About Me

I believe we all deserve someone to accompany us through life’s pivotal transitions. As a career counselor, consultant, and doula, I will walk alongside you and your organization as you step across the threshold into a new way of being - a new career, a new era of your organization, a new identity as mother or parent. I take a holistic, strengths-based approach to guiding transformation for individuals and organizations, helping them navigate uncertainty, clarify their unique gifts, and develop the skills needed to fully express their potential. Whether facilitating clarity for individuals during life transitions or partnering with nonprofits and universities, I meet clients where they are and collaborate to create meaningful change. 

 

I have an MS in Counseling (San Francisco State University), and am a nationally certified Career Counselor (NCDA) and trained as a full-spectrum doula (The Circle Family Center). With my holistic mental health training as a counselor and doula, coupled with over 10 years of experience in higher education, nonprofit management, program and curriculum design, and workforce development, I offer a unique set of skills that empowers clients to embrace transformation with confidence and intention.

During my time working with Emily I not only found my new beginning, I became me again. Emily and I first started by unpacking my background, in terms of my educational goals and career goals. But it didn’t stop there. Emily asked me how I was really doing. She prioritized my education and pushed me to reach my goals, and that was exactly what I did! While working with Emily, I realized I deserve to belong and succeed despite my fears. I can now truly say that I have clarity about my career goals, and I feel confident in my next steps and ability to tackle new challenges in order to achieve my goals!
