I believe lasting change begins with self-compassion, clarity, and small steps that honor what matters most. I believe lasting change honors the whole person, not just physical health but mental, social, emotional, and spiritual aspects of life.

After navigating my own seasons of stress, illness, and transformation, I witnessed firsthand how easy it is to lose yourself in the pace of life. That's why I became a Health and Well-Being Coach: to partner with people who are ready to reclaim their sense of agency, reconnect with their strengths, and create sustainable change. One meaningful step at a time.

My Training and Approach

I am a Duke Health Certified Health and Well-Being Coach and a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC). Combined with my BS in Business and Marketing, my coaching approach is based on theories in psychology and neuroscience, to the fields of communication and leadership. Theories, Models and Approaches I have studied and applied to coaching:

Neuroplasticity, including basics of healthy habit formation

Transtheoretical Model (Theories of Change)

Motivational Interviewing

Goal Setting Theories and Approaches

Self Efficacy Theory (Social Cognitive Theory, Social Learning Theory)

Self Determination Theory

Growth vs Fixed Mindset

Positive Psychology

Appreciative Inquiry

What does that mean for you?
It means I offer a client-centered, strengths-based partnership honoring your expertise in your own life, while bringing evidence-based tools to support your goals. I understand that health is more than the absence of illness. True well-being is shaped by your values, relationships, mindset, environment, and sense of purpose.

I support clients in developing and achieving self-determined goals that align with their values, leverage their strengths, and foster lasting, meaningful well-being without judgment, pressure, or “one-size-fits-all” solutions.

What I believe about change:

• You are the expert in your own life.

• Your values are the foundation for meaningful and lasting change.

• Small steps, aligned with your deepest values, create powerful momentum.

• Self-compassion, not self-criticism, is the catalyst for sustainable growth.

• Your vision for well-being matters, and it's absolutely achievable.

• You have everything you need within you to be the best you!
