Meet Paula

Ambitious, driven, successful, responsible, giving, devoted, resilient, determined.

If these are the kinds of words the people in your life would use to describe you as a person, chances are YOU would probably describe yourself as:

Overwhelmed, overworked, inadequate, stressed.

Navigating Ambition with Ease and Intention

Because when you're a highly ambitious person, sometimes it feels like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. 
And you want to figure out how you can deal with that so that you can keep forging forward. To make more conscious choices as you navigate those often competing responsibilities so that you can intentionally direct your energy towards what matters most.

This might just be the story of your life, but it’s also the tale of mine.

The defining difference is how we choose to write the next chapter.

Reclaim Your Energy, Refocus Your Path

Take our Energy Audit today so that you can learn what is inadvertently moving you further away from your vision and help to re-center your focus on what really matters so that you can create more space and time for the things that YOU want.

A Career of Success, A Life of Impact

With 40+ years in professional services — spanning Financial Services, Non-Profit, and Big 4 firms — I’ve led in high-pressure roles across Audit, Consulting, Strategy, Operations, and Risk. I reached the so-called pinnacle of my career, yet I knew I was here to have a greater impact.

I’ve navigated a demanding career while raising a family solo and caring for my aging parents — I understand the juggle. Now, I coach ambitious professionals ready to take charge of their careers and lives, whether seeking clarity, growth, or a bold next step.

Blending my corporate expertise with Life and Leadership Coaching, I listen — I walk the journey with you. 

As your Coach and Thinking Partner, I’ll help you navigate through and beyond your challenges, make empowered choices, and build a career and life where you feel truly valued.

I can’t wait to see you thrive.

The Right Support Changes Everything

I understand the challenges of having big goals and big desires for your life and needing to manage those goals and desires around other aspects of your life.

I also know that with the right support, it’s possible to walk through and beyond these challenges. 

Certified through iPEC, a world-class professional coach training program accredited by the International Coaching Federation, I wield the training, knowledge, skills, and self-empowerment to help you unlock the untapped potential within so that you can make the bold moves you dream of – without burning out in the process.

Own Your Path, Shape Your Future.

I’m here to create a space of non-judgment, maybe the first you’ve ever truly experienced in your life.

I'm here to help you STOP living life by default and instead start to consciously create a life of your own design.

And I'm here to get to the bottom of why your life feels so uncomfortable and what needs to change for you to unleash what you really want out of life.

If you feel like you've only just scratched the surface of your potential, and you're ready to explore the full depth of what you can accomplish in this world, check out the options for working with me.

  •  “Because Paula has "lived it" herself - the high powered job, the corporate professional success while raising two well-rounded humans at the same time, she has credibility in my view, and her strong sense of trust and integrity as well. All were key reasons why her coaching ‘stuck’ with me. Now, I definitely have more purpose, and a more purposeful pep in my step - but in a more balanced way that still does right by all my various stakeholders - including myself!

    Considering Paula’s coaching services? Jump in. Don't wait. You will be surprised at how much you will gain. You will have to do the work - of course. But it's so much easier with a Coach. Don't regret not doing this sooner.”

    Allison R., Director, PwC US

  • “I found myself in a period of significant change and the 'messy middle’, as Paula likes to say. I took a leap in reaching out to Paula for career guidance, but through our relationship, I've gained so much more than that.

    Paula is a true supporter of people, especially women, and committed to helping her clients live their truest and most beautiful lives both with intention and without regret. I am forever grateful for her and the work we've done together and am certain that it will continue to inspire me to take leaps even when I don't feel ready.”

    Lauren, Director, US Government agency

  • “Working with Paula, I regained my confidence to make a bold career change; feeling empowered and knowing that I could be successful in a bigger role that put me on the path I was seeking. I realized that growth comes from being uncomfortable - complacency was not serving me.

    I was able to step into a new role that I love where I am able to be a strategic leader with a path to promotion. The program that Paula used made it fluid and easy - it took me on a personal and professional journey that allowed me to pause and reflect. Paula provided insight, encouragement and guidance throughout our coaching relationship.”

    Rachel, Executive Director, Financial Services firm

  • “Paula is a powerful coach. She partnered with me during a pivotal transition in my career and helped me gain clarity, take action and held me accountable. Her ability to listen deeply is evident in every session and I truly value my experience working with her.”

    Carolyn, Marketing Engagement Strategy lead

  • “Paula asked thought provoking questions to really understand what I was looking for and how I was evaluating changes I was looking to make. Paula is one of the very few people I can be completely honest with at the firm without feeling judged or defined in a certain way.

    Paula has a calming, thoughtful, logical way of helping talk through various scenarios and that always calms me down, reduces the anxiety and puts me in a place where I feel more in control of my future. Paula is thoughtful and really listens to people. She asks calming, thought provoking questions and gets people to really think about the reason they are seeking her coaching. She always makes time as well, no matter how busy she is, when you need time with her and she inspires you to be your best.”
