I became a coach because I love helping people find more happiness and fulfillment in their lives and careers, which often means supporting my clients with the same types of issues I personally have wrestled with, whether that is silencing my inner critic, taming procrastination, or differentiating between what I really want versus what I think I “should” want. My coaching superpower is seeing the potential in my clients that they cannot always see for themselves.

I have been coaching and mentoring leaders and executives for over fifteen years, with a passion for helping leaders navigate their most complex situations, while staying true to their values. I bring a wealth of knowledge to my coaching practice, with HR experience at top companies like Apple and PepsiCo. I received my Professional Coaching Certification (CPC) through the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC), which is accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I am the founder of Focus and Flourish Coaching, where I've successfully helped individuals shift limiting beliefs and unlock their potential, enabling them to move forward authentically and effectively. Whether you're looking to enhance your leadership skills or thrive amidst chaos, I'm here to support your journey. Let's connect and explore how I can help you flourish in your personal and professional life!
