I’m here to help you thrive.

Hello Friends!

Yay! I’m happy you’re here.

I really, truly believe Life Rewards Action. Not just the doing kind of action, but all the ways we engage with life: saying no, learning something new, taking a pause, noticing resistance, asking for help, resting, daring to want more… Every one of those actions can be a doorway into growth and deeper aliveness.

My work is about helping you step through those doors with courage, clarity, and compassion. Whether you’re an individual, part of a couple or family, or leading a team, I support you in turning your emotions into guides rather than obstacles.

A Note About AI

AI is in our consciousness right now in a really big way, so I want to mention it up front… Many of my clients are experimenting with AI as a reflection or coaching tool. I use it myself (I call her Chatty LuLu). So I know it can be really helpful for generating ideas and exploring options… but it can’t offer presence, nuance, or partnership like a real, live human. If you’ve been using AI and want to go deeper, bring your transcripts or notes into our sessions. We can work together to translate those sparks into embodied clarity and real-world change.

And if AI isn’t your thing? Cool! No problem. Human-to-human coaching is where the realest magic happens. (Well, that’s my opinion… but I admit I’m biased!)

Hope doesn’t come from words.

Hope only comes from actions.

  • “After seeing Gretchen monthly for about 6 months, I felt like a change was made from the deepest part of my psyche. I don’t have to talk or reason myself out of feeling small and insignificant, the change comes from the inside, out.”

    —Lena, Maryland

  • “Gretchen walks alongside you with insight, clarity and humor, committed to you and your process. She will stay with you in those dark and difficult places, walk with you to clarity and celebrate the milestones along the way. Her presence is palpable, her energy inspiring, her joy infectious.”

    —Paige, Maryland

  • “Transformational experience! There was something keeping me from moving forward. Every time I would take action in the direction of my goals, there was that block and I was stopped cold. In the Shadow Work, Gretchen's compassion and non-judgment created the safest space for me to identify that block at its root and also my narratives around it. Then "Aha!" I was empowered to handle it. Now, I've moved forward and achieved a few milestones with my business goals, and I'm showing up more confidently for myself and others. Gretchen's skills, combined with her wisdom and wit, will help you get what you want.”

    —Pamela, Idaho

  • “Gretchen is amazing to work with and I would recommend her to anyone interested in Shadow Work. Her knowledge and passion for the Shadow Work method combined with a wide range of skills and tools make her sessions so valuable.”

    —Rachel, California

  • “Gretchen is a kind and compassionate Shadow Work facilitator. Her patience and lightheartedness make every session comfortable and easy.”

    —Kristy, Florida
