I have always dreamed of a career that would allow me to be active, help people, and offer a lot of variety.

After getting a master’s degree and certification, I became a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist. When I realized my work options were limited to hospitals and nursing homes, I knew I had to pivot.  

I dove into fitness and started teaching group exercise in 1997. As a personal trainer, I noticed my clients would make progress, lose resolve and then inevitably quit. Looking at this pattern, I saw that my clients needed clarity and support to shift their mindset. 

My desire to help people identify limiting patterns, learn skills, and make positive changes led me to coach. I love coaching because, like fitness training, it focuses on positive, actionable steps that can be learned and immediately applied. 

In 2016, I became certified as a Strategic Intervention Life Coach and have had regular clients since then.

Since then, I have become an in-home Counselor for families in crisis. Doing this work since 2022, I have learned that children don’t exist in a vacuum. Their whole family influences them. Working with families has been the most rewarding work I have ever done. 

I help families identify the unhealthy patterns in their family and give them the tools to shift the dynamic.

In 2024, I became a Qualified Mental Health Professional. I specialize in identifying the patterns that lead to family discord and coach simple, positive parenting and executive functioning skills. 

My mission is to help families implement practical strategies to achieve harmony and strengthen relationships.
