I'm intentionally small and work with you 1:1 to create a powerful personal brand.
You don’t just need a resume. You need a clear framework and a proven job landing system.
My CLEAR™ framework blends messaging, strategy, and behavior-based change to help you communicate your value with confidence. It’s how I guide high-achieving professionals through pivots, promotions, industry changes, and midlife reinvention—so you land roles that align with your strengths, goals, and next chapter.
How the CLEAR™ Framework Helps You Land Roles with Confidence
Clarity
Clarity is knowing who you are, what you bring to the table, and where you want to go next. Together, we define your strengths, core themes, target roles, and the direction that makes sense based on your experience and goals. When you have clarity, you stop second-guessing yourself and start making decisions with confidence.
Language
Language is how you communicate your value. This includes the words, stories, and framing that show your impact. We translate your experience into clear, modern, leadership-ready messaging that resonates with hiring managers — on your resume, LinkedIn, interviews, and in everyday conversations.
Reputation
Reputation is how others experience you — online, in interviews, and in everyday interactions. We refine the way you present yourself so your personal brand is consistent, credible, and leadership-aligned. Your resume, LinkedIn, and messaging work together to support the professional identity you want to be known for.
Alignment
Alignment is making sure the roles you pursue actually fit your strengths, values, lifestyle, and long-term goals. It’s about choosing work that feels right — not just work you can do. When your career is aligned, you show up more confidently, communicate more clearly, and make decisions that support the life you want.
Execution
Execution is the plan — the practical steps you take to move your career forward. We create a doable strategy for your job search, networking, applications, and conversations. You’ll know exactly what to say, where to focus, and how to approach each part of your search so you stop spinning and start progressing.
The secret to 15 years of success? The personal brand blueprint. This proprietary brand mapping process will help you understand who you are, how you show up, and what you can be counted on to deliver. Our work together will give you clarity on:
+ How you show up
+ What you're known for
+ How you uniquely deliver value
+ Who needs your unique combination of skills, experience, & talents
+ Where to focus your networking efforts
+ Messaging aligned with your target audience
+ Connect the dots for hiring manager
+ Take control of your career narrative
+ Shift your mindset and stop looking in the rearview mirror

Client Success Stories in Numbers
Career storytelling is what sets me apart. I don’t just write resumes—I help you build a personal brand that opens doors.
Navigating Burnout, Pivots, and Identity Change
Burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s often a sign that your role, environment, or expectations no longer match the person you’ve become. Many women come to me after months (or years) of pushing through, only to realize they’ve outgrown their current path or lost clarity on what comes next.
My coaching process helps you slow down, separate the noise from the truth, and understand what’s actually driving the frustration or exhaustion. Whether you’re exploring a pivot, reimagining your professional identity, or rebuilding confidence after a difficult chapter, we work through these transitions with structure and honesty.
You’ll leave with a clearer direction, a stronger story, and the confidence to position yourself for the opportunities that genuinely fit who you are now — not who you were ten years ago.
Women in their 40s and 50s face a unique set of career dynamics: increased responsibility, subtle ageism, competing personal demands, and the pressure to “have it all figured out.” The truth is, many women at this stage are navigating major career shifts — promotions, pivots, leadership transitions, or full reinvention.
My coaching is designed specifically for women in midlife who want clarity, direction, and a stronger voice in their careers. Whether you’re planning your next chapter, stepping into leadership, or returning to the workforce after a break, you get tailored support based on your goals, strengths, and lived experience.
Coaching is available to clients across New Jersey and virtually nationwide, ensuring you get the personalized, thoughtful guidance you need — wherever you are in your journey.
Career Coaching for Women 40+ (Local + Virtual)
Career Coaching In NJ & BEyond for Women in their 40's & 50's
Midlife comes with a different set of challenges — shifting priorities, heavier leadership expectations, and the realization that the work you were great at in your 20s and 30s may no longer match who you are today. My career coaching work with women in midlife is centered around clarity, confidence, and alignment.
Together, we take a steady, strategic approach to understanding what you actually want next — not what you “should” want or what your resume says you’re supposed to do. We focus on your strengths, leadership potential, core values, and the role you’re meant to grow into, then build a practical plan to get there.
If you’re feeling stuck, under-recognized, or ready for reinvention, this coaching gives you the structure, accountability, and expert partnership to move forward with intention.
Your next chapter deserves intention.
This intensive helps women in their 40s and 50s find clarity, direction, and a path forward.
