Rewrite Your Stories
Empower Your Journey with Life Coaching
At my core, I believe in the power of stories. Every experience shapes who you are. I help program evaluators, educators, and non-profit leaders explore their narratives. Together, we work towards balance, ensuring you show up fully in your community while nurturing your well-being with the self-trust necessary to take risks and deepen connection.
I understand the challenges you face. I am a former scientist turned program evaluator, academic administrator, and life coach. Juggling so many hats made it easier to put myself last and ultimately resulted in burnout, fatigue, and a dissatisfaction with life and relationships. I stopped taking risks because trusting myself meant facing hard truths, being honest & vulnerable with myself and others, and realizing that I was worthy of a life bigger than what I was living.
My coaching approach is focused on empowerment and connection. By fostering a supportive environment, I help you rediscover your passion and purpose, unfold the stories you’ve told yourself, and rewrite what comes next. This process involves tapping into your inner voice, re-building your relationship with trust and self, practicing taking small and manageable risks in between sessions, and re-learning how to use vulnerability and risk taking as a bridge to deepen connection with others while expanding your relationships, teams, and communities.
My Journey
As an administrator, I saw countless educators and non-profit leaders pouring their hearts into their work yet feeling overwhelmed. I knew I had to help. Through personal experiences and a passion for support, I dedicated myself to guiding others in finding balance and joy in their lives through life coaching – a practice that puts you in the role of the expert.
Supportive Guidance
I offer a safe space for program evaluators, educators, and non-profit leaders to explore their challenges. My coaching focuses on self-discovery, balance, and personal growth. Together, we’ll uncover the tools you need to manage stress, foster connections, and bring your best self to the communities you serve. Let’s thrive together!
My Core Values
- Curiosity – the recognition, pursuit, and intense desire to explore novel, challenging, and uncertain events (Snyder, C. R., & Lopez, S. J. (2009). Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology. Oxford: Oxford University Press)
- Connection – the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when hey can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship (Dr. Brené Brown)
- Community – (as defined by M. Scott Peck and brought to my consciousness by bell hooks): “the coming together of a group of individuals who have learned to communicate honestly with each other, whose relationships go deeper than their masks of composure, and who have developed some significant commitment to rejoice together, mourn together, and to delight in each other, and make others’ conditions our own.”
