What I Do
Executive Coaching:I work with high-level executives to refine leadership capabilities, improve decision-making and navigate the complexities of their roles. My coaching focuses on emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and resilience, helping executives lead with authenticity, clarity, and confidence.
Leadership Consulting:I partner with organizations and leadership teams to create sustainable, high-performance cultures. My work includes team alignment, conflict resolution, leadership development and strategic planning; helping leaders inspire trust, build collaboration and drive organizational success.
Therapy and Counseling:I provide a safe, supportive environment for individuals and couples dealing with a range of emotional challenges from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and life transitions. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and draws from multiple therapeutic perspectives to help clients overcome obstacles and develop healthy coping strategies.
My Background and ExperienceI have a Bachelor's degree in Human Movement and two Master’s degrees—one in Education and the other in Counseling Psychology. I also hold a Ph.D. in Sport and Exercise Management, with a specialized focus on Youth Development through Sport and Mentoring and Organizational Satisfaction. Over the years, I have worked with individuals and teams, helping them achieve greater self-awareness, resilience and well-being.
Personal InsightsOutside of my professional work, I’m passionate about traveling, adventuring and exploring, hiking, reading and spending time with my family. This past summer I completed my first pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago de Compostela and am now hooked! I believe in the importance of balance, which is why I bring a holistic approach to everything I do. I understand that personal well-being is key to professional success, and I strive to model this balance in my own life.
As a therapist and coach, my role is to walk alongside you, offering support, guidance, and strategies to help you move forward with clarity and confidence. I take pride in creating a space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered to take meaningful action in their lives.
- Finding Meaning through Teaching, Coaching and Healing
- My journey has been one of continuous learning, exploration, and discovery. Throughout my life, I’ve sought meaning through both personal and professional growth and in this process I have found my true calling: helping others navigate their own paths to fulfillment. Whether through mentoring, coaching, counseling or therapy, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to unlock their potential, heal from their past, and lead lives full of purpose and meaning.
Approach to Coaching and TherapyI believe in the power of alignment—between mindset, behavior and actions. My approach blends therapeutic modalities with results-driven coaching to create a holistic experience that addresses both personal and professional growth. For me, coaching isn’t just about improving performance—it's about building the emotional and mental resilience that allows you to face challenges with confidence, clarity and purpose.
I believe that true transformation happens when you tap into your innate strengths and align them with your core values. My work is rooted in the conviction that everyone has the potential to grow and thrive, and my role is to help you unlock that potential.
