My Story

Over the years, I have pivoted, changed directions, and changed my life many times. I've moved from Evansville to Denver to Seattle before finally landing in Los Angeles, where I live with my neuro-spicy family and a menagerie of animals. I've climbed corporate ladders, volunteered & supported Step Up since 2007, and co-founded an entertainment marketing & PR business that is still thriving today. When the chaos of the pandemic upended our lives in 2020, I saw an opportunity to pivot towards the career of my heart: coaching. Within a few short years I became a fully educated, trained, and certified coach.

My Vibe

I take your goals and dreams very seriously and hold our time together as sacred. At the same time, I'm also a nerd who has a quote from Buffy the Vampire Slayer for almost any occasion. I might reach into my leadership training in one moment, then tap into my tabletop RPG game master skills the next. My coaching influences range from the philosophical writings of Dr. Cornel West to the inherent confidence and humor of Miss Piggy. Like you, I am a delightful mandala of skills, experiences, identities, influences, and song lyrics, and I use them all to help you connect the dots.

My Tools

As a Co-Active coach, I anchor our sessions in the advanced frameworks and tools from my extensive Coach and Leadership training. I can then pair that solid foundation with two powerful pathways of self-discovery: professional Enneagram profiling to raise deep awareness for individuals and teams, and intuitive tarot reading to shift perspectives and generate fresh personal insight.

Dinah truly lifted me up from the rubble. I had just landed one of the coolest jobs, but it was way harder than any I had worked previously. Dinah helped me not only realize a lot of my struggle was in my head but that I could turn perceived weaknesses into strengths.
