About Me
As a certified life and retirement coach, I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples step confidently into the life they truly want.

For many, retirement marks an exciting new beginning—but the roadmap often feels blank. Too often, we focus only on the financial side of retirement, leaving purpose, identity, and fulfillment unexplored. That’s where retirement coaching comes in.

I specialize in guiding people through this transition so they can create lives filled with purpose, connection, and joy. Retirement coaching also supports those who have already retired but find the experience isn’t as fulfilling as they imagined—and are ready to explore what’s missing to create more meaning, balance, and satisfaction.

Together, we’ll design a clear and personalized roadmap for your next chapter—one that allows you to move forward with confidence, clarity, and excitement. As your coach, I’ll walk beside you every step of the way.

After serving 12 years in the Federal government as a Leadership Coach, Training Manager, and Program Manager, I decided to start my next chapter. Through that process, I recognized a real gap: while people spend decades planning financially for retirement, very few prepare emotionally, socially, and purposefully for this major life shift.
Drawing on my leadership and life coaching background, paired with training in retirement coaching, I founded Hope’s Open Door Coaching to provide the support I wish more retirees had access to.
Before my federal service, I spent 26 years in the U.S. Navy, , with leadership roles in recruitment, education, and training. I also worked five years in the private sector supporting IT systems for government clients, giving me a unique ability to bridge technology, strategy, and people across different environments.

These diverse experiences have shaped the way I coach: with empathy, practicality, and a deep understanding of transitions, identity, and growth.
