My Journey
Coaching has been my lifelong passion for over 40 years. It began on the court as a high school athlete and college coach, where I learned the power of discipline, teamwork, and pushing beyond limits.
In 2008, my leadership skills were put to the test when my husband deployed to Iraq. While managing life at home, I took my own growth to the next level by advancing my education, facilitating workshops, speaking to audiences, developing programs, and training other coaches.
Over the years, I’ve built a comprehensive approach to leadership development that combines executive coaching, consulting, training, speaking, and writing. My work is grounded in one core belief:
A healthier me creates a healthier we.
My Approach
I believe great leadership starts from within. Through deep self-awareness and Extreme Self-Care, leaders can show up with clarity, energy, and confidence — even in challenging seasons.
My coaching style is compassionate yet direct. I create a safe, confidential space where you can explore your patterns, clarify your values, and develop practical strategies that deliver real results.
