Get to Know Me
I believe connection starts with understanding.
Watch this video to see if we're meant to work together.
I'm not here to tell you what to do. I'm here to help you connect your logic with your intuition — so you can fully trust yourself.
When Your Logic Says Stay But Your Soul Says Go
You're at a crossroads. You've achieved what you thought you wanted—but something's missing. Everyone thinks you should be happy. But you're dying inside.
Here's what I know: The hardest part isn't making the decision. It's navigating the overthinking trap when you're torn between what makes sense and what feels true.
The identity crisis when you're no longer "the [job title]."
The financial fear.
The 2 AM doubt.
The pressure from people who think you're staying put is the "safe" choice.
The uncertainty of what’s next.
The "But I've invested so much..." voice in your head.
I help people whose logic says stay but whose intuition says go, by combining practical strategy with the emotional work of connecting these two parts of yourself—so you can stop overthinking, quiet the anxiety, and choose yourself with both confidence and alignment.
My Values
Courage to make a change in yourself and in your world.
Growth starts the moment you decide to act–on your vision, on your values, and on the life you want to create.
Trust Your Knowing
You already know what you need to do. The work isn't about choosing between logic and intuition—it's about connecting them, so you can trust yourself even when everyone thinks you're crazy.
Fun
The work might be deep, messy, and challenging, but we’ll laugh, we’ll play, and we’ll find joy in the process.
Integrity to show up for yourself
Even when it’s inconvenient, uncomfortable, or requires hard truths, because the real work–and the real growth–happens when you face it head-on.
Everything is welcome
This is a safe, no-judgment space to explore who you are. You’ll feel seen and heard here–and I’ll help you see and hear yourself, too.
Vulnerability with yourself
That’s where the magic happens–when you’re willing to see and embrace yourself fully, without the armor.
From Investment Banking to Classroom to Coaching
I've cried in my car at a breaking point three times in my life.
The first time, I was working at an investment bank. Great salary, impressive title, my immigrant parents were proud. But I was dying inside, working 14-hour days doing work that felt empty.
The second time, I was 10 years into teaching with tenure and a pension. I was the teacher others observed, and I loved my students. But I was burnt out, angry, and no longer recognizing myself.
The third time, I was an instructional coach who had just invested in my coaching certification (a huge leap when my husband wasn't working). After leading a training that bombed, I realized I was fighting uphill against a system that resisted change.
Each time, my analytical self told me to stay.
Each time, I chose to leave anyway.
Each time, I learned the same lesson: It wasn’t about choosing logic OR intuition to make the transition.
That tension between the two is what kept me stuck in the first place — overthinking, anxious, and frozen with fear.
The breakthrough came when I learned how to connect my analytical mind with my intuition.
Here's what nobody tells you about making major life changes when your logic says stay:
The hard part happens in two phases: first, making the decision, and then navigating what comes after—the identity crisis when you're no longer "the banker" or "the teacher," the financial fear, the 2 AM doubt, the pressure from people who think you're crazy.
But here's what I learned: Your intuition is wise and is never wrong.
Every time I trusted that inner voice—even when it didn't make sense, even when everyone thought I was crazy—things worked out. Not immediately. Not easily. But they did.
When I was at the investment bank, my mom reminded me how much I loved working with kids. I found a volunteer role and tested teaching for six months before making the leap.
When I knew I needed to leave teaching, I got my coaching certification while still in the classroom. I didn't wait until I had it all figured out. I just took the next right step.
I already knew what I needed to do. I just needed to connect my logic with my intuition and trust myself.
Now, I help people navigate their own "logic says stay, soul says go" moments.
Whether you're in a career that looks good on paper but feels soul-crushing, stuck in the overthinking trap questioning everything, or scared to make a change everyone thinks is crazy—I help you connect your logic with your intuition so you can stop overthinking, quiet the anxiety, and choose yourself.
My coaching combines practical strategy with the emotional work of connecting your analytical mind with your intuitive knowing. It's shaped by my work as a Mental Health Coach at Lyra (where I've heard this same struggle in countless sessions), my 15+ years in education, and my training as an ICF-certified coach.
Because the struggle isn't choosing between logic and intuition. The struggle is learning how to connect them.
Why Mental Well-Being matters when going through major life and career transitions
This isn't just career coaching or life coaching; it's life and career transition coaching that addresses your mental well-being. After coaching hundreds of clients and working as a Mental Health Coach at Lyra Health, I've learned that our mental well-being is often at the root of or becomes the barrier to navigating transitions successfully.
You can't make a clear decision when you're overwhelmed.
You can't hear and trust your intuition when anxiety is screaming louder.
You can't step into who you're becoming if you're stuck in your fears.
That's why my approach strengthens both your practical strategy AND your mental capacity to connect logic with intuition and trust yourself.
Professional Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation
