Why Did I Become a Coach?

That’s a great question!

I chose to take a different approach so I could reach more people, make a difference on a larger scale, and help others with greater freedom.

First and foremost, I chose to become a coach because I chose myself.

I love sharing knowledge drawn from my professional experience and, at times, from my own personal journey. I love creating an emotionally safe space for people who are experiencing grief, anxiety, or major life crossroads—people who find themselves having to choose between themselves and others.

I love accompanying people as they move from the caterpillar stage and begin to discover the beautiful butterflies they are becoming.

I chose to specialize in identity reconstruction coaching because I genuinely and deeply believe that you are a beautiful person. Sometimes, all it takes is brushing away the dust that has accumulated over time so you can rediscover who you truly are.

I love helping people become who they were always meant to be, even when life has led them away from their truth for countless reasons, each one as valid as the next.

I also love helping people make decisions that truly serve them.

Life transitions can feel like rites of passage—retirement, entering a relationship, becoming a parent, or going through a separation. Other transitions are more deeply personal: Who was I, and who do I want to become?

I became a coach because I want you to have the freedom to become yourself—your true, authentic self.
