Welcome to My Office!
A poem, just for you, about you.
Coming home to what matters most.
I know what it’s like to hit all those professional milestones. To have success, respect, a full calendar, and yet still yearn for something else.
The voice that whispers, “There must be more than this.”
(Believe me - if left alone, those whispers only get louder with each passing day.)
For over 30 years now, I’ve worked with over a 1000 capable professionals attempting to navigate this very moment - between what is no longer working and what hasn’t yet arrived.
I’m a Women-Centered Empowerment Coach, Certified (Medical) Hypnotherapist, and Master Rapid Eye Technician based in California. With over three decades of experience and more than 1,000 clients served, I bring a blend of neuroscience-informed tools, depth psychology and intuitive insight to the work I do.
I specialize in helping professional women dismantle self-doubt and persistent limiting beliefs, reclaim self-worth and step back into a life of clarity, confidence and fulfillment.
Women who’ve achieved so much, but feel a restlessness they can’t ignore.
A yearning for something deeper, more fulfilling, more true.
And I’ve been there, too.
Tension, turkeys and turning points.
In my early career I worked in management, and then sales.
I was driven and capable, yet constantly trying to prove myself by working harder, doing more, and ‘getting it right’ in everyone’s else's eyes.
Beneath this outward veneer of success I was a constant hum of anxiety and tension. I didn’t even recognize it at the time. It was just how I lived.
My doctor diagnosed adrenal fatigue. I fell asleep behind the wheel on the way to a sales call. No supplement or power nap could fix the deep-seated depletion I was living with.
I continued pushing through the exhaustion until I burned out completely.
One day, walking through the drab grey halls of the food sales company I worked for, I heard my colleagues celebrating some big wins - truckloads of tomatoes had been sold, the turkey contracts were secured - and I realized, in a flash of brilliant clarity:
“I don’t care about tomatoes or turkeys. I need to find my life’s purpose.”
That single thought stirred something deep inside and set me on a path of self-discovery that changed everything.
From “helping others” to a deeper empowerment.
Through coaching, guided inner work, and a profound connection to my own intuition, I uncovered the truth that had been waiting for me all along:
My purpose is to allow the light in others to shine.
I became a hypnotherapist, and then a personal coach, and over the next two decades I helped clients heal emotional wounds, release inherited patterns, and reclaim their inherent power. I saw lives shift. I saw careers reignite, relationships heal and confidence return.
And so I kept learning, clearing my old beliefs, unlearning perfectionism, and reclaiming the parts of me I had buried to fit in.
But when I reached my late 50s, a deeper calling stirred again. The brevity of life raised its head.
I relocated. My mother passed away. Then my mother-in-law. And something inside me asked:
“What do I truly want for this next chapter?”
“How can I make the greatest impact, with everything I now know?”
These experiences ignited the next evolution of my work and purpose.
Your light, your leadership.
This time, I wasn’t running from burnout. I was rising into my power instead. It wasn’t about escaping what wasn’t working. It was about consciously creating what would.
I wanted to offer more than short-term relief. I wanted to help women build something lasting, something that would hold up in real life, not just in theory.
That’s when I began building the framework that would eventually become the 5 Pillars of Self-Leadership.
After years of experience, wrestling with the big ideas of self-ownership and self-improvement, I realized that the path to real confidence and impact didn’t start with outer action. It started with:
That’s how I stepped into my own power. That’s how I found my freedom and rid my life of self-doubt.
And it’s how I help other women do the same.
The 5 Pillars of Self-Leadership is a transformational framework designed to help professional women like you reconnect with your inner strength and wisdom - so you can move into your next chapter with clarity, confidence, and real power.
Because what I’ve learned is this:
You can’t white-knuckle your way to fulfillment.
You can’t logic your way out of self-doubt.
And you certainly don’t need ‘fixing’.
You need to return to the deep well of wisdom that resides within. And what I know is that wisdom, that truth, is waiting to be discovered.
When we work together, I’ll help you break free from the conditioning and the persistent patterns that have shaped your life from the outside in, and reconnect to the self-leadership that lets you live, love, and lead - from the inside out.
This is not surface-level coaching. It’s a deeper kind of transformation that requires courage and commitment. One that honors your strengths, your values and your pace.

If you’re feeling that quiet ache for something more…
It’s not a sign of weakness, it’s a sign of readiness.
Let's answer that call together, and leave your self-doubt behind for good.
