MY STORY
I have always been an overachiever.
​
I graduated high school at 16.
College at 19.
Commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Marine Corps at 20 - one of the youngest women ever to do so.
Got my Master's at 25.
Had an entire career by the time I got out of the service at 26.
​
And two-ish years into my first, civilian job - making well over six figures, living in D.C., working fully remote, and living the "American dream"...
​
I was miserable.
​
Every morning, I woke up feeling anxiety and dread.
And I couldn't understand why.
​
It wasn't my job. It wasn't my company. ​I had followed all of the rules, checked all of the boxes, and done all of the things I'd been told would make me "successful."
​
And while knew I should be grateful, I couldn’t help wondering:
“Is this all there is? What do I actually want to be when I grow up?”
I didn't appreciate it then, but those questions would trigger a full-blown identity crisis.
But they also sent me on an 18+ month journey that revolutionized my life.
I realized, I didn’t need a new job or a new career, I needed a new roadmap for my life.
I needed clarity. And I needed the courage to act on it.
Today, I take other high-functioning, high-performing, ambitious veterans on that same journey to reclaim their identity and sense of purpose post-military service.
They don’t "need" coaching. They WANT coaching.
They recognize that the impact they desire is possible if they invest in themselves and get support from someone who has:
-
been exactly where they are
-
believes in their vision
-
doesn’t buy in to their fears and excuses
-
will hold them accountable
My coaching program turns fear into clarity and gives my clients the courage to either step into a bigger impact in their corporate career OR identify a purpose outside of a 9-5.
Whether you are still active duty anticipating the leap from military to civilian life or have been removed from service a few years and are still figuring out “what’s next,” you don’t need more time...
You need a process that will get you results.
It’s time to ditch the rule book that got you here.
And start living a life that actually feels mission critical.

Clinging to your past is like wearing a high school letterman jacket a few decades too long. It made sense then. Now it's an identity crisis.

MY COACHING PHILOSOPHY
01
Coaching is an intentional investment in your future self.
It is not a luxury, or self-care, or something you can afford to put off until a better time. It is a mental discipline, an exercise regimen—no different than eating well and going to the gym—that is deeply integral to our personal growth and quality of life.
02
Coaching is not for everyone.
Very few people can convince us to take ownership of something for which we are not ready. The inverse is also true: once we decide—truly decide—to take ownership of a problem or situation, very few people can talk us out of it. I am a firm believer in the idea that while the inherent value of coaching requires no explanation, it is ineffective to impose that value upon people before they are ready.
03
Coaching results compound in value.
What if going to the doctor for a sprained ankle simultaneously improved your gut health, your cognitive function, your vision prescription, eliminated every risk factor for cancer, and gave you muscle tone you’ve always wanted? (That would be a pretty amazing doctor!)
Now what if going to that same doctor not only improved your overall health, but your friend’s health and your mom’s health and your coworker’s and your partner’s…and and and…you get the idea. That is the effect of great coaching!
Not only does it address the circumstances in your own life, it spills over to affect everything and everyone with whom you come into contact. Because you are different, you begin to see the world differently.
This is why I believe coaching is the single greatest investment you will ever make!
