Leadership Coach

Everything looks good from the outside.
Inside, something is still unsettled.
That gap is where we begin.
Maybe you're facing a transition, taking on new responsibility, or wrestling with old patterns or a definition of success that no longer fits.
Together we do the kind of thinking that's hard to do alone.
We start by uncovering your values. But knowing them isn't the same as living them, and most of us drift. The work is making your choices come from there, so they get easier to make and easier to stand by.
My approach draws on the Co-Active model and 15 years in leadership, operations, and people development. We work with the whole person, not just the problem you came in with.
You might be here because
-
You're making bigger decisions, with fewer people to think them through with
-
You've reached the goals you set for yourself, and the next ones aren't obvious
-
You know what you want, and keep finding reasons to wait
-
You keep having the same hard conversation, or keep avoiding it
-
You want someone who will be honest with you, not just tell you what you want to hear
If any of this sounds familiar, let's talk.
I worked with Sonya through a major life transition that took time to fully implement. She was consistently patient, supportive, and deeply present. One pivotal conversation gave me the perspective I needed to act and it was a turning point that changed my life in a positive and lasting way. Sonya’s exceptional combination of intelligence and empathy allows her to communicate truths that aren’t easy to hear in a way that is constructive, respectful, and ultimately empowering.

Sonya listens intently, trusts her intuition, and is completely comfortable sitting in silence, letting you find your own way to what's true. Working with her unlocked thoughts I didn't know I was carrying. In six months, I saw how far my profession had drifted from my own values, and I found the bravery to pivot completely, intentionally, and thoughtfully. Most of all, I learned how to really trust myself.
