Meet Susan.

Life and work transitions, like a new role, a career change, a shift in leadership, or a new chapter at home, are some of the most important moments we face. They’re also when it’s easiest to lose sight of who we are and what matters most. When your choices are aligned with your values and strengths, change becomes less overwhelming and more of an opportunity. You make decisions with confidence and move forward with purpose instead of just reacting.That’s the work I do with Alignment Coaching & Consultation: helping you navigate transitions with clarity, so the path forward truly fits who you are.

What working with me is like

My clients describe our sessions as warm, compassionate, and focused. They appreciate the attention to their unique gifts and the creativity I bring to the work. I’ll listen closely, ask the questions you may not be asking yourself, and help you turn insight into action. You’ll leave each conversation clearer and with something concrete to do next.

What I bring

With more than 30 years of experience in leadership in congregations, nonprofits, higher education, and healthcare, I’ve worked with those who are just starting out and discerning their career path to those who have had fruitful careers and are discerning retirement. I’ve supported people through serious illness and major changes in their lives at home. I’m a certified educator with the Association for Clinical Pastoral Education and an ordained United Methodist pastor, and I bring that experience, along with genuine care, to every client relationship. I’m working on certification with the International Coaching Federation.

Let’s talk

If something in your work or life feels out of sync, I’d love to hear about it. A discovery call is a relaxed, no-pressure conversation to talk about where you are, where you want to be, and whether working together is the right fit.
