My approach
A supportive, non-judgmental space to explore your inner world.
Coaching is a process of self-discovery.
My approach to coaching is rooted in positive mindfulness and the belief that abilities and psychological experience can affect your overall self-perception and vision of the world.
I work collaboratively with my clients to help them identify their strengths, overcome limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies for achieving their goals. I believe that coaching is a process of self-discovery, and I am committed to providing a supportive and non-judgmental safe space for my clients to explore their inner world.
The stages of growth
Every season of your life is a stage of growth.
My Growth Lessons is represented by a tree. The roots, the trunk, the branches and the leaves each resemble a different stage, and we work through them together.
Trunk
Resilience and self-belief: the strength to stand through challenges without losing yourself.
Branches
Goals and new directions. Reaching toward what you want next, with a plan to get there.
Leaves
The seasons. Letting go of the old to make room for the new.
“The seasons take away the old and bring in the new. Join me in fostering your growth and learning how to understand each stage of growth and their seasons in your life.”

About me
“Education is one thing that can never be taken away from you.”
As the founder and creator of My Growth Lessons, my mission is to empower and inspire individuals to embrace a growth mindset and overcome imposter syndrome. As a coach and consultant, I am dedicated to helping my clients live lives that are authentic, fulfilling, and aligned with their core values. By fostering resilience and self-belief, I will support you in transforming obstacles into opportunities for personal growth and positive change. Together we will unlock your potential and create a path toward a more empowered and purpose-driven life.
My journey toward becoming a coach was deeply influenced by my upbringing. As the daughter of a retired U.S. Army soldier, I was inspired to work hard, stay motivated, and make a difference. My father’s advice, “Education is one thing that can never be taken away from you,” ignited my love for learning and my dedication to making a difference in my community.
I coach individuals on growth mindset and overcoming imposter syndrome, drawing on over a decade of research and coaching experience with young adults and professionals.
Following my father’s guidance, I pursued higher education with a focus on leadership and social justice. I hold a Master’s degree in Leadership with a concentration in Social Justice and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership, both from Saint Mary’s College of California, Moraga.
My dedication to educating future leaders is evident in my volunteer work, teaching multiple Junior Achievement series to middle school students. My insights on leadership have been published in Hallmark’s book, She’s Graduating, an inspirational guide for high school and college graduates. I have also authored curriculum and a how-to guide focusing on leadership challenges, goal setting, personal growth, and positive self-talk.
My aim is to support my clients in building resilience, unlocking their potential, and living a life that is true to their values and aspirations. I look forward to working with you.
