Life Coaching, Events, and Resources

I am passionate about holding open a safe and gentle space to allow my life coaching clients to explore whatever personal aspects of their lives need attention. Our professional work is a critical part of who we are, but we are so much more. My life coaching practice allows my clients to explore their values, identities and to envisage creative and fulfilling paths forward in navigating their challenges and creating the foundations for exciting new chapters in their lives. If you feel stuck, lacking in confidence, clarity and direction I can help. My advanced training with Erickson Coaching International is tailor-made for life coaching subjects of any kind.

As a certified executive and life coach, I help individuals navigate personal and professional transitions with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Clients often come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, at a crossroads, or ready to pursue a big goal, seeking a more grounded and fulfilling life. Life coaching areas I specialize in: - Major life transitions - Dating and relationships - Effective communication - Neurodiverse success strategies - Step-parenting - Building emotional intelligence Clients describe me as direct and honest, with a sense of humor that keeps things grounded. I say what clients need (not always what they want) to hear, in a way that lands and drives change. I challenge clients to face their blind spots and grow through them, while offering compassion and support. I bring warmth and structure to every session, helping you reconnect with your values, build resilience, and take meaningful action on your terms.

A seasoned Executive, Advisor, and Coach with over 25 years of experience—including 17+ years at Alphabet—driving strategic partnerships, business development, and operational excellence. As a coach, I specialize in guiding individuals through pivotal moments of change and growth, empowering leaders to unlock their full potential and take purposeful, high-impact action.

I’ll be honest: I never imagined I would become the person I am today. The 20-year-old version of me would probably look at me with wide eyes and have a hard time believing how far we’ve come and how much closer I’ve become to the person I once hoped to be. That journey taught me something important: the relationship you have with yourself changes everything. Learning to listen to yourself, respect your needs, trust your own judgment and become your own ally can completely change the way you experience your life. That’s the kind of work I want to do with my clients. Not by chasing a perfect version of yourself, but by creating new habits, new choices and concrete actions that help you feel more aligned, more confident and more at peace with who you are.

Let's connect and start your journey towards success today!

My journey through the fast-paced world of Big Tech, including over 15 years at Microsoft in leadership roles, taught me invaluable lessons not just about career success, but about creating a life with meaning and balance. I've seen many talented individuals excel professionally while feeling something was missing in their personal lives, or struggling to navigate big life decisions and transitions. As a Life Coach, I bring the same practical, results-oriented approach that defined my tech career to help you gain clarity and achieve your personal goals. My experience isn't just in product roadmaps and team leadership; it's in understanding human motivation, overcoming complex challenges, and the importance of a clear vision—for your life. I partner with you to: - Define what truly matters to you: We'll explore your values, passions, and what a fulfilling life looks like for you, cutting through the noise and external pressures. - Set and achieve meaningful personal goals: Whether it's finding better work-life harmony, navigating a major change, boosting your confidence, or pursuing a long-held dream, we'll create an actionable plan. - Build resilience and overcome obstacles: Life throws curveballs. I'll help you develop strategies to navigate challenges, learn from setbacks, and keep moving forward with purpose. If you're ready to take intentional steps towards a more aligned and satisfying life, I'm here to offer guidance, support, and accountability.

My life coaching philosophy is simple: your perceived weaknesses are often your hidden superpowers waiting to be unleashed. This truth became crystal clear during my own journey of late neurodivergent discovery, where I realized that years of feeling "too much," "too intense," or "too different" had actually been preparing me for work that requires deep empathy, pattern recognition, and the ability to see what others miss. I help clients reframe their stories and recognize that the very things they've been told to hide or fix might be their greatest assets. Whether you're navigating neurodivergence, recovering from trauma, or simply ready to stop living someone else's version of your life, I guide you in discovering that your authentic self isn't a consolation prize—it's the main event. My approach honors the complexity of human experience while providing practical tools for building a life that truly fits who you are.

I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and Certified Co-Active Coach (CPCC). Ambition Without Burnout is my signature approach for high achievers who look successful on paper and feel stuck, tired, or quietly unsure underneath. The goal is not less ambition. It is ambition that is clearer, more sustainable, and aligned with the life you actually want. Before coaching full time I spent nearly two decades in demanding leadership roles at Amazon, IBM, and Ogilvy, where I saw how burnout, self-doubt, and overwhelm limit even the most capable people, and lived some of it myself. As a coach I help clients reconnect with what truly matters, quiet the inner critic, and shift long-standing patterns such as perfectionism, people-pleasing, and fear of visibility. My style is warm and direct: a safe space for honest reflection, paired with real action. Clients rate my coaching 5.0 across 36 reviews.
