Coaching

I focus on coaching high functioning career women on the rise to expand your sense of confidence and overcome challenges. My formal foundation in clinical and organizational psychology paired with 14 years experience working internally in the corporate world earlier in my career makes me uniquely qualified. Let me help you avoid pitfalls and learn from the mistakes I made to help you maneuver workplace dynamics and achieve your goals.

I am enthusiastic about helping my clients develop effective coping and leadership skills, maneuver and grow with change, successfully address work and personal pressures, develop and enhance natural strengths, and manage the effects of personal and organizational shifts.
