Your story. Your voice.
You are a whole person — not a problem to be fixed.
You’ve had the realization. Maybe it came slowly, or maybe it hit you all at once — the recognition that you’ve spent years checking the boxes, meeting the expectations, and saying “yes” to make others happy. You’ve been the capable one, the reliable one, the one who holds it all together. But somewhere in the process of doing everything “right,” you lost the connection back to yourself.
You don’t need another self-help book, boundary-setting script, or mindset hack. You need someone to help you answer the question that comes after all of that:
Who am I when I’m not trying to be perfect and perform for everyone else?
That’s the work we do here.
I’m not here to fix you, because you were never broken. I’m not here to make you into a new version of yourself, but to help you reconnect with the one that’s already there, and build a life that finally reflects her.
Our work together focuses on:
Uncovering your actual values, the ones that are genuinely yours rather than inherited or forced, so every decision starts from a place of self-trust instead of self-doubt
Rebuilding your identity from the inside out by moving away from who everyone expected you to be and toward a version of yourself you actually recognize
Turning awareness into action. moving away from “all-or-nothing” perfectionism and toward more balance and alignment to make your values livable, day by day
I’m here to help you stop living for approval and start living for you.
Background & Credentials
Why I do this work — and what I bring to it
I’ve spent over a decade in corporate HR, working closely with high-performing, deeply capable people who were quietly falling apart. The “Sunday scaries” that never went away. The over-preparation before every meeting. The inability to say no, no matter the cost. I watched ambitious women shrink themselves, exhaust themselves, and lose themselves - all while looking completely fine from the outside.
I recognized it so clearly because I was living the same thing.
My own journey through perfectionism, people-pleasing, and recovery from a severe eating disorder taught me something that no certification could: the women who struggle most with approval-seeking aren’t struggling because something is wrong with them. They’re struggling because they never had the space, or support, to figure out who they actually are outside of everyone else’s expectations.
That’s the space I create.
I’m a certified Life Coach through the International Coach Federation (2019) and a certified Health & Wellness Coach through the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching (2024). My approach is evidence-informed, compassionate, and rooted in one core belief: sustainable change comes from building self-trust, not from enforcing stricter rules or harsher standards.
Since 2025 I’ve worked within a wellness coaching company supporting corporate leaders and a mental health coaching company supporting kids, teens, and young adults, gaining experience across a wide range of challenges including anxiety, ADHD, disordered eating, self-esteem, relationship dynamics, and identity questions with clients ages 6-55. But what I’ve come to care about most is helping high-achieving women in their 20s and 30s break approval-seeking patterns, reconnect with their own voice, and build lives that reflect who they actually are, not just who they’ve learned to be for others.
This is the work I’ve done in my own life, supported by the registered dietitians, therapists, and mindset coaches who helped me find my own way back.
I know what it feels like to rebuild from the inside out. And I know how to help you do the same.
If you’re ready to stop living for approval and start building a life that feels like yours, I’d love to be a part of that.
