Running a Business Shouldn’t Feel So Overwhelming
I started my first company in 2002 as a QuickBooks consultant, working part-time from home while raising two kids. I grew that business to six figures, sold it to a trusted team member, and started again from scratch.
That journey taught me that success is not just about skill. It’s about courage, clarity, and the right kind of support.
From Feeling Stuck to Moving with Clarity
I know what it’s like to wear every hat in your business and wonder if you’re doing any of it right. I’ve worked with coaches for many years, so I understand the value of a guide.
I've supported hundreds of service-based business owners who felt stuck, stretched thin, or unsure how to grow. What they needed wasn’t more noise. They needed a clear path and a trusted guide.
That’s what I offer: honest, helpful guidance in a safe place, so you can move your business forward without sacrificing your peace of mind.
What I Bring
I've Been in Your Shoes
I’ve been an entrepreneur since 2002, so I know the long hours, the big decisions, and how heavy it can feel to carry a whole business on your own. I also know how good it feels when the pieces start to come together. I help business owners get there with a clear plan and support from someone who understands the journey.
Grow as a Leader
I’ve spent over 25 years in corporate leadership, shaping company policies, building culture, and managing employees. I know what helps people do their best work. I also know leadership starts with you. I help business owners learn to lead themselves, their business, and other people with confidence.
Build Systems That Work
Systems are where I’ve spent most of my career. Many entrepreneurs are full of ideas and short on structure. I help business owners put simple, clear systems in place so they know how things get done efficiently and what to focus on next.
Know Your Numbers
I have a degree in Business Finance and I’m a Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor, with a deep understanding of accounting and financial reporting. I help business owners use their numbers to make informed business decisions.
Author and Speaker
I wrote Grow a Pair of Antlers: The Fearless Climb to Lead Your Herd, and I enjoy speaking about creating a more rewarding and impactful life through intentional purpose, courageous actions, and influential leadership.
Always Learning
I’m a Certified Networker (BNI), a Certified WomanSpeak Speaker, a Certified Digital Marketing Professional (DMI), and hold the PCM® in Digital Marketing (AMA). My training also includes the Business Made Simple Coach program, High Performance Coach training, and small business consultant training.

I’m Not Just a Business Coach, I’m a Climber Too
I’ve grown businesses while raising children, navigating caregiving, and leading through hard seasons.
I know how hard it is to keep climbing when the path feels unclear.
That’s why my coaching is grounded in compassion as much as strategy..
You won’t get fluff and you won’t get judgment. You'll get honest support and clarity to help you take the next step with confidence.
