Hi! I wanted to introduce myself a little more and chat about how I came to coaching. Because coaching is a partnership, I find it valuable to introduce some of my personal self as well.

I was born in California and moved to Oregon for college. I went to Portland State University and got my Bachelor of Arts degree in Child and Family studies. During college and after graduating, I explored multiple different career paths including Social Work, Nursing, CNA, and currently work on the Administrative Side of a healthcare clinic.

Settled in my current career, I wasn’t looking for a change. One day, I picked up the Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins and my perspective on life changed. She had Martha Beck as a podcast guest, and I was instantly captivated by her story and methodologies. I was listening to one of Martha Beck’s podcasts and was introduced to Life Coaching. It wasn’t until it was mentioned again a handful of podcast episodes later until it clicked for me - this is my next calling.

I spent months researching the career field, the governing bodies, the process of becoming a coach, and having Information Calls with various ICF-credentialed programs. The more a learned about coaching, the more interested and I got, and the more I was sure this was the next goal I needed to chase.

I am currently enrolled in a Life Coaching Program through the Institute for Coaching Excellence (ICFE) and am working towards getting my Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential. This is a credential thought the International Coaching Federation (ICF) that is earned through following vigorous schooling, peer coaching, mentoring with a certified ICF coach, testing, and practicing in accordance with their Code of Ethics and Core Competencies. I am thrilled to be enrolled in this program and to be learning and perfecting my coaching skills each day.

I live with my spouse and our various pets in Oregon. Outside of coaching and my job as an Office Manager, I enjoy spending time with them and our family and friends. I love crafting and exploring multiple hobbies, listening to podcasts, and watching dramatic reality TV shows.

I’d love to have a free Introductory Call to explore your goals and have a conversation about what I do in my life coaching practice. If you’d like to contact me without scheduling, you can fill out my contact form and I’ll be in touch!
