Life & Career Coaching for Thoughtful, High-Achieving Women
Find clarity, confidence, and direction in a way that feels authentic – not forced.

Short Welcome
Hi, I’m Mariya – a former atmospheric and environmental scientist who realized I find more fulfillment in working with people than data. I help thoughtful, capable people get clear about what they truly want, make a plan, and confidently follow it.

Who I Help
I support:

• Young scientists navigating life and career direction
• Smart, responsible “good girls” who feel overwhelmed by expectations and ready to reclaim their real, full self

What I Do
My coaching focuses on helping you:

• Clarify your goals
• Identify inner and outer obstacles
• Develop tools for confidence, boundaries, and self-trust
• Take action at a pace that feels real and doable

My Philosophy
You are the expert in your own life.
My job is to help you hear the voice inside you that already knows.

“New York City might have the Ghostbusters, but I have Mariya, the ProblemBuster, on my team! I first sought out Mariya’s coaching services to help increase my levels of life satisfaction and, then again, to achieve greater productivity as a young scientist. During the first set of sessions, she helped me identify and realign my intrinsic motivators to achieve my personal goals. Mariya has the rare ability to lend a supportive and dependable perspective while being like a high-quality mirror (i.e., clarity). The aforementioned skillset combined with her scientific experience made her the perfect fit for my scientific professional coaching needs as well. By the end of my second set of sessions, Mariya’s consistent and effective guidance helped me tackle, surpass, and enjoy my short-term professional objectives (i.e., finish a thesis, journal article, and proposal) over the course of 3 months.”
