Helping You Create A Life that Aligns with Your Values and Passions

Every person holds the power to rise above challenge and step into a life of clarity, purpose, and fulfillment. My mission is to guide you with compassion, strategy, and unwavering belief in your potential. Together, we’ll elevate every area of your life—personally and professionally.

What services do you offer at Mindful Elevation?

I provide personalized, master-level coaching rooted in leadership, psychology, and wellness. My services include one-on-one life coaching, executive and leadership coaching, mental wellness coaching, group coaching experiences, and tailored programs for first responders and high-stress professionals. Every service is designed to support holistic growth—mentally, emotionally, and professionally.

Who do you typically work with?

I specialize in working with high-performing professionals—executives, entrepreneurs, law enforcement officers, healthcare leaders, and individuals in fast-paced environments—who are ready to elevate their leadership, well-being, and sense of purpose. My clients are motivated, growth-oriented, and committed to meaningful transformation.

Do you offer specialized coaching for law enforcement professionals?

Yes. With academic research focused on law enforcement mental health and years of experience in high-pressure organizational environments, I offer resilience-focused coaching tailored to officers and their families. These sessions address stress management, leadership development, emotional regulation, and support for long-term wellness in the field.

How are coaching sessions conducted?

To ensure flexibility and accessibility, sessions are typically held via Zoom. Phone sessions are available by request, and in-person sessions can be arranged when feasible. This allows clients from any location to access consistent, high-quality support in a format that fits their lifestyle.

What happens during a typical coaching session?

Each session is fully personalized to your journey. We explore your goals, current challenges, and mindset, then develop a strategic, step-by-step plan to help you move forward. Sessions are supportive yet action-oriented, designed to leave you with greater clarity and confidence.

How long does the coaching process take?

Coaching is a process—not a one-size-fits-all solution. Most clients experience meaningful progress within 3 to 6 months, while others continue beyond that for ongoing development and support. The pace is tailored to your specific goals and level of engagement.

What sets your coaching apart?

My approach combines over 25 years of leadership experience with doctoral-level training in organizational behavior and mental wellness. I use evidence-based frameworks from cognitive science, emotional intelligence, and behavioral coaching to deliver practical, lasting results. This is not cookie-cutter coaching—it's a fully customized experience designed to align your mindset, actions, and goals.

How is mental wellness incorporated into your coaching?

Mental wellness is a cornerstone of every session. Through guided strategies such as stress reduction, resilience training, and mindset coaching, I help clients build inner strength while advancing professionally. Although coaching is not therapy, it provides a safe, empowering space to support emotional clarity and personal development.

Can coaching guarantee results?

While no coach can guarantee specific outcomes, my clients often achieve transformational growth when they fully commit to the process. Coaching success depends on your consistency, openness to change, and active participation. I provide the structure, tools, and support—you bring the dedication to elevate your life.

How do I know if this coaching program is right for me?

If you’re ready to break through what’s holding you back, define your goals clearly, and lead your life with intention—this program is for you. Whether you seek personal growth, professional clarity, or emotional resilience, Mindful Elevation provides a grounded, strategic path forward.

Is everything I share confidential?

Absolutely. Your privacy and trust are paramount. Everything discussed in our sessions is fully confidential and handled with the highest level of professional integrity.

What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?

I ask that all cancellations or reschedules be made at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged for the session. I understand that life happens, and I’ll do my best to accommodate when unexpected situations arise.

How can I get started?

Simply schedule a complimentary Empowerment Discovery Session through my website. This introductory session is a chance for us to connect, explore your needs, and determine whether we’re a great fit to work together.
