I didn't find my way through by working harder. I found it by getting honest about what I actually wanted.
​
For over two decades I operated at the intersection of tech and leadership, navigating career climbs and pivots, managing teams and deadlines and the invisible weight of always being the one who holds things together. I know what it means to perform at a high level for a very long time. And I know the particular exhaustion that comes with it.
​
I also know what happens when the structure falls away. Post-divorce, in a foreign country, with no safety net and no script, I had to figure out who I was when I wasn't defined by my role, my relationship, or my output. That experience didn't break me. But it did dismantle everything I thought I knew about how to move forward.
​
What I built in its place wasn't a better strategy. It was a clearer sense of self. And that changed everything: how I worked, how I made decisions, how I stopped mistaking motion for progress.
​
My coaching isn't just a framework I learned in a classroom. It's a way of working I developed through my own transitions and refined through years of sitting with others in the middle of theirs. I work with people facing the crossroads that don't come with obvious answers: the career that no longer fits, the house that's suddenly quiet, the version of success that looks right from the outside and feels hollow from the inside.
​
We don't just get through the transition. We use it to get clearer, more grounded, and more deliberately you than you've been in years.
My background
​This is what my own journey would look like in one picture.
​
I grew up moving. Born outside Paris, I spent my childhood across French overseas territories and mainland cities before completing my education in France. Seven years in Finland followed, then a transatlantic move to the Pacific Northwest, where I consolidated a career, raised a kid, and put down the kind of roots that take decades to grow.​
For over 30 years I worked in leadership roles in high tech that taught me how to think strategically, move fast, and perform under pressure. What those years didn't teach me was how to stop.​
The transitions that shaped me most weren't the professional ones. Moves. Divorce. An empty nest. The particular silence of a house that used to be full. Each one forced a reckoning with who I was outside of the roles I'd been playing — and none of them came with a roadmap.​
That's why I do this work. Not because I have a tidy story with a clean ending, but because I've been genuinely lost and found my way back to something more intentional, more honest, and entirely my own.​When I'm not coaching, you'll find me walking by the water or deep in a French baking project. Some things you carry with you wherever you go.​​​
This practice is open and welcoming to everyone regardless of gender, background, identity, belief, ability, or where you come from. If you're at a crossroads and ready to do the work, you belong here.​
