My purpose in this life is to be a beacon of light, turning hopes to desires. I have worked 20 years as a professional counselor and coach and I am obsessed with the transformation individuals make when they change their thinking. I help you shift your mindset so you can get clarity and confidence to boldly step into the next chapter. My mission is to help you make that next chapter your best chapter!

I spent a large part of my life hiding and quieting my gifts and uniqueness, hoping to blend in. I gave up my dreams to live the life I thought I was supposed to, conforming and working by other people’s standards. I stopped conforming to the expectations of others and began to live life on my own terms. After surviving a stroke and being told I would never walk or live independently again. I decided to break free from the rules and beliefs of others. I decided their ways,that left me feeling unfulfilled and scared, would no longer be a part of my internal dialogue. I broke free from that cycle and embraced the person I was created to be. I have mastered the art of starting again, earning me the nickname “the comeback kid.”

My greatest lesson was learning to release what I thought I was supposed to do, renew my mind for growth, and lean into my uniqueness. I thrive with each new chapter, channeling the lessons from my journey as well as my work professionally, teaching women to overcome their fears and boldly create their next chapter.”

I view everything as an adventurous journey filled with resilience, exploration, learning and laughter!

• I had an unexpected encounter with a scorpion—proof that adventure can come with surprises!
• Former Miss Hawaiian Tropic, yep that was me throwing the giant beach ball into the crowd at Beach Boy concerts.
• A Disney World enthusiast who has visited countless times—because who can resist the magic of Mickey Mouse?

With over 20 years of experience in psychology as a professional counselor and a background as Goldman Sachs business owner, I’ve learned that the key to moving forward is to let go of the past, cultivate a growth mindset, and create a plan for your future. 20 years as a member of the national crisis response team as a trauma specialist, I have passionately responded to traumatic events that impact individuals and communities. As a business owner, I have successfully operated a group practice for over 10 years, fostering a collaborative environment that promotes healing and growth. I began shifting into the coaching arena, as I discovered it aligns perfectly with my needs to focus more on the wellness model, allowing me to support individuals in achieving their holistic well-being. As a published author and motivational speaker for various organizations has allowed me to inspire and motivate others to embrace what is next and to never give up. I continue to emphasize the importance of connecting the mind and body through teaching others to shift their mindset so they can shift their reality.
