An executive and life coach since 1995, Debbie brings 20 years of professional experience to her coaching practice of working with women leaders and women in life transitions.
Her expertise is the ability to see and nurture the gifts and talents in her clients and to craft strategies that help them to excel and achieve their goals and dreams.
During her career, Debbie was a newspaper reporter for the Columbus (OH) Citizen-Journal; the press secretary to Ohio Governor Richard F. Celeste; and president of U.S. Health Productions Company, which featured the nationally and internationally syndicated television health show “Life Choices.”
She has a bachelor’s degree in journalism from The Ohio State University and a master’s degree in public administration from The Kennedy School of Government at Harvard.
She considers, however, her greatest education to be the pain, joy and growth from the ups and downs of life, love and loss.
Debbie’s work includes one-on-one coaching; Vision Day™ , an all-day, individual coaching retreat; and the workshops “Living The Life You Want" and “GriefRelief: Finding Comfort In Your Losses, Big and Small.”
She also has been the coach for the Business of People seminars in New York City with the renowned Gestalt psychotherapist Dr. Norman Shub.
A native of Ohio, Debbie lived in Boston for several years before settling in her dream-come-true location of Martha’s Vineyard, MA.
