Hi, I'm Carissa

As the founder of Strategic Alignment Coaching, I believe a thriving, balanced life is one that is thoughtfully designed. I am a curious learner and relator, driven to see you flourish across every domain of your life.

THE STRATEGIC & HOLISTIC APPROACH

My coaching brings clarity to complex ideas, whether it’s a fragmented life plan or a challenging business model. For over ten years, I’ve fostered human transformation across higher-ed, EdTech, and startup leadership roles, ensuring our work is grounded in real-world efficacy. I ensure that your daily actions and long-term business goals are in deep alignment with your personal health and core values.

MY UNIQUE FOUNDATION

Systemic Clarity

I hold a PhD specializing in complex pattern analysis and am a Constellations Facilitator, allowing me to uncover the hidden dynamics that shape your life and organizational growth.

Actionable Design

With a Masters in Teaching and ICF-aligned training as a Leadership and Wellbeing Coach, I help you design a path forward that truly lasts.

MY LIFE IN ALIGNMENT

When I’m not coaching, I’m keeping my own life in harmony in the Pacific Northwest with my husband, daughter, twin boys, and our wonderfully derpy golden retriever.
