Hello! Welcome to Breathing Room Life Coaching.

• My career arc: When I graduated from the University of Connecticut, I taught English to Chinese high school students in Shanghai for two years. I loved those students and wanted to stay in education after that. I moved back to Connecticut and started a five-year stint as a full-time consultant who advised high school students through their college application process. I’ve also coached seven seasons of basketball and was recently a high school varsity boys basketball head coach. Simply put: I’ve been there for people my whole life.

• WHY I CHOSE LIFE COACHING WORK: In the midst of that little resume I wrote above, I spent two years as a client in therapy. I learned first-hand how difficult it can be to honestly—like really fucking honestly—talk about yourself. At the same time, I see the value in speaking to a nonjudgmental, confidential listener who gives you a safe space to fully be yourself. I want to give you a place to pause and really get some clarity in your life. Your time on Earth is short, and I’m here to help you maximize that time.

• My training: I completed the Youth Coaching Institute’s life coaching program with knowledgeable instructors and cohort of coaches. It is an awesome and well-respected program, and I have used those same skills and coaching mindsets to coach adults from their early 20s to their 50s, and most prominently people in their 20s and 30s.

• My belief in you: The backgrounds, identities, and experiences you bring to our coaching sessions are valid. With your mind and body, you can do anything positive that you set your mind to. We’re going to work together to make your life better in whichever areas you find important.

You can book a time through this link if you’re ready for your Intake Session, where you’ll fill out your Life Satisfaction Survey beforehand. This session is free and a great way to see how life coaching can help you.
