Bio
“From a very young age, I found myself being the girl my classmates turned to when they needed someone to “vent to.” It’s not something I’ve ever taken for granted; in fact, I value vulnerability immensely. Being that I was used to this dynamic from such an early age, I realized how much I loved listening and helping others. That’s when I decided that one day, I would turn this natural inclination into my career.
What truly deepened my passion for helping others, especially in grief coaching, was a personal experience: the passing of my father. Experiencing real loss gave me an entirely new perspective on the importance of support during such difficult times. I went through the five stages of grief and, along the way, learned so much about myself. It was an incredibly challenging journey, but one that also brought immense growth and understanding.
Grief can feel isolating, but a safe space where you can process everything without judgment makes all the difference. It’s an honor for me to hold that space for others, offering empathy, understanding, and the kind of support that comes from both personal experience and a deep desire to help.
As a coach, the approach I like to take centers around motivational interviewing. I believe in creating a space where the client can speak to their heart's content, expressing whatever is on their mind without interruption. Only after they’ve fully shared their thoughts do I step in to ask questions relevant to the situation they’ve presented. These questions aren’t just about finding answers—they’re designed to spark their own curiosity and interest in exploring their concerns more deeply.
What I’ve found time and again is that most clients already hold the answers they’re searching for within themselves. My role is not to give them those answers but to assist in uncovering and piecing them together. By guiding them through the process of self-discovery, I help them see their concerns from new angles and connect with their inner wisdom. It’s a collaborative journey, one that’s empowering and rooted in the belief that they are capable of navigating their challenges with clarity and confidence.”
