Life Coach New York

Helping ambitious New Yorkers create the lives they want

In this city, ambition never sleeps. You’re surrounded by opportunity, competition, and pressure — but when life feels like a treadmill, it’s easy to lose track of what you actually want.

That’s where I come in. As a Master Certified Coach (MCC), I help New York’s brightest minds step off autopilot, clarify what matters, and take bold, purposeful action.

Transformative Life Coaching in New York

On paper, you’ve made it: the career, the title, the lifestyle. But inside, you’re disconnected. Nights are restless with the question: “Is this all there is?”

You’re “successfully stuck” — accomplished but unfulfilled, moving fast but not moving forward. The constant pressure leaves no space for clarity, only a loop of doubt and second-guessing.

Coaching breaks that cycle. Together, we’ll cut through the noise, reconnect you with what matters, and chart your next chapter with clarity and confidence.

From Overthinking to Action

Clarity doesn’t come from circling the same thoughts — it comes from action.

This is not therapy. My coaching is a forward-focused partnership built to create your future, not just analyze your past. You’ll get:

A structured process

Clear accountability

Measurable results

Together, we’ll design concrete steps that take you from where you are to where you want to be.

Why Credentials Matter

In New York, there’s a life coach on every corner. Credentials set me apart.

I’m one of fewer than 1% of coaches worldwide to earn the MCC designation from the International Coaching Federation — the highest standard in coaching. It guarantees mastery, ethics, and a results-driven methodology.

Client Testimonials

Allison has a knack for active listening. I came to her for help starting a career, in a state of desperation and rudderlessness. She not only helped me find work, she helped me find reasons and ways to enjoy my work, and the will to pursue a career in a way I never have before, through helping me reframe my own understanding of my relationship to work and finances. She helped me understand myself better, and figure out how to be more authentically myself. For that, I am deeply grateful.

Jim B.

 

I am so thankful to Allison after finding her on a quick google search I fell upon her page. Currently in succession to take over a company as a young adult, I was struggling in many different ways and Allison was able to guide me through a very rough path. Not only is she so easy to talk to but she brings lovely energy to the table each day.

Alexis A.

Everyone's different and Allison knows how to work with you as an individual no matter your race, gender, political party preference, etc. At first I only sought Allison out to help with some changes in my personal life - by the time our sessions were coming to a close I successfully transitioned careers, moved cities and have a newfound appreciation for self work within my life.
