Design What's Next

Life & Career Coaching for Clarity, Momentum & Direction

What Could Be Next for You?

Sometimes you know exactly what you want. Other times, you simply know that something needs to change.


Coaching gives you the space to step back, get clear about what matters, explore possibilities, and turn ideas into meaningful action.


You might be navigating a career decision, considering a change, starting something new, moving through a life transition—or simply feeling stuck and wondering what's next.


You don't need to have the answer before you begin. That's what coaching can help you discover.

“Mary helped me get clear on what truly lights me up.”

Fast forward a year later, and I’ve built an entire business around a passion I hadn’t fully recognized before. What started as a feeling of restlessness has turned into a life that feels energized, purposeful, and deeply fulfilling.


— Jodie M.,  Founder, MahjongOC


Career Clarity & Coaching

TAKE THE DRIVER'S SEAT IN YOUR CAREER

You’re a new grad, making a big career change, or maybe starting over.  You want this next stage of your work life to be challenging, fulfilling, fun!

 And yet…  

Are you feeling...

  • Unsure about your direction 
  • Stuck or unfulfilled in your current role 
  • Full of ideas, but unsure which direction to pursue 
  • Ready for change, but having trouble gaining traction 
  • Like you should be able to “figure this out” on your own

Wouldn't you rather be...

  • Clear about what you want next 
  • Confident about your direction 
  • Energized by the possibilities 
  • Taking meaningful steps forward

How I Can Help...

Career coaching gives you the space to step back, explore what's possible, and get clear about what you really want.

I'll be your coach and strategic thought partner.  I'll ask the questions that help you uncover your own answers while offering practical career perspective and strategies when they're useful.

Together, we'll turn uncertainty into clarity and clarity into action.

Midlife Mindset Coaching

Midlife can take you by surprise! (not in a good way...)

Midlife and the "empty nest" phase of life can be an unsettling time for women. A life coach can help.

Are you feeling...

  • Off-balance, out-of-sorts, not yourself
  • Stuck
  • "Busy," but going through the motions, unsatisfied
  •  Difficult relationships with aging parents and/or young adult kids
  • Uninspired, tired
  • You know there is something more for you

Wouldn't you rather go through your day...

  • Excited about your life!
  • Confident
  • Energized
  • Directed
  • Engaged

I can help by...

Being your coach!  Being a co-creative thought partner.  Being your cheerleader.  I am someone who gets where you’re coming from, sees the bigger picture, and can give you the tools and strategies you need to create a life you love. 

Getting Started

Curious About Coaching?

Not sure if coaching is right for you? Let's talk.

I offer a complimentary 20-minute introductory conversation where we can talk about what's on your mind, what you'd like to change or explore, and how coaching might help.

Whether you're navigating a career decision, considering a change, or simply wondering what's next, there's no need to have it all figured out before we talk.

Schedule a complimentary 20-minute conversation.

About Me

A Little Background...

Today, I work with clients through my private coaching practice and Strawberry.me, helping people navigate career decisions, life transitions, new possibilities, and the sometimes messy question of “What do I really want next?”


My professional journey began as a licensed landscape architect, where I learned to approach complex problems with both creativity and structure—to explore possibilities, see patterns, and turn ideas into thoughtful plans.

Later, five years volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for young people in foster care showed me how much I value helping people recognize their strengths, navigate uncertainty, and move forward.

Those experiences ultimately led me to coaching. 

My approach combines curiosity, strategic thinking, practical action, and a genuine belief that you don't need to have everything figured out before you begin.

Why I Coach

I've always been curious about two questions: “What's next?” and “What if?”

I love helping people step away from the noise long enough to hear their own answers. Sometimes that means navigating a career decision. Sometimes it's exploring a new direction, starting something, or figuring out why life looks perfectly fine on paper but doesn't quite feel right anymore.

My role isn't to tell you what your life or career should look like. It's to help you see possibilities, get clear about what matters to you, and turn that clarity into meaningful action.

Let's design what's next together.
