A LITTLE ABOUT ME

​

I have been in your shoes...

​

As a former civil rights lawyer, I spent a decade counseling clients and coaching them through some of the most challenging points in their lives, but I hit a wall in my legal career. I chose my legal career path in my early twenties, but as my career progressed, my life changed shape as well. In my mid-thirties I found myself stressed out and overwhelmed, trying to live fully in my personal life while deeply immersed in a career that did not feel right for me and I had no clue what to do next. I felt completely lost.

​

Then I found a coach...

 

Through working with my career coach, I found my way here. It did not happen overnight. It also did not happen in a way I expected. My coach did not help me discover the unicorn job that I never knew existed. She didn't help me uncover the buried skillset that I had been hoping to find. BUT she did help me completely shift my perspective on what a job should look and feel like. She helped me use my values and career goals as a lens to see a new career path that could be rewarding, fulfilling, and energizing. Ultimately, I realized I wanted to be a coach because it aligned with both the skillset that I loved utilizing and my life. Coaching was the career I had been searching for, but it had never occurred to me until I worked with a coach myself.

 

And now...

I am very excited to work with you and help you achieve your own version of the career satisfaction, balance, and fulfillment I have found. 

​

And if you are part of an organization or business looking for some coaching support...

My fifteen years of experience of work in non-profit organizations and government has given me a deep understanding of the systems, structures, and supports necessary to create healthy work environments. I have coached business owners, nonprofit executives, startup founders, school leadership teams, and community leaders. My coaching is geared towards ensuring that your team, from the top down, has the insight and vision to create the ideal culture and work-space.
