This is my story

We’re often taught that once you pick a career and get the right education, happiness will follow. But for many, it’s far more complicated than that—and I’ve lived through it. I started my career believing that to live my purpose, I needed to help others. This led me to mental health counseling, and while I earned degrees and took on challenging roles, I quickly found myself stuck. The work, while important, didn’t align with who I truly was, and I felt drained, lost, and questioning my future.

Moving from job to job, I realized it wasn’t just about doing meaningful work but finding work that fit my life. My role as a counselor and then an academic advisor helped me understand that even when a job checks all the boxes, it doesn’t mean it’s the right long-term path. I was helping others, but the pace and lack of balance left me feeling stuck yet again. This led me to rethink my career for the second time, this time more strategically.

When I finally transitioned into professional development and career coaching, I found my true calling. Helping others achieve their professional goals through coaching, teaching, and meaningful programming lit a fire in me. But through it all, I also learned that while loving your work is crucial, it has to fit into the life you want to live. My own journey taught me how to strike that balance, and it’s this perspective I bring to my clients.

I became a career coach because I’ve been exactly where you are—stuck, unsure of the next step, and longing for work that feels fulfilling and sustainable. I know firsthand how overwhelming it can be to make a change, especially when you’re drained by the day-to-day. But I also know the transformative power of finding the right path. With my experience, both personal and professional, I’m here to help you uncover a career that not only brings you success but also aligns with your deepest values and the life you want to live.

  • Are feeling “stuck” in their lives or careers and are looking to make a change
  • Want to explore how their life goals impact their career goals (and vice versa)

  • Want to build self-belief, feel confident in their abilities, and shake the imposter syndrome that’s holding them back!
Professionals who:
  • Are exploring new industries or transitioning to different roles and needing help identifying transferable skills and creating a clear plan for success.

My Coaching Approach

My coaching approach is rooted in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where you can explore your career journey with clarity and confidence. Drawing on my background in counseling, my primary goal is to connect, listen deeply, and ask thoughtful, insightful questions to help you reflect on your goals, identify patterns, and challenge limiting beliefs. I believe you are the expert of your own experience and that you can create the life you want! I’m here to guide you in uncovering the answers that already lie within.

In our sessions, I integrate practical tools, self-discovery frameworks, and evidence-based strategies, along with my expertise in resume writing, cover letter writing, interviewing, and networking skills. Whether you’re navigating a career change, seeking to align your work with your values, or looking to optimize your professional growth, I will help you define your path and equip you with the skills and confidence to pursue it. Together, we’ll work toward creating a career that not only fulfills your ambitions but also enhances your life.
