  • You’ve lost (or temporarily misplaced) your spark

  • The strategies that once built your success feel hollow

  • Clarity feels harder to access

This isn’t a motivation problem. You aren’t broken. You don’t need more therapy.

It’s an identity shift.

I help ambitious women navigate pivotal moments of change so they can reconnect to direction, rebuild trust in themselves, and move forward with clarity and practical steps.

You’ve always been capable. Focused. Purposeful.
But now something feels off…

Real fulfillment doesn’t come from grinding harder
it comes from alignment.

This isn’t theory—it’s lived experience.

I’ve been through burnout, loss, pivots, and reinventions more times than I can count. Fear, stuck-ness, and self-doubt don’t mean you’re off track. They’re signals that the old way no longer fits and something new is trying to emerge.

Real Clients, Real Shifts

Change doesn’t always arrive as a dumpster fire.

Sometimes it’s just a quiet knowing that what once built your success doesn’t quite fit anymore.

That’s the space I work in—the in-between. When the old strategies stop working and what’s next isn’t fully formed. I help you find direction and reorganize around what’s true now.
