There are many reasons why you might feel stuck at work. Maybe it’s those golden handcuffs, maybe your job is no longer challenging, or maybe something just feels off. Or do you work so much that you’ve forgotten to enjoy life? Can you afford to leave? Ultimately, what is all this work for?

I’ve been there. I understand the fear of the unknown and taking that next step. You have inherent brilliance and direction inside. Together, we will uncover your unique strengths, talents, and values, breaking through the barriers holding you back. We will create the clarity you crave and the confidence you need to take the next steps.

In addition to career coaching, I specialize in executive resume and cover letter writing for high-achieving professionals looking to reposition themselves or pivot into an entirely new industry. I love helping my clients tell their stories in a way that highlights their accomplishments and unique value, empowering them to secure the roles they aspire to.

Early in my career, I made a pivot from social services in New York City government to the trading floor of Goldman Sachs. People asked me, “How did you make that change?” At the heart of it, I believed it was possible.

That’s not to say it was easy, or that change happened overnight. I made a long series of small steps—and missteps. I faced lots of rejection. I wrestled with feelings of self-doubt, uncertainty, and fear. But I adapted and persisted, and eventually I found an open door.

Since then, I've navigated many more pivots, each time encountering similar challenges in different forms. Somewhere along the way, I learned how the right strategy, structure, and support can make all the difference in reaching your goals. I came to appreciate the life-changing magic of this process. If you, too, want to take bold steps and uncover new possibilities, I would be honored to support you in bringing your vision to life.

Falls Church, Virginia

I am an ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and licensed U.S. attorney with over two decades of experience successfully navigating career transitions and life pivots. Having lived in eight countries and worked across four continents, I truly understand firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with change.

I currently serve as the Associate Director of Graduate Career Coaching at Georgetown University's Walsh School of Foreign Service, where I lead career development initiatives for 2,000+ students across eleven graduate programs. In addition to my core responsibilities, I play a central role in Georgetown's Pivot with Purpose initiative-an innovative program designed to help mid- and senior-level professionals explore what's next and align their careers with their values, strengths, and aspirations.

My TEDx talk on Questions to Ask Yourself During a Career Change, viewed by over 1.3 million people (!), and over the span of my coaching career, I have supported thousands of individuals —across industries and worldwide — in designing intentional, resilient careers, often in moments of transition or reinvention.
