I had the pleasure of working with Karen. during my transition from Sonoma to Los Angeles. Karen was crucial in helping me find my way. She coaches with a perfect balance of concrete, actionable planning, and empathetic career counseling. Together, we identified opportunities, helped build a plan for an independent business, and worked through the various doubts and issues I came up against. It is clear Karen sees each person she works with as a unique relationship and applies her experience in a tailored way that is right for the individual. I couldn't have asked for a better hand to help me through this moment than Karen.
