I believe that all of my clients come to me with the same underlying goal, they want to be happier, more fulfilled. With that in mind, I help my clients identify areas where they are not happy. I’ve noticed that this is not always the area they initially seek help in. I had a client come to me with relationship issues and after discussing and talking through the “issues” they had, it was not their relationship.  Their main source of unhappiness was their job, partly due to their position not allowing them to spend much quality time with their partner. 

So, if you feel there are several areas of your life where you’re struggling, have no idea what to do next, and just generally want to live a happier, more vibrant, and exciting life, you’re in the right place. 

Some situations where my coaching may be beneficial to you:

• You and your partner just ended your relationship, and you have no idea how to get back into the dating world. 


• You’re a student and lack studying skills and feel like all of your tasks are too overwhelming for you. 


• You just got divorced and want to discover who you are outside of your marriage and rebuild your life. 


• You generally feel like your life is missing something and want to live in a more productive and happy way. 


• You’re in therapy but want additional support to help achieve goals, get your life back together, plan for the future, etc. 


• You’re wanting to change careers and have no idea where to start or how to write a resume. 


• You’ve been on hundreds of dates and can’t understand why none of them have been successful. 


• You’re shy and want to be more of a social person. 

These are just a few examples of concerns clients have sought coaching for. There are thousands of issues that my coaching can help with!

If you’re looking for someone who can empathetically listen to you, your concerns, and help you come up with more effective ways of managing your behaviors and emotions, then I’m your girl! 

I have a master’s degree in psychology and believe that my education, clinical experience, and general understanding of human behavior has allowed me to successfully help many clients struggling with personal issues. Not only will we uncover obstacles that stand in the way of your true purpose and happiness, but we will also identify problematic behaviors and thoughts and work to correct them to ensure you have the proper tools to advocate for your own happiness in the future. 

I practice holistic and mindful coaching, where we look at your life as a whole. In essence, I believe that everything has a cause and effect. When examining one problem, we will also be addressing all the other problems that are connected. Are your relationship insecurities impacting your job performance? Without addressing all the issues, you won't be the happiest version of yourself. 

The mindfulness aspect of my coaching relates to your awareness of your thoughts, behaviors, and mechanisms that drive your decisions. A known definition of “insanity” is doing something over and over and expecting a different outcome, right? So, we will examine the roadblocks and beliefs that are preventing you from succeeding, develop new techniques and cognitive beliefs that will better serve you and your goals.

Having gone through my own struggles with relationships, family, work, and mental health, I have developed a unique set of skills that allow me to support others in an empathetic, understanding, and productive way. It was through therapy and life coaching that I was able to get myself to a place where I love waking up every day and feel excited about my future.

I have over five years of clinical experience working with clients to develop better emotional and behavioral strategies, work through problems, and achieve goals. In combination with my extensive mental health education and knowledge in psychology, I believe that my personal and professional experience make me different from other coaches. I understand where you are right now and where you want to be. It’s a painful process when trying to do it alone and that’s why I want to help you examine your behaviors, set goals, make plans, and figure out how to get you to the other end of the tunnel you feel trapped in. I promise, there is light and if you’re struggling with hope, know that I believe in you enough for the both of us.
