Well-known Executive Coach, Career Counselor and Retained Recruiter in Healthcare for over 15 years.

My healthcare executive coaching experience covers every major element of the industry.. I am an expert on the healthcare world of work. I use my many successful years of employment in the HR/Employment/Recruitment/Retention portions of the industry. I have an MA in Career Development, an Organizational Psychology concentration in my upper division college work, and my APA certificate in Psychological Testing competence. But my clients and my network professionals continually praise me for my upbeat, positive, yet cognitive style of personal coaching. I very seldom see my private clients for than 5 sessions. Using the client's words to construct a new resume and coaching that person into a new job is a major professional thrill for me! I have counseled and placed Presidents/CEOs, CNOs, VPs, Directors and Middle Managers throughout California and in Oregon and Nevada. In my years of onsite recruiting as well as recruitment consulting, I have recruited nearly every healthcare classification.
