I’m passionate about helping you thrive
Meet Abbie
My favorite part of each day during my years as a career counselor and college advisor was the one-on-one meetings surrounding life and career with my clients. I was so passionate about supporting individuals on their career journey, and using my skills and knowledge in pursuit of their goals, that I decided to start my own coaching practice. Completing certifications in career development facilitation, career coaching, and life coaching rounded out my experience to provide holistic coaching through life and career transitions. Since starting I have worked with teachers, medical and helping professionals, retirees, young adults navigating the waters of a new career, and more, and I really look forward to working with you!

I have seen friends, family, and clients navigate career challenges and the impact those challenges have on their life. Sometimes there is a disconnect between their career values and their current job. Other times life transitions make the next step seem insurmountable. Even more often the demands of their profession have become unsustainable for their quality of life. Desiring to come alongside individuals in their pursuit of a better life has led to me developing an approach of personalized coaching, career toolkit building, and collaborative goal-setting.
My Approach
Collaborative Goal-Setting
Coaching is a collaborative process. The goals you bring to the table, or that we develop together, will become actionable. My goal is to come alongside you on your journey to reach the goals you set out to achieve.
Toolkit Building
Your toolkit could involve a resume, cover letter, and interview skills, or it could include a better understanding of your values, confidence in your skills, and clear next steps. Whatever best suits you, we can build it together!
Personalized Coaching
I am dedicated to providing coaching one-on-one or in small groups and personalizing sessions with your goals, challenges, and needs in mind. This is about you as a person, not selling you one-size-fits-all guides and products.
