15+ years supporting executives, leaders, founders, and individuals navigating life and career transitions through the moments that matter: difficult conversations, burnout, major life changes, and the deeper work of becoming who they're here to be.
"Her work is transformative. She helps uproot the causes of stuckness, confusion, and apathy with skill and decisiveness."
Camilia Thompson, Mental Health Counselor, Portland OR
About Abri
For years, I had everything I thought I was supposed to want. The title, the trajectory, the recognition. I was working 70-hour weeks, checking every external box, and completely running on empty.
When I burned out, I knew another promotion or more external accolades weren't going to fix it. So I stopped looking out there and started looking within. Through mindfulness and a serious commitment to inner work, I discovered that how I was showing up needed to change, not just what I was doing, but how I was doing it.
That period of introspection is also what led me to get certified as a coach. It was the work I loved most and one of the truest expressions of my purpose.
Now I help others find that same clarity, coaching executives, leaders, founders, and individuals across Fortune 500s, mission-driven nonprofits, and everywhere in between.
In coaching, I strive to hold depth and lightness in the same breath, creating space where the work can be both transformative and fun. I know this territory because I've lived it.

Who I Work With
Every lasting outer change begins with an inner shift.
01
CEOs and senior leaders navigating visibility, board dynamics, and the pressure and loneliness of leading from the top.
02
Mid-to-senior leaders growing into broader influence, managing up and across, and building high-performing teams and cultures.
03
First-time and experienced managers developing their leadership voice and learning to have hard conversations well.
04
For the builders and visionaries: launching companies, getting their work across the finish line, leading under pressure, managing co-founder dynamics, scaling culture, and sustaining themselves in uncertainty.
05
For those experiencing a role change, a career pivot, divorce, loss, birth, or any major life shift that asks you to let go of who you were and step into who you're becoming.
What We Work On
Every engagement is tailored. These are the areas where the most meaningful shifts tend to happen.
Building self-awareness and the capacity to respond thoughtfully under pressure, so you lead from your best self, not your reactive self.
Recognizing the signs, understanding the roots, and rebuilding sustainable energy without sacrificing ambition.
Saying the hard thing with clarity and care. Navigating conflict, delivering feedback, and turning hard conversations into moments of deeper connection and trust.
Cultivating the presence that earns trust, the clarity of purpose that guides decisions, and the legacy that outlasts any title.
Navigating the in-between: For those experiencing a role change, a career pivot, divorce, loss, birth, or any major life shift that asks you to let go of who you were and step into who you're becoming.
Working with the patterns that keep you reactive and scattered, so you can lead with more focus and intentionality.
In the Field

Portland, OR
"It's clear that Abri is doing her life's work, her mission so to speak. I trusted her in an immediate way that is rare for me, and in doing so was able to get to the 'work' and feel non-judged. What I found was a better internal understanding and appreciation for how I connect to other human beings."
Boston, MA
"Working with Abri helped me confirm that fear of change wasn't enough to keep me in my current position, and helped me see the possibilities for a different future. She approached our work with kindness, gentleness, and a sense of play. Now, I'm about to start my new dream job."
Portland, OR
"Abri's energy is bright and playful but incredibly strong at the same time. Her sensitivity and empathy gave me a sense of safety that enabled me to reach beyond my default self-reliance and ask for support, and to ground through uncertainty."
San Francisco, CA
"Abri is a wonderful coach, compassionate, intuitive, and an excellent listener. She helped me better visualize my issues and clear what was no longer useful. I felt both supported and challenged. I recommend her to anyone seeking more clarity in their life."

How It Works
My approach is simple: hold space for you to access the wisdom already within. From that place, clarity tends to follow.
Coaching sessions are done virtually. Lasting change takes time, which is why a minimum commitment of six monthly sessions is suggested.
Investment varies based on engagement length and scope. We'll discuss what's right for you on our discovery call.
01
A 30-minute discovery session to explore who you are and what you're navigating. We'll see if we're a good fit, no pressure either way.
02
If we decide to move forward, we'll agree on cadence, length, and logistics, and set up a shared foundation for the work.
03
Our first official session is about us. We'll get clear on what you need, how you want to work, and what meaningful outcomes look like for you.
04
Coaching sessions focused entirely on what's present for you. You bring the topic; we explore together.
05
At the close of our work, we'll reflect on what shifted, what you're taking with you, and what comes next.
Is Coaching Right for You?
Coaching works best when you're ready to look inward, not just solve outward problems. It's a space to think more clearly, reconnect with what matters, and lead with more intention and impact.
