Clients have worked with me when they're:

Standing at the edge of a major life or professional transition

A warm, judgment-free space where your cultural identity, family dynamics, and personal dreams can all have a voice
Deep, empathetic listening that helps you uncover insights hidden beneath the surface
A coach who understands the nuances of navigating multiple worlds as a first-generation South Asian
Support in transforming self-doubt into unshakeable confidence

30-Minute Free Consult

We’ll co-create an agenda and this space for you. What vision, goal, or outcome do you want to focus on? What does an ideal outcome look like for you during our time together? What’s important to you about this outcome?

First Session

This is where the bulk of our time together will be. Together, we’ll explore your vision and start to unpack its elements. What’s getting in the way of achieving that vision? What is possible for you if you say YES? What do you need to say NO to?

3-8 Sessions

In our final session, we’ll intentionally reflect on your journey. Reflection is a critical part of maintaining and sustaining ongoing growth.

Journey to Coaching

As a first-generation South Asian American, I understand what it means to navigate multiple worlds, to balance cultural expectations with personal dreams, and to find your authentic voice in spaces where you might feel caught between identities.

I started out my professional journey as a teacher for elementary students. Hoping for more financial stability, I earned a M.S. in tax accounting at the University of Notre Dame and entered the workforce as a tax consultant. After a large layoff and feeling misaligned with what I could offer, I gravitated back to my roots as a teacher through leadership training and facilitation. To take a step further into alignment with my own values and vision to be of service in the world, I became a trained coach through the Co-Active Institute.

Paint the Path

Transitions – both personally and professionally - have been a constant in my life, as well as the pauses and fears that are often trailing right behind:

What if this isn’t the right move? Will this financially support me? Is this in line with my values? How do I explain this to my family? Is this in the right direction of my overall purpose, or a stepping stone towards something bigger?

Like many children of immigrants, I learned to bridge different ways of seeing the world, finding strength in this complexity rather than letting it become a limitation. This perspective enriches how I hold space for others as a coach, especially those wrestling with questions of identity, purpose, and belonging.

What sets our work apart is the safe, nurturing environment we'll create together. This isn't just about setting goals or making action plans (though we'll do that, too!) – it's about diving deeper into what truly matters to you. We'll explore your challenges, help you align your choices with your values, and honor the cultural threads that make you who you are.

Common Questions

What is the difference between a coach, a mentor, and a consultant?

A coach is an expert in the coaching process. Their goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to clarify your goals and explore creative solutions. A coach keeps you accountable to the goals you've set and motivates you when you need it.

A mentor offers guidance and wisdom, while a consultant offers advice and possible solutions. With a coach, you are the subject matter expert.

What do we talk about?

In a coaching session, we explore topics that feel most relevant and important to you in the moment—whether it's a long-term goal, an impulse for change, or a challenge you're facing. These topics can be specific, like finding a new career path, or more subtle, like feeling stuck without knowing why.

There’s no right or wrong topic—coaching is about discovery, insight, and action.

The key is that they are authentic to you, motivated by a desire for change, and aligned with your values. We dive into exploration, uncovering insights and actionable steps, and there's always something valuable to discuss, no matter how small the topic may seem.

Do you offer sliding scale pricing?

Yes. Coaching is designed to be accessible, regardless of your economic state. Review the package options, and let's chat for more information.

How do I know if I need a coach?

As a starting point, reflect on these questions. If any spark curiosity, more questions, or emotional reactions, working with a coach can help.

Am I uneasy about a current life or professional transition?
How do I navigate cultural expectations while pursuing my personal dreams?
Do I feel disconnected from my sense of purpose?
Is there a gap between where I am and where I want to be?
How can I find clarity in decision-making while honoring my values and heritage?
How do I turn my potential into behaviors I am proud of?

How long is a session, and where do they take place?

Most sessions are 60 minutes and take place virtually over Zoom or phone call.
