As a Transformational Life & Leadership Coach, I facilitate self-discovery and meaningful breakthroughs in my clients, who then experience greater confidence, clarity, direction and purpose in work and life. Sometimes this occurs through therapeutic approaches like “parts work” or somatic resilience. Other times it’s simply a result of deep trust, safety, and compassionate listening.
Coaching is a brilliant pathway to both individual and systemic transformation, even healing. Watching my clients transform into more empowered, authentic versions of themselves – who then transform systems and people around them – is my jam! It’s humbling and rewarding to use my four superpowers of empathy, insight, humor and problem solving to create a world that works better for more of us.
If you’re a unicorn, oddball or “only”, I get it! If you’re craving more confidence and clarity, struggling with a tough decision or anxious about an important conversation, you’re in the right place. If you lack direction or meaning, are experiencing transition in work or life, or stuck personally or professionally, I can help. And if you’re a member of a marginalized group (female, BIPOC, LGBTQI*, Gen Y or Gen Z, neurodivergent, or immigrant) struggling with barriers or internal thoughts other don’t…look no further!
My ideal coaching clients want to…
- Discover new direction, clarity and movement forward
- Increase confidence, and shift out of fear, doubt, confusion and overwhelm
- Experience greater purpose, meaning and success
- Prepare to make an important decision or have a difficult conversation
- Be more their authentic, best selves
