Meet Dr. Goli

A girl on a mission

I’ve spent my entire adult life doing one thing—devoting myself to people.
Students. Women. Communities. Anyone navigating life without the guidance, support, or voice they deserve.

I became an educator because I wanted to make a real difference.
I became a department chair because I wanted to lead with purpose.
And I earned my doctorate because I wanted to understand human behavior, self-efficacy, and transformation at the deepest level—so I could help people change their lives from the inside out.

But long before the degrees, the titles, or the experience, I was just a young woman trying to figure out life alone. I know what it feels like to struggle quietly, to carry the weight of expectations, to grow up fast, and to still feel unprepared for the world. Those experiences shaped me into the coach I am today—empathetic, intuitive, and deeply committed to helping others find clarity, strength, and direction.

For over ten years, I’ve worked in education—supporting students, coaching teachers, and guiding families. At the same time, my philanthropic work in communities across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia taught me a powerful truth:

Everyone needs a mentor. Everyone deserves a coach.
Someone who sees their blind spots.
Someone who helps them break cycles.
Someone who reminds them of who they are when they forget.

I combine my background in psychology, leadership, curriculum design, and human development with my coaching practice to help women and young adults:

• break emotional and behavioral patterns
• create habits that match the life they want
• build self-trust and identity
• heal after relationships
• set boundaries
• navigate anxiety and overwhelm
• and step into a life that feels aligned and intentional.

While I provide academic and career support, the heart of my work is personal transformation. I help you understand yourself—your beliefs, your patterns, your values—and guide you into becoming the strongest, most grounded version of who you’re meant to be.

Coaching in Action

Am I the right Coach for you?

Coaching is personal. It’s relational. It’s sacred work.
We’ll discover together—during your consultation or a few sessions in—whether we’re the right match.

If we’re not, that’s completely okay.
What matters most is your journey, not my enrollment.
And because I care about your growth, I’ll guide you toward a coach or mentor in my trusted network who aligns with your specific needs.

Your transformation begins with one decision today.
I’ll walk with you the rest of the way.
