My Journey

I’ve coached students through moments of self-doubt, guided parents navigating major life transitions, and collaborated with teachers to adapt strategies that truly met learners’ needs.

Whether teaching in Seattle, California, or Hangzhou, or serving as Head of Development and Coaching at The Airplane Spoon, my mission has always been clear – to empower people to grow with clarity, confidence, and intention.

Today, as a coach, I bring this deep foundation in education to every session. I believe parents and youth thrive when they feel supported to discover their strengths and build lives aligned with what matters most.

Why I Coach

I know what it feels like to want the best for your children while wondering if you’re doing enough.

I’ve seen the power of small, intentional changes to transform:

• Overwhelm into calm

• Confusion into clarity

• Self-doubt into confidence
  
  

That’s why I created Empowering Growth – to walk alongside you, helping you find your strengths, create connection, and move forward with purpose.

My Approach

Empowering Growth is not about giving you answers. It’s about partnering with you to:

+ Create a safe, non-judgmental space for reflection and discovery
+ Focus on your strengths to build momentum and confidence
+ Align actions with your values so you can parent with clarity and intention
+ Use practical, contextual tools tailored to your real-life challenges
+ Reframe challenges as opportunities for learning and growth
+ Plan for the future with small, meaningful steps
+ Communicate with openness to deepen relationships at home

The Heart of My Work

My coaching balances support and challenge, helping you embrace who you are and who you are becoming – so you can lead your family with joy, resilience, and confidence.
