have arrived here based on values we first developed long ago: service, compassion, care, and hope. It can be challenging to navigate personal values and ideals with professional goals while inundated with messages of what the “right” things to do are.

Negotiating what is the right career path for each of us and a complex system with multiple priorities, sometimes not in line with our own, can lead to overwhelm, self-doubt, burnout, and moral injury. How do we lead ourselves from a space of authenticity and integrity - from who we are - and have this self-knowing drive and orient all we do? How do we fine tune this practice to uncover the things we still don’t know about ourselves so that we may continue to grow throughout our lives and thrive? How might we navigate our experiences, including those that challenge us the most, from our own personal truth? Situations of moral failure, burnout, self-doubt, and overwhelm can come from a place where these answers and solutions are lacking, taken over instead by an external echo chamber we sometimes find ourselves in. Lack of joy, connection, aliveness, and growth are also found in these same gaps. Coaching provides the freedom and environment to find a different way. Here, a collaborative coaching partnership creates a safe space to allow you to find the answers, solutions, and next steps that best serve you, reflecting your strengths and values. Coaching provides a transformative toolkit that enables you to reclaim joy, purpose, meaning, and intention that can reverberate throughout your relationships and personal and professional lives. As a physician and certified coach, I believe the best roadmap is within you, and we thrive most when we create and discover our own gifts. It is my joy to help you uncover yours.

I believe coaching is one of the most important ways to create a better world for all, by elevating the gifts and truth of others. I look forward to co-creating this space with you. When not coaching, you can find me working as a pediatric and internal medicine hospitalist both at MGH for Children and MGH Hospital Medicine. I work with socially complex and vulnerable populations through the Albright Orange Service, and as one of the Medical Officers for the Department of Medicine. When not in the hospital, I work in global settings on emotional intelligence, humanities, human rights, and examining systems of power. I am an immigrant to the United States and woman of color, and find joy in deepening connection with others, aliveness in running marathons, dancing as if no one is watching, getting lost in a good book, and letting imagination and creativity soar though cooking and art projects.
