My journey to coaching began long before I recognized it—from guiding art students, to advising college students, to managing teams for a decade. I've navigated many transitions in my own life, including a period when my carefully constructed world collapsed—marriage, home, and career simultaneously. Through reconnecting with myself—learning to listen, be present, and practice self-compassion—I discovered that true strength comes from vulnerability and intimate self-knowledge. This personal transformation allowed me to move smoothly into the next chapter of my life. Today, I guide others through their own transitions, weaving together empathy, openness, and curiosity to help bridge the gap between 'doing' and 'being,' enabling clients to create authentic lives aligned with their true values rather than external expectations
