Coaching With Me
As a coach, my goal is to empower you to figure out what is most meaningful and true for you (as your own unique and autonomous individual!) and to navigate life and career choices based on this information. This often requires shedding some engrained social/familial/cultural expectations and viewing them from other lenses, centered around self-trust. I believe that finding and following what is true for ourselves as individuals is what creates fulfillment and meaning in our lives AND our greatest impact in the world.
​
In our sessions, I help you uncover: 1) what you want; 2) what’s getting in the way (which may or may not be what you initially think is getting in the way); and 3) develop a plan to move forward towards your goals.
​
Through this process, we work to strengthen self-trust and empower you to make ongoing choices aligned with your own values. While clients often come with specific current issues to address, our work together can lead to bigger shifts in strengthening who you are and how you operate in the world.

Who I Work With
​
I love working with clients who are ready to investigate how they want to show up in the world and how to become even more of themselves. Who know that they are meant to do more with their lives, but keep getting stuck for various reasons. Who know that they have the skills, talent, drive to do the hard things, but can't seem to either figure out what they truly want or can't find the momentum to get past the obstacles getting in their way.
A few examples of what this can look like:
-
Figuring out what to do next in your career
-
Examining how expectations from peers, mentors, family, friends, or society in general might be keeping you stuck (and what to do about it)
-
Prioritizing the work or activities that are truly aligned with your values
-
Starting a new project that you've been resisting/afraid/hesitating to put out into the world
-
Defining what's most important to you for the stage of life you're in now, even if it diverges from the path you originally set out on
-
Finding resolution or self-guidance around what to do in challenging circumstances
​
My coaching approach is firmly based on the belief that you have the answers you are looking for within yourself. As a coach, I do not provide answers, but instead use powerful questions and a variety of coaching tools to enable you to uncover what's true for you and shift your lens of thinking. We work together to define what you truly want and how to get unstuck and move forward towards living as your true, most alive self.
