If there’s one thing I’ve learned throughout my life and career, it’s that every person has a story, and every story deserves to be heard without judgment.

I combine professional expertise, real-world experience, and genuine human connection to help individuals create meaningful change in their lives. My approach is rooted in the belief that people are far more than their struggles, labels, stereotypes, stigma, mistakes, or circumstances. When we take the time to understand our experiences, we gain the power to transform them.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Human Resources Management and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, along with multiple coaching certifications. My educational background allows me to view personal and professional growth through a unique lens. By combining principles of leadership development, organizational psychology, communication, mental wellness, and human behavior, I help clients navigate both personal challenges and professional goals with greater confidence and clarity.

Before entering the mental health field, I spent more than 25 years managing, consulting, training, and leading teams within restaurants, retail stores, and dental practices. Throughout my career, I have coached professionals, developed leaders, improved workplace culture, facilitated difficult conversations, and helped individuals discover strengths they didn’t realize they possessed. My experience in human resources and leadership development continues to influence my coaching philosophy today, helping clients strengthen communication, confidence, boundaries, emotional intelligence, and decision-making skills in both their personal and professional lives.

My work is deeply personal as well as professional. As a survivor of sexual assault and domestic violence, I understand what it feels like to rebuild after adversity, rediscover your voice, and reclaim your power. Those experiences shaped my passion for helping others heal, grow, and recognize their own resilience. Over the years, I have had the privilege of sharing my story as a guest speaker, empowering both women and men to move beyond survival and create lives defined by purpose, strength, and self-worth.

In addition to individual coaching, I facilitate workshops and educational programs for men, women, and teens on topics including personal growth, self-awareness, communication, leadership, resilience, healthy relationships, confidence, mental wellness, and overcoming life’s challenges. Whether I’m speaking to a room of professionals, mentoring a client one-on-one, or leading a workshop, my goal remains the same: to create a space where people feel seen, heard, understood, and empowered to move forward.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me with a cup of coffee in hand, reading a good book, enjoying the Florida beaches, watching football, laughing through a comedy show, or spending time with the people I love. Originally from Washington State, I relocated to Florida in 2023 and have embraced the opportunity to continue serving others in a new community while staying connected to the values that have guided me throughout my life.

At the heart of everything I do is a deep belief in humanity. I believe healing begins with understanding. I believe growth begins with self-awareness. And I believe that when people feel genuinely connected to themselves and to others, they become capable of creating extraordinary change. The clients I work with are motivated and committed to the process.

My mission is simple: to help people find balance, build resilience, find their voice, and create a life that feels aligned with who they truly are. This is done with accountability, balance, and choices.
