Founded in 2021, Dwell in Possibility® is the culmination of my passions for leadership, coaching, and writing. I work with current and emerging purpose-driven leaders who are ready to step into their full potential with confidence, clarity, and impact. Through coaching, we navigate challenges, strengthen resilience, and cultivate leadership habits that foster long-term success and meaningful change. My approach is designed to help you lead with authenticity, energy, and a renewed sense of possibility.

Leadership can be lonely, overwhelming, and exhausting—especially for those navigating high-stakes decisions, competing priorities, and personal histories that shape how they lead. Many are balancing not just their careers but also the invisible load of caregiving, parenting, chronic illness, or life transitions—all while striving to make an impact. But leadership can also be deeply rewarding; when approached with intention, it is a pathway to personal growth, meaning, and connection. By understanding ourselves as leaders, we can identify patterns, explore new ways of being and responding, and develop the resilience and clarity needed to lead with purpose and authenticity.

Why Work With Me?

As a seasoned executive leader and a certified coach, I bring a wealth of experience and a unique blend of skills to our coaching partnership.

Leadership is complex and deeply personal. It requires resilience, self-trust, and the ability to navigate high-pressure situations while balancing the demands of work and life. My coaching integrates research-backed insights from neuroscience, leadership psychology, and adult development theory to help leaders strengthen confidence, adaptability, and decision-making.

I also draw on mindfulness-based stress reduction, somatic awareness, and systems thinking to cultivate presence, emotional intelligence, and the ability to navigate complexity with clarity and composure. Through a strengths-based and growth-oriented approach, I help leaders harness their unique abilities, break through internal and external barriers, and develop sustainable leadership habits that support both their wellbeing and impact.

This holistic approach ensures that leaders not only succeed in their roles but also feel energized, aligned, and empowered in their leadership journey.

What I Offer
  • Strengths-Based Leadership: Leverage your unique strengths to lead with confidence, authenticity, and impact.
  • Leadership Growth and Strategy: Navigate complex decisions, manage teams effectively, and lead with strategic clarity.

My Coaching Philosophy

I believe that every leader has the capacity to thrive. Yet, the demands of modern leadership—balancing strategic decisions, complex relationships, and personal growth—often require external support to navigate effectively. My coaching philosophy is built on partnership, deep listening, and curiosity. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, develop resilience, and cultivate the clarity and confidence needed to lead with purpose.

Coaching is not about fixing what’s broken—it’s about expanding what’s possible. I create a reflective, judgment-free space where you can explore challenges with honesty, break through self-imposed limitations, and reconnect with your values. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, ensuring that our work is both strategic and deeply personal. Through our partnership, you’ll build the self-trust, adaptability, and sustainable habits needed to lead with impact while staying true to yourself.
