Authentically Yours Leadership Coaching in Maine

You don’t have to change who you are to be a great leader. Whether you’re struggling with self-doubt, navigating a challenging workplace, or stepping into leadership for the first time—I’m here to help you build confidence, set boundaries, and develop a leadership style that feels natural and sustainable. The best way to lead is by being yourself.

Career Coach in Maine

Success begins when

you own your story.

As individual leaders, we face unique challenges in the workplace and our everyday lives. Imposter syndrome, workplace biases, and the pressure to prove yourself can make it hard to lead with confidence. Add in the complexities of managing multigenerational teams and navigating high-pressure environments, and the journey can feel overwhelming.

That’s where I come in. My coaching helps leaders own their stories, break past limitations, and lead authentically. Together, we’ll tackle self-doubt, workplace dynamics, and the unique challenges leaders face—so you can lead with confidence, impact, and success on your own terms.

About

I know what it feels like to question if you’re ‘enough’—but I also know you are.

Maine Career Coach
Personal growth and career mentorship coach

I’ve been in your shoes—navigating self-doubt, balancing career and family, and feeling the pressure to lead a certain way. I began my journey as a nurse, which then evolved into 15 years of leadership, including serving as a Chief Nursing Officer, on the Board of Directors for the Emergency Nurses Association for six years, culminating in my role as the 2022 ENA President, and now in my role as Chief Clinical Officer. Throughout my career, I’ve led teams through challenges, advocated for change, and mentored others to find their leadership voice.

I started Authentically Yours to help leaders like you step into confidence, align your values with your actions, and let go of who you think you should be.

When I’m not coaching or advocating for leaders, you can find me surrounded by my big, blended family of five kids, three cats, two dogs, and a horse. I love gardening, yoga, walking and anything that involves fresh notebooks and new pens (yes, I’m a proud school supply nerd!).

Wherever you are on your leadership journey, I’m here to support, encourage, and challenge you in a way that feels meaningful and practical. Let’s discover what being Authentically Yours means to you.
