Career Coaching for Women of Color

Clarity. Empowerment. Action.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
— Marianne Williamson

You are powerful beyond measure.

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. I’ve personally heard from men that they applied to something they knew they were not qualified for but they told themselves they would figure it out if they got hired for that role.

How many times have you beaten yourself up because you listened to your inner critic / that little voice of doubt and didn’t apply for that promotion/job, only to discover that someone objectively less qualified got that promotion/job? Are you beating yourself up right now just recalling that? Do any of the below sound familiar?

  • 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. (This is such a common phenomenon amongst my clients (especially women of color) that I’ve published a resource on it! Definitely download it below!)

  • 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. (Psst, they’re probably just faking it!)

  • 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’ve been told in the past that you’re too aggressive, too outspoken, too much.

My Approach

You’re here to tell you that you’re not too much, that you’re enough, and that your voice matters. How often in life do we come across someone who is wholly committed to helping us cultivate our own flourishing, where they have no agenda other than to help us advance towards our goals, and where we’re not being evaluated, assessed, or judged, but simply held? And how often do we have a space that’s dedicated to us, where we feel deeply seen, where all of us is welcome, and where we can be completely and utterly ourselves?

That’s what I do.

What I do for my clients is simple: I hold up a mirror so that you can see yourself in a different light, feel your own power, and cultivate authentic confidence.

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 have been mentoring, coaching and empowering women of color for nearly two decades. I’ve seen first-hand how women (particularly women of color) undersell themselves while their colleagues go loudly touting even the mildest of achievements. My goal here is simple: empower women of color to feel how truly powerful they are. When you can feel it to your core, there is no going back to underselling yourself.

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.
