About Evolve & Co.
My Story:
Building a career in sobriety is its own kind of work. Not impossible, but layered in ways that most professional development spaces are not designed to address.
I know this firsthand.
I didn't come to this work from a place of having it figured out. I came to it from a period of navigating sobriety, significant personal loss, and a professional rebuild, all at the same time.
The identity shifts. The communication patterns that needed to change. The social dynamics of a professional world that runs heavily on drinking culture. The work of figuring out who I was becoming, and what I actually valued, when everything that had defined me was in motion at once.
For a long time, I was a people pleaser (still a work in progress). And people pleasing, at its core, is a pattern that quietly stunts your own growth while you're busy making sure everyone else is comfortable. It kept me small in my career, in my relationships, and in my own sense of what was possible for me.
Letting go of that pattern changed how I lead, how I communicate, and how I show up.
It didn't happen from advice or a framework someone handed me. It happened from doing the kind of honest, grounded work that coaching is designed to facilitate, the work of seeing a pattern clearly, owning your role in it, and choosing something different.
That experience is the foundation of Evolve & Co.
Evolve & Co. is a co-creative coaching practice grounded in over 20 years of experience in leadership, training, and organizational development.
Why this coaching practice exists:
"I built this practice because I couldn't find what I needed, and I know I'm not the only one.
Most coaching spaces aren't built with sober professionals in mind.
Evolve & Co. is!"
Why This Niche?
Over the years I've had countless conversations with driven professionals; sharp, capable, genuinely committed to their growth. What I keep hearing is a version of the same thing.
These aren't small questions. And they don't have generic answers.
They come up whether you've been leading for twenty years or just stepped into your first management role. Whether you're running a business or navigating a difficult boss. Whether something big just happened in your life or you've just quietly noticed that the way you've been operating isn't working anymore.
What they have in common is that they don't get solved by a framework someone hands you. They get solved by doing the actual work, with someone who gets it.
That's the gap this practice exists to fill.
How do I get my manager to see who I am today — not who I was?
How do I finally have the conversation I've been avoiding without it making everything worse?
How do I keep showing up in an environment that doesn't quite fit who I'm becoming?
How do I fix the professional relationships that got messy — and actually move forward?
How do I stop making decisions when I'm running on empty?
My Approach:
I don't believe in quick fixes or borrowed answers. What I do believe (and what over 20 years of experience in leadership, training, and organizational development has shown me) is that the most durable and lasting change comes from within the person doing the work.
Coaching at Evolve & Co. is co-creative. My role isn't to tell you what to do. It's to ask the right questions, create the space, and work alongside you to uncover what you already know. The clarity and strategy you build in this process is yours, which is exactly what makes it last.
Sessions are direct, structured, and forward-focused. Every conversation is designed to move something forward, not to process the past, but to build what comes next.
What Coaching Is Not:
Evolve & Co. is a coaching practice, not a therapy, counseling, or addiction treatment practice.
Coaching is forward-focused and performance-oriented. It does not diagnose, treat, or address substance use disorders or mental health conditions.
If you are looking for clinical support, please work with a licensed professional. These are genuinely different services for different needs, and both matter.
