My approach
My degree and practice in Clinical Psychology and my Executive Coaching Certificate has provided an exposure to a wide range of adaptive paths. I have guided leaders, change makers and entrepreneurs who have faced life changing challenges, restarts and difficult values-based decisions.
As a Behavioral Science faculty in family medicine at U.C. Davis and San Francisco General Hospital I gained insight about how family systems affect health, performance and wellbeing.
With over 20 years in professional leadership development, I have a deep tool kit of models, assessments and resources for navigating management/leadership challenges. I have a bias for strengths-based approaches, a practical neurological reset to recover resilience and performance.
I will listen to your unique situation, appreciate what you already know and gently provoke and co-imagine new ways to approach your growth and change.
Coaching from Experience
As an experienced thought partner I will help you explore your assumptions, clarify new goals, and develop the mindset and capacity to stand in your own truth of purpose, action and impact.
I work with you to distill your values and turns them into core components of resilience. I use regenerative living systems principles to create roadmaps that honor your legacy and bring coherence and restoration to your life.
I offer a private 1:1 confidential environment for just-in-time support or ongoing development to navigate complex life challenges.
Core Services and Focus:

Client Experiences of Executive Coaching
“It was challenging to think of leaving my practice, I had developed a deep sense of satisfaction and was wondering what I would do with my new life. Cynthia’s warm and personal coaching made it so much easier to think about what could be next. She has a vast range of experience with making personal change and a skillful way of helping me stop and see what is going on under the surface. Her sense of adventure helped me discover paths I would not have known about. A great guide and ally.”

“Cynthia’s coaching helped me see strengths I had no idea I had. The 360 feedback was tough, showing me where I was not using my potential and woke up my curiosity and commitment to change. She provided resources and specific ideas for making real-time changes in how I interacted with my peers.
These sessions were valuable for being able to take up a new role during a cultural transformation of our business. She listened and supported my transition into a new role, very different from my past work. I always feel great after a session with her.”
— Global Executive
“Cynthia helped me connect my early experiences to a stressful pattern in my work choices. She helped me Identify a long standing pattern of making choices based on external factors instead of my authentic passions. She helped me hold a dream for my future when I could not. I’m now using my former career experience as a foundation for transitioning into work more aligned with my values.”

Align your next step with your values
If you’re not being guided by your own highest values, whose are you following?
Living in alignment with our values is the key to increased productivity, satisfaction, purpose and meaning in life. Values clarity improves decision making (especially saying no!), leadership ability, time management, energy levels, and more. It gives you an “unfair advantage” over all the people who cannot clearly articulate what their highest values are.
