Over 15 years ago, I began working as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Seattle, WA.  Although I enjoyed providing psychotherapy through my private practice, I became intrigued by the idea of personal life coaching. I soon discovered that people benefit from a more direct, solution-focused, and goal-oriented approach to counseling. Over time, I realized that coaching also aligned more with my personality of focusing more on possibilities and positive outcomes, rather than a problem or dysfunction. After years of providing psychotherapy, it was clear that my true passion and purpose is life coaching, so I pursued this wholeheartedly. 

​

Through my new coaching approach, the women I worked with benefited from the fact that I understood the psychology behind mental roadblocks. I knew how to sort through negative thinking, fear, and doubt to get my clients the results they desired. As I began to incorporate coaching into my counseling sessions, I watched my clients achieve personal growth and experience transformation in a shorter amount of time.

 

I grew to love coaching and became a Board Certified Coach. I enjoy helping women redefine how they see themselves and helping them find the courage to proudly own their goals and achievements. Through many years of experience, I have developed effective strategies that help women overcome the self-defeating thoughts that are keeping them stuck and unhappy. I inspire women to break through their personal roadblocks and become empowered to pursue their dreams.     

 

It can be difficult to hold on to your dreams and stay on your path.  However, when you continue to hear your inner voice nudging you in a certain direction, it is your responsibility to listen to it and be guided by it. We all have ideas, dreams, and goals.  At times, we need support, encouragement, and to be held accountable for transforming those dreams into strategic actions.

 

I believe that you already have all of the answers.  It is my job to help you bring those answers to the surface and build a plan so that you can align your actions with your life’s purpose. As your Life Coach, I will challenge and nudge you out of your comfort zone so that you can grow into the person that you were always meant to be.
