Live a life you love

Deep down, you know that there is potential to be unlocked within you. You want change, but you feel unsure how to move beyond the blocks and become who you truly want to be.

I am here to create a space just for you, so you can tap into your inner wisdom, find clarity, and take action to live a meaningful life you love.

My path to coaching

I have always been fascinated by the human journey to meaning, true excellence, wellness, and soulful fulfillment.

Unbeknownst to me, a thread was forming as I chose to study philosophy as a science major in undergrad, dove into neuroscience in graduate school, and often joked with students that teaching science is just an excuse to get to know them!

An unexpected endometriosis diagnosis dissolved my linear career path and ignited a multi-year journey to reconnect with my truest values: health, relationships, and meaningful work.

As I listened intently to my inner knowing, a new path emerged: coaching—a beautiful expression of my deep desire to facilitate people’s growth.

Today, I am training as a coach in the Leadership Coaching Certificate program at the University of San Diego.

It would be my honor to connect with you and support you in living a rich and meaningful life.

Are we a good match?

Wholeness

Wholeness is your nature. You are not looking to be diagnosed or treated as broken. You want clarity and action, guided by your inner wisdom.

Progress-driven

You don’t just want to talk. You want to take concrete actions to grow and become who you are meant to be. 

Holistic

You want to be deeply met by someone who honors the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual interplays of life. You enjoy integration, not fragmentation.
