As a coach, I've learned that effective coaching isn't just about techniques or knowledge—it's about connecting with individuals on a deeply personal level. Through my own diverse life experiences, I've come to understand the profound impact that personal understanding can have on coaching relationships.


My journey has been a rich tapestry of experiences, from being a mother of two to serving as a police officer for nearly three decades. I've navigated divorce, worked as an addiction counselor, and held roles as a health advisor and vice president of a cultural organization on a military base. These varied experiences have given me a unique perspective through which I can relate to and empathize with others seeking guidance and support.


In my coaching practice, I've found that the power of feeling seen, heard, and understood is crucial for success. When individuals share their struggles, they're not just looking for solutions—they're seeking validation and empathy. By connecting with someone who has faced similar challenges, they find reassurance that they're not alone and that their experiences are valid.


Creating a safe and open space where individuals feel comfortable expressing themselves is paramount. Whether it's navigating the complexities of parenthood, overcoming personal hardships, or finding purpose after significant life changes, my goal is to offer support rooted in genuine understanding and empathy.


At the core of effective coaching lies the ability to forge authentic connections based on shared experiences and a deep sense of empathy. Through my own journey, I've seen firsthand the transformative power of feeling truly understood. It's a privilege to extend that same sense of understanding to those I have the honor of coaching.


In my coaching sessions, I prioritize active listening and ensuring that each individual feels heard and validated. By building trust and rapport, we can work together to navigate challenges, overcome obstacles, and achieve personal growth and transformation.


If you're feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or facing significant life changes, know that you're not alone. As a coach, I'm here to offer support, guidance, and empathy every step of the way. Let's embark on this journey together, knowing that understanding and connection are the keys to unlocking your full potential.
