About me

Navigating Life's Turning Points with Clarity and Courage

Life has a way of surprising us with moments that change everything—divorce, retirement, an empty nest, or sudden loss. These transitions can feel overwhelming, yet they also carry the potential for growth, clarity, and new beginnings.

At KJSD Coaching, I guide individuals through these pivotal chapters with compassion, strategy, and empowerment. My trauma-informed approach blends emotional intelligence with practical tools—whether it’s reclaiming self-worth after divorce, discovering purpose in retirement, or redefining identity in the wake of unexpected change.

I believe transitions aren’t just endings; they’re invitations to rewrite your story. Through 1:1 coaching, workshops, and actionable resources, I help clients move from uncertainty to confidence, from disruption to alignment. If you’re facing a transition that feels bigger than you, let’s connect.

Together, we’ll turn the page with clarity, courage, and confidence!

Professionalism and Experience

Professionalism & Experience

At KJSD Coaching, professionalism means more than organization and efficiency—it’s about creating a safe, empowering space where clients feel seen, supported, and equipped to move forward. I bring a trauma-informed lens to every interaction, ensuring that compassion and clarity guide the process as much as strategy and structure.

I am a DCA Certified Divorce Coach and trained with the Institute of Coaching Mastery, credentials that reflect my commitment to excellence and ongoing professional development. This education strengthens my ability to support clients through complex transitions with both empathy and proven methodology. Life experience is also an incredible teacher!

Frequently Asked Questions

Please contact me if you cannot find an answer to your question.

How does coaching work?

Coaching is an interactive experience where we discover your interests, goals and values and use those to help you travel through life, divorce, or whatever you are experiencing and transforming those as catalysts to bring you into the life you want.

Is it confidential?

100%! What happens in our sessions stays in our sessions (with signed confidentiality agreement). A safe space is everything.

How long does it typically take to see results?

The time that your coaching process will take depends on the complexity of your situation, your goals and your commitment and openness to your process. You can choose from a 3- month or 6-month package. I offer a special clarity session as an introduction to coaching.
