Alongside my training in executive coaching and counseling psychology, I bring years of leadership and non-profit experience into this work.
More importantly, I bring a deep ability to listen beneath the surface — to hear what’s being said, what isn’t, and what someone may be reaching toward but doesn’t yet have words for.
That combination of practical experience and intuitive clarity allows me to support women with steadiness, insight, and an honest understanding of what real change requires.
My work draws professional training, leadership experience, and lived insight into the complexity of women’s lives.

In my early forties, the life I had built stopped fitting.
From the outside, everything looked right. I had checked the boxes, played the roles, and built a life that made sense on paper. But somewhere along the way I had lost contact with who I was beneath it all.
What followed wasn’t a sudden collapse, but a slow, conscious unraveling. The roles I had carried for years — the expectations, identities, and ways of living that once felt acceptable — began to loosen their hold.
I found myself standing at a threshold between the life I had built and the life that was asking to emerge.
Crossing that threshold meant taking responsibility for my life in a way I never had before — letting go of identities that no longer fit and choosing, deliberately, how I wanted to live.
That experience now shapes the work I do with women navigating their own midlife thresholds — the moment when what once felt acceptable becomes impossible to ignore.
Insight is often the easy part. The real work is taking responsibility for your life and leading it differently, even when that work is uncomfortable.
A season of conscious unravelling
Why I do this work
I do this work because I’ve lived the kind of midlife threshold many women eventually face.
I know the disorientation and exhilaration of that season — the slow unmasking that begins when you start to see clearly the roles you’ve been playing and the expectations you’ve been carrying.
I work with women who find themselves standing at their own thresholds — moments when what once felt acceptable no longer works, and something deeper is asking to emerge.
Women who are ready to take responsibility for what comes next and begin leading their lives differently.
The threshold — that liminal space between what was and what’s next — is rarely comfortable.
But it’s where the real work begins.
I bring a grounded, direct presence to this work, combined with strong intuition and years of leadership experience.
I listen carefully for what’s said and what isn’t — the unspoken dynamics, the subtle shifts, the truths waiting beneath the surface.
My role isn’t to give advice or tell you what to do.
It’s to help you see clearly, take responsibility for what comes next, and begin leading your life differently..

Credentials & Training
Supporting Women Caring for Loved Ones with Dementia
Part of my work is gently supporting women who are caring for a parent or loved one with dementia. This is a journey I know personally — one marked by grief, confusion, responsibility, and a kind of aloneness that’s hard to put into words. It's why I created Daughters of Dementia - a compassionate space for women walking the complex, often lonely path of loving a parent through dementia.
Watching someone you love change in front of you brings up questions you never expected, including quiet fears about what the future might hold for you as well.
It can also stir emotions you never thought you’d feel — anger, frustration, even flashes of rage that feel uncomfortable to admit. These reactions don’t make you unloving or unkind; they are part of the impossible tension of holding so much while losing so much at the same time.
I offer a grounded, compassionate space where you can talk about the parts you don’t say out loud — the grief inside the relationship, the exhaustion, the unspoken fears, and the emotional complexity of loving someone through something you can’t control. You don’t have to carry this chapter by yourself.
