My journey toward coaching began with a strong desire to help people in any capacity, and in many ways, my previous endeavors reflected this idea – a Masters degree in Counseling & Development, a strenuous role at a detox center, and a long-time position as a high school counselor. While these achievements greatly shaped who I am and what I love to do, I still felt that there was something I wasn’t getting, something I wasn’t hearing as it lingered in the back of my mind.

After a lot of self-reflection (and a revelating solo trip to Italy), I came to the realization that I needed to shift my mindset and focus more on helping women. As a proud mother of two fantastic boys (now men) and a background where males were the focal point of my support, I desired a stronger connection with a woman’s role in society – something I often felt I hadn’t given enough thought to.

From childhood to now, my path came with many twists and turns, but my ability to keep marching on through adversity is something I’ve always taken great pride in. Through this, I discovered an invaluable quality within myself - which I consider to be GRIT. As I reflected on my past and perseverance, I realized I wanted to help women achieve their own potential. Our voices have not always been heard or respected, and my goal is to help those like myself find that strength, courage, and grit to keep on keeping on. Every woman deserves to feel like they belong - and sometimes it takes extra support to make it a reality.

So why did I begin CreateAction Coaching? Because creating action isn’t always easy to do alone. As your coach, I am here to support and guide you through this journey of self-discovery and growth, so you can feel like you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be.
