I’m not here to tell you what to do, I’m here to walk side-by-side with you through the major transitions in life and career.
Navigating Major Life & Career Transitions With Courage and Clarity
You're at a crossroads. You know something needs to change, but you're scared. What if you make the wrong decision? What if everyone thinks you're crazy? What if you can't figure out what comes next?
Here's what I know: The hardest part of any transition is making the decision and then navigating what comes after…
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.
I help people navigate major life and career transitions by combining practical strategy with the emotional and identity work that comes with change; so you can move from fear and doubt to courage and clarity.
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.
Vulnerability with yourself
That’s where the magic happens–when you’re willing to see and embrace yourself fully, without the armor.
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.
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..
Here's what nobody tells you about making "irrational" life changes:
The hard part happens in two phases: first is making the decision and then it's 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.
Each time, my analytical self told me to stay. Each time, I chose to leave anyway.
Every time I trusted that inner voice, even when it didn't make sense, 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.
Now, I help people navigate their own crossroads.
Whether you're in a career that looks good on paper but feels soul-crushing, stuck in the messy middle questioning everything, or scared to make a change everyone thinks is crazy, I can help you move forward with courage and clarity.
My coaching style blends practical strategy with the emotional and identity work that comes with major transitions. It's shaped by my work as a Mental Health Coach at Lyra, my 15 years in various educational leadership roles, and my training as an ICF-certified coach.
Because I've been there. Three times. And I know the way through.
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 trust your intuition when anxiety is screaming louder.
You can't step into who you're becoming if you're stuck in who you used to be.
That's why my approach strengthens both your practical strategy AND your mental capacity for change.
