Hey, I’m Ikey. I wrote this for you:

Growing up, I often felt like the only adult in the room. I carried the weight of being responsible for others and trying to “fix” everything around me. Over time, I realized that living this way wasn’t sustainable. Through a lot of self-work, I learned how to set boundaries, let go of what wasn’t mine to carry, and find my way back to myself.

This journey is why I do what I do. I know that meaningful change is possible. My own healing taught me how to trust myself, build healthy relationships, and create a life that feels true to who I am.

Now, in my 40s, I help my clients do the same.

I combine 16 years of experience in the tech industry with advanced training in therapeutic coaching, including certifications in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and as an ICF Trauma-Informed Coach at the PCC level. With over 1,000 hours of client work, I’ve supported people in navigating everything from workplace challenges to deeply personal transitions. Ready to make a change?

Education & Experience

With over 16 years in tech and leadership, I’ve led and mentored hundreds of people at different stages of their careers. My experience includes:

  • Building and leading teams from scratch

  • Recruiting and developing talent

  • Navigating high-pressure environments

  • Creating strong, collaborative cultures

  • Supporting individuals through transitions, conflict, and growth

Throughout my career, I found that what I enjoyed most was helping people grow—personally and professionally. This inspired my transition from tech leadership to full-time coaching, where I now help clients navigate complex life and relationship challenges with empathy and pragmatism.

    I’m committed to staying current with modern coaching and therapeutic approaches. This includes ongoing accredited courses, personal study, and regular supervision to ensure I continue offering high-quality, ethical support to my clients.

Born in 1982, I’ve lived what seems to be many lives, on three continents, navigating the complexities of creating a home and finding a sense of belonging. This experience shapes how I show up in our sessions—grounded, empathetic, and deeply aware of what it means to start over, adapt, and grow. I bring a wealth of real-life experience to our work together.

Our joint sessions are built so you can pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that no longer serve you, build resilience, and create real, lasting change.

Whether you’re navigating challenging dynamics with colleagues, learning to set healthy boundaries, or feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, I’ll help you untangle the chaos and find clarity. My process blends compassion, mindfulness, and evidence-based techniques with practical strategies, all tailored to your needs.

You don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to guide and support you, every step of the way.
