My Journey

​

I discovered my passion for creating safe environments to motivate and inspire growth throughout my career in product development as an Agile Coach and Scrum Master for award-winning technology companies. Across the product teams that I led, there were common denominators in problem-solving: advocating for the team, making sure people were heard and having tough conversations with empathy and compassion. That’s why I excelled: I made sure everyone on the team had a voice.

 

I loved being a voice for the voiceless in the corporate world. The reason I loved helping people was because there was a time in my life when I wished I had more guidance. My childhood was shattered when my parents divorced and my teens and 20’s were clouded with anxiety, depression, and self-doubt. I used to be defensive and critical of myself and others. I viewed feedback as criticism, and I would cripple if anyone had anything less than ideal to say to me. On top of that, I struggled with people-pleasing. Once I put in “the work” and owned my story, I realized that self-awareness, feedback and accountability were stepping stones to growth. I challenged my internal dialogue and I began to walk the path of coaching in my own life, and coaching changed me.

 

I see you because I am you. I know it is not easy to make a change. I learned the science of coaching and I built my coaching business in the evenings while teaching yoga in the morning and working a full-time job to support myself. I then became a mom, which forced me to once again find myself in a new way. Who am I now? I love this tiny human from the depths of my soul but what else is important to me?

 

So, whether you’re sitting at a desk unhappy, in a relationship that’s not serving you, living in a body you don’t feel like is your own, have a goal that seems unattainable, or feel so disconnected from who you are, I am here for you. Creating a life with more meaning and fulfillment takes work, and it takes support (from me) to get you to where you want to be!

The next step on your journey...​

 

Having a coach take the time to truly listen and hold space for you is a profound experience. That’s because coaching is a gift. It is its own discipline. While therapy delves into the past, coaching touches on the past without staying there. Coaching helps you determine where you are now, where you want to be, and then how we get you there. The past made you who you are today. Now it is up to you to consciously choose who you want to be in the future.
