When I was a kid, I used to believe that my parents could read my mind. They knew exactly what I wanted when I wanted it. Eventually, I realized that that wasn’t the case, and although they could attend to my basic needs, they really didn’t know what I really needed and wanted unless I told them. I was a shy kid and as I got older, I worked hard to improve my communication skills, whether it was taking a speech and debate class, getting a customer service job, speaking up in meetings, and learning how to deliver feedback effectively. Over the years, I have learned that communication is key to relationships in life and at work and it cannot be underestimated. Now, I work with my coaching clients to improve and refine their communication skills.

When I’m not coaching, I am currently wearing all hats by heading up an HR department, including focusing on communication and leadership coaching. I studied English Literature in college and then got my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy in 2010. My passion is coaching and helping people through challenging situations, relationships, and moments of uncertainty. I thrive on making a connection with others, helping them to navigate through change, and seeing them grow into their best potential selves.

In June 2023, I completed the UC Davis Professional Coaching for Life and Work Certification program and became an ICF Certified Coach. I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF).

I’ve been where you are and I can help you to see what you really want and partner with you on the steps that it will take to get there. It’s time to reconnect with yourself. It’s time to own your life again. Let’s take the first step together.
