Professional Coaching You Can Trust
I earned my professional coaching certification through the University-based coaching program at Duquesne University, accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I continue to coach under the ICF's professional standards and ethics and earned my Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential in 2024. Continuing education remains an important part of my coaching practice because I believe every client deserves thoughtful, high-quality support. Through holistic wellness coaching, I help individuals strengthen their confidence, improve their well-being, and develop practical strategies for lasting personal growth.
Our Mission
I believe everyone has the ability to create a more fulfilling life when they're given the opportunity to reflect, grow, and discover their own strengths. My mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you feel heard without judgment and encouraged to move toward your goals with confidence. As a life coach in the United States, I'm committed to helping individuals create positive, lasting change that reflects their values, priorities, and aspirations.
Why I Became a Coach
There have been several moments in my own life when I wished I had someone who would simply listen, ask meaningful questions, and help me think through difficult decisions. I wasn't looking for someone to tell me what to do—I wanted someone who could help me see new perspectives and trust my own ability to move forward.
Those experiences inspired me to become the coach I once needed myself. Today, I provide that same supportive partnership to others. My role isn't to solve your problems or make decisions for you. Instead, I help you uncover your strengths, explore possibilities, and develop practical steps that support the future you want to create.

As the oldest of eight siblings, I learned early how to appreciate different personalities, communicate with empathy, and understand that everyone experiences life differently. Those lessons stayed with me throughout my career and continue to influence the way I coach today.
I studied psychology before building a career that included retail food service, the legal profession, and higher education fundraising and development. Each role gave me the opportunity to work with people from many different backgrounds, strengthening my ability to listen, build relationships, and understand the challenges people face during different stages of life. As a life coach in the United States, I bring those experiences into every coaching conversation, creating a welcoming environment where you can reflect openly and move forward with confidence.
My Coaching Philosophy
Coaching is about helping you discover the answers that already exist within you. I believe meaningful growth comes from understanding yourself more deeply, recognizing your strengths, and approaching challenges with confidence rather than fear. Through holistic wellness coaching, we'll explore the connections between your mindset, relationships, health, career, and personal goals, creating practical strategies that support every aspect of your well-being.
I also believe coaching should help you achieve Happiness, Understanding, Growth, Health, Exploration, and Success—the values that inspired the H.U.G.H.E.S. philosophy. My goal is to help you experience those qualities as you continue growing personally and professionally.
Beyond Coaching
Outside of coaching, you'll often find me reading, knitting, or crocheting—although my husband would probably say I already have more yarn than anyone could ever need! Staying active is another important part of my life, and I enjoy working out at home and attending CrossFit several mornings each week. After losing a significant amount of weight, I've remained committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle and understand the dedication required to create lasting habits.
Family is at the center of my life. My husband and I are proud grandparents of five wonderful grandchildren, and our home is shared with one dog and two cats who always keep us entertained. Living in the countryside provides the peace and quiet that allows me to recharge and appreciate life's simple moments.
