About Me

Before I was a coach, I was the woman in the middle of all of it. After 20 years in product and corporate leadership, I've navigated promotions, layoffs, burnout, career pivots, and the relentless pull of mom guilt. I know what it feels like to be capable, accomplished — and still completely stuck. That's why I became a coach. My role isn't to give you advice or hand you a roadmap. It's to create a space where you can think clearly, trust yourself, and take intentional steps toward the career and life you actually want. Today I'm a career coach, and I work primarily with women navigating career transitions, growth, and work-life balance. My belief is that information alone doesn't change behavior — mindset and action do. So that's where we focus. Not on your to-do list, but on what's really going on.

How Coaching Works

Transform your professional potential into tangible results with personalized coaching that balances deep insight with actionable, real-world strategies.

A real conversation, not a consultation

This isn't advice-giving or mentoring. It's a safe, confidential space where you do the thinking and I do the listening. You come to each session prepared with a topic — that's where we start. Through deep listening and powerful questions, we get clear on where you are, what's holding you back, and what you actually want.

Shift your mindset, not just your to-do list

Information alone doesn't change behavior — mindset and action do. Together we uncover patterns, challenge assumptions, and create the aha moments that move you forward. You already have the answers. My role is to help you find them, trust them, and own them.

Simple goals, real momentum

We set short-term, achievable goals that feel meaningful — not overwhelming. You remain fully responsible for your decisions, actions, and results. My role is to guide, challenge, and support your thinking. Progress isn't about perfection. It's about building confidence through consistent, intentional steps forward.
