After more than two decades in the high‑pressure world of the legal profession, I began to feel a growing sense that something was missing. Even with years of expertise, experience, and hard‑earned accomplishments, there was a deeper pull, a desire to create more meaningful impact and realign my life with who I truly was becoming.
In 2014, driven by that calling, I earned my coaching certification. As a divorced mother of two, I balanced my legal career while coaching part‑time, supporting clients whenever I could. Those early years allowed me to refine my skills, gain experience, and witness firsthand the power of mindset work in helping people navigate personal and professional challenges.
During my own periods of stress and transition, I leaned into mindset practices that helped me gain clarity, shift unhelpful patterns, build confidence, strengthen resilience, and reconnect with what mattered most. This work supported my own transformation and ultimately shaped the foundation of my coaching philosophy, combined with my strong leadership skills.
Today, I partner with mid-career professionals as they navigate career growth, leadership challenges, transitions, and reinvention. Together, we uncover limiting patterns, explore new perspectives, and take values‑aligned action that supports meaningful, sustainable inner and outer leadership growth.
My reinvention from the legal profession into the world of coaching was not a leap, it was a realignment. It brought me back to my authentic self and gave me the freedom to build a career that reflects who I am and how I want to contribute. Through contract coaching on a global platform and the launch of my own private practice, I’ve had the privilege of supporting professionals from diverse industries, roles, and cultures, as they strengthen their leadership presence.
As a Leadership Coach, I partner with mid‑career professionals, helping them gain clarity, build confidence, and strengthen resilience so they can lead with purpose.
My journey is one of reinvention, resilience, and choosing alignment, and it’s the same transformation I now help others create.
