Free eBook: The Ambitious Professional’s Playbook
Are you feeling stuck? Struggling to get started on achieving your goals? This free resource features five simple steps to create clarity and momentum and empower you to get moving.
I work with ambitious professionals who look successful on paper but feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure of what’s next.
Who I Help
You might be:
Navigating a career transition you know you need to make, but can’t seem to start
Leading a team while privately questioning whether you’re in the right role… or the right field
Sensing it’s time for a change, but stuck between staying the course and making a move
Stepping into an expanded leadership role and wanting a thought partner as you grow into it
Caught in patterns you can see but can’t break: overwork, people-pleasing, or letting self-doubt quietly run the show
What my clients share is a sense that the next chapter won’t come from working harder. It’ll come from working differently.
How Coaching Works
Clarity. Momentum. Growth. Here’s how we’ll work together:
We start with what’s real. Our first conversation is a free discovery call. No scripts, no sales pitch. You share what’s going on, and together decide whether coaching is the right fit.
We go beneath the surface. Most of my clients don’t just need a plan. They need to understand the patterns, beliefs that keep them stuck. That’s where the real work happens.
I won’t just ask questions. I’ll challenge your assumptions, name what I see, and offer perspective grounded in real experience. Not just theory. When direct input will help you, I lean in.
You leave with more than insight. Every session connects back to action. We translate what we uncover into concrete steps so that clarity becomes momentum, not just awareness.

— Stacey D.Why I Do This Work
I’ve been there: bringing my A-game to the office every day, grinding day in and day out, only to come home and feel less than stellar. My inner critic would discredit my hard work, saying that in order to actually make an impact, to keep advancing in my career, I would have to raise the bar higher and higher. Work longer hours. Take on more (and more) projects. Until one day, I was completely burnt out - barely able to bring myself to work, let alone my best self.
Working with a coach, we unpacked how (and why) I felt so detached from my work. I discovered that I held a powerful belief: that meaning and purpose would follow from my hard work and accomplishments. Yet through working hard, accomplishments had come, in the form of exceeding KPIs and receiving promotions and raises - but here I was, unfulfilled. I wasn’t aware of how powerful this belief was, running in the background, so I doubled and tripled down, assuming that by pushing myself even harder, I would get to a place of fulfillment.
Coaching not only brought this belief into the foreground, but it also helped me realize its backward logic. I lacked a sense of meaning, a “why” I was doing what I was doing professionally, which led to my career feeling like running on a hamster wheel… until my legs finally gave out from under me. I thought I had reached a breaking point, but coaching showed me it was actually a jumping-off point, an invitation to create a new vision for the future. One in which meaning is the source of motivation, not the product of it.
My first-hand experience with coaching revealed its transformative power. How we we each have the capacity to transcend difficult circumstances. That by consciously looking inwards, asking and answering tough questions, we can challenge the thoughts, beliefs, and patterns that speak to where we are, and develop new ones that serve us in getting to where we want to be. It’s hard work, but for those of us who will stop at nothing to make the most of our careers and lives, it’s work that’s worth doing.
Through coaching, I received the gift of this insight, and now I’m paying it forward.
Book an Introductory Session
Working together starts with a no-cost, no-obligation introductory discovery call. On this call, you will share some details about your challenges and goals, and I’ll some of the fundamental details about working together. From there, I can address any questions you may have about me, my coaching approach, or coaching more generally.
Over the course of 30 or 45 minutes, our shared objective is to discover whether there is a fit between us, and from there, align on the specifics around how to make the most of our partnership.
