No More Self-Abandonment. No More Shrinking.

"I've been a social worker for 20 years, coaching just made sense."

That's true. But it isn't the whole truth.

The whole truth is this: in two decades of sitting across from clients as a social worker and therapist, I watched women, especially Women of Color, sit in front of me carrying everything for everyone else: the family, the team, the community, the crisis of the week. And slowly, session by session, remember themselves. I watched women stop apologizing for taking up space. Stop performing strength and start actually feeling it. Go from surviving their lives to building ones that actually fit them.

I know this work works. I've seen it, session after session, for over 20 years as a social worker, and one who holds a Doctor of Human Services and an LCSW to prove I've studied exactly how it works.

But therapy has a ceiling.

There came a season in my own life where staying in one corner no longer felt like safety, it felt like a cage. Where "being the strong one" had quietly turned into being the invisible one. I had spent years teaching other women how to stop abandoning themselves, and somewhere in there, I realized I'd been doing it to myself too. I was my own hardest client.

So I stopped being a fly on the wall in my own story. And I built something new.

Purpose + Presence Coaching exists for the woman who is exhausted from proving how strong she is. The one who's always the first call and never makes one herself. The one who's confused her competence for her identity, because no one ever told her she was allowed to have both.

This isn't a career pivot. It's a calling made visible.

I don't coach from a textbook. I coach from having been the woman in the corner, and from twenty years of walking other women out of theirs. If you're in that season, where shrinking no longer suits you either, I'd be honored to walk it with you.
