I love helping women discover their unique gifts and talents even if they have no idea what they are. Included in my coaching package is the Myers Briggs Personality assessment which brings awareness to your innate strengths, ideal career paths and areas for growth. Hey, no one is perfect!
If you're feeling stuck, want more joy, love, energy and/or some direction in your life, I offer complimentary discovery sessions to see if we're a good match. Email me directly at [email protected]

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My clients get the best results when they purchase an 8 week package. We work together on the phone which allows me to work with anyone anywhere. Even if you're local, who likes to waste time in traffic! I have you fill out some pre-work so I get to know you and what you want to achieve before our first session. We stay very laser focused on achieving your goals even if that means getting unstuck. I like to work with my clients weekly or every other week. Consistency is key to acheiving good results.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
B.A. in Psychology
Master level Certified Coach (via Martha Beck Training)
The Life Coach School Trained Coach

How did you get started in this business?
I initially wanted to be a therapist but after being in therapy myself decades ago, I never felt that going back into my past helped me move forward. I prefer to help people achieve what they want most in life right now rather than processing the past - a successful career, a romantic partner, the confidence to say what's on their mind, new friends, a promotion,etc,. Although the past may come up in the context of moving forward, our focus is on what my client's are currently experiencing and giving them the tools to move through their obstacles. Specifically, the mind poop that gets in the way.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with women and men, in all different age ranges but my sweet spot is women between the ages of 35-65 who are at various pivot points in their life - beginning a new relationship (or craving one), leaving or thinking of leaving a job/starting a new one, empty nesters who don't know what to do next or those who are tired of hiding and playing small.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently helped a young women who just got engaged let go of the idea that she should have a particular type of wedding - the one she thought she "should" have based on her experience and what others expected of her. At the top of the hour, she felt burdened, heavy and blah about planning her wedding. After our time was up, she left feeling motivated and eager to start planning the wedding she dreamed up, not the wedding she thought she was "supposed" to have.
That's what I do best - I help women unburden themselves from the expectations of others and connect to their genuine desires. I show them that they are stronger and more resilient then they think they are. I help foster confidence so they go after what they want and stop sitting on the sidelines.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Talk to 2-3 coaches. Most will give you a complimentary "get to know" you session. Trust your intution - pick someone you feel comfortable and safe with - someone you feel a connection to.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
Tell me about an experience with a client you had (without divulving any peronal details of course) who achieved their goals as a result of working with you.
Describe your ideal client.
