I’m certified as a Level II executive coach with the Center for Executive Coaching and I am also an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation (ICF). I’ve completed over 125 education hours, mentor coaching and passed the ACC exam to earn the ICF credential.  While there is no specific licensing around coaching, the ICF is the most widely recognized credential in the coaching profession.

Before coaching, I spent 20+ practicing intellectual property and entertainment law. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Rochester Institute of Technology and my Juris Doctorate from Emory University School of Law.  I am admitted to practice in Georgia and am a member in good standing.

Coaching is a one-on-one process focused entirely on you — your goals, your situation, and what’s getting in the way. Sessions are typically conducted virtually, and the work between sessions is just as important as the sessions themselves. Coaching isn’t consulting or therapy; I’m not here to tell you what to do or to help you process your past. I’m here to help you think more clearly, act more intentionally, and move forward.

The structure of our engagement depends on what you need. Some clients work with me on a specific challenge or transition over a defined period. Others want ongoing support as they navigate a longer arc of change or growth. We’ll figure out what makes sense for your situation before we agree on anything.

I meet clients wherever they are — no judgment, no agenda other than what’s most useful for you. My goal is to create a space where you can think out loud, sit with hard questions, and explore what’s really going on without feeling like you have to perform or have it all figured out.

At the same time, I’m not a passive listener. I’ll respectfully challenge you, push on assumptions you might not realize you’re making, and help you think about things you might not be thinking about. Clients have described my approach as intuitive and strategic, warm and empathetic.  I take that as exactly the balance I’m aiming for.

My legal background also shapes how I work. I think analytically, I ask precise questions, and I understand the professional world my clients come from. That context matters.

Coaching fees vary depending on the scope and length of the engagement. Because I tailor the work to each client’s specific situation rather than offering fixed packages, pricing is something we discuss directly once I have a sense of what you’re looking for.

The discovery call is the right place to have that conversation. There’s no obligation, and you’ll leave with a clear picture of what working together would look like and what it would cost.

The clients who get the most out of coaching come in with an open mindset. That doesn’t mean you have to have everything figured out or know exactly what you want.  What it does mean is having a willingness to consider things from a different perspective, to sit with questions that don’t have easy answers, and to be honest with yourself about what’s really going on.

Coaching works best when you’re ready to engage with the process, not just show up to sessions. If you’re looking for someone to hand you a plan or tell you what to do, coaching probably isn’t the right fit. But if you’re someone who wants to think more clearly, grow deliberately, and make decisions with more confidence — that’s exactly what this work is designed for.

If you’re not sure whether you’re ready, the discovery call is a good place to find out. We can talk through where you are and whether this is the right time.

Coaching, therapy, and consulting are three distinct things, and it’s worth understanding the differences.

Therapy is focused on healing.  It addresses psychological and emotional issues, often rooted in the past, and is conducted by licensed mental health professionals. Coaching is forward-focused. We’re not processing what happened to you; we’re working on where you’re going and what might be getting in the way.

Consulting is about expertise.  A consultant assesses your situation and tells you what to do. Coaching is about your thinking and your growth. I’m not here to hand you answers. I’m here to help you find them, stress-test them, and act on them with clarity. That said, my legal and in-house background does mean I bring real-world context to the work.  I understand the environments my clients are navigating, and that shapes how I ask questions and where I push.

If you’re dealing with a mental health issue, please seek support from a licensed therapist or counselor. Coaching is not a substitute for that. But if you’re a high-functioning professional looking to grow, transition, or lead more effectively, coaching is built for exactly that.
