Career Coaching for Women of Color
Studies have shown that, on average, women will only apply to a job if they think they are 100% qualified, whereas men will apply to a job if they fit 60% of the job description. Pardon my language, but that is total B.S.
Think about the opportunities you are missing while you are busy listening to your inner critic tell you that you’re not good enough.
Maybe deep down you know you’re extremely competent, but you lack confidence because you’re plagued by the imposter syndrome, self-doubt and your inner critic.
Maybe you’re wondering how your some of your colleagues seem to be doing so well at work when you know you’re just as if not more competent.
Maybe you know you need to promote yourself more (whether it’s to get a raise or promotion, or develop new clients) and you feel awkward touting your own accomplishments.
Maybe you’re wondering if you should apply for that promotion or that new job. (The answer is yes by the way)
Maybe you often think to yourself “uh oh, this time, they’re finally going to find out. I’m a fake, a fraud, an imposter. I don’t belong here.”
I’ve been there. I can help.
My clients report many of the following outcomes:
Deeper understanding of themselves, who they are, and what is theirs to do in the world.
Clearer sense of purpose and direction, and greater alignment with their values.
Improved capacity to notice their own self-limiting beliefs and interrupt their self-defeating behaviors.
Increased self-confidence, self-awareness and self-compassion.
Decreased stress/anxiety and improved capacity to communicate and act from a centered presence.
More empowered and greater sense of agency.
Increased capacity for joy and creativity.
Thoreau famously said “most men lead lives of quiet desperation.” You don’t have to be one of them.

I am an Experienced Coach and Practicing Lawyer
I help conventionally successful professionals design a life that’s true to them. The way we’ve been approaching career planning isn’t working. We’re asking fundamentally the wrong questions. The question isn’t “what should I do next.” It’s “who am I?” “what truly matters to me?” “what will I do with my one wild and precious life?”
I am an experienced coach and attorney based in Seattle with an expertise in supporting professionals in career their development. I offer 1-on-1 career and life coaching for women of color who feel that their imposter syndrome is holding them back in their career, but don’t know what to do about it. I partner with each of my clients to design a personalized coaching program that supports the development of greater internal coherence and cultivates long-term excellence. My coaching is evidence-based, grounded in philosophy, psychology and neuroscience, and my approach is compassionate, rigorous and practical.
As your coach, I am your partner, guide, advocate, cheerleader, and friend. With my expertise and experience, I help clients see what’s possible - a life filled with joy, passion, and meaning, guided by their North Star and supported by purposeful work.
