Relationship Coach.

I am a credentialed international Coach, specifically trained in relationships. I’m a widow. A great friend. Even though I’m an only child, I am a member of a large, loud, but loving family. 

Like many others I’ve come through a lot of pain, self-inflicted and from others. I used to think that if I was nice and played by “the rules” I would achieve success in all areas of my life. While I have had success in many ways and love in my life, I spent years exhausted, unhealthy, and had mild depression.

I've never been the type to be OK with the status quo or a routine life. I’ve always been drawn to personal growth and development, pushing myself to expand and grow. Because of that, I learned to stop breaking my own heart. With sheer will and the many brilliant teachers, mentors, my therapist and coaches, I lovingly woke myself up from the illusions and painful patterns I was in.  

I am now living my life’s purpose, working with individuals, groups, and organizations on one of my favorite topics, healthy relationships. Prior to becoming a full-time Coach, I spent 16 years serving in leadership roles as the Director of Programs and Vice President of Operations. Because of those roles, I am passionate about healthy leadership as well. I believe it's vital for leaders to develop healthy interpersonal skills which allow organizations to thrive. 

I also facilitate workshops, and offer one-on-one and group coaching. I’ve led educational programs in private and public schools, universities, and nonprofit and for-profit organizations in support of creating positive, healthy, and flourishing environments. I’ve also developed and taught curricula on healthy relationships to high school students.
