My Story

Hi! SO nice to meet you!​ Let me share a little bit about myself...

​

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who has served in the mental health and healthcare sphere for over 35 years. I have worked as a behavioral health leader, supervisor, trainer, and mentor over the course of my career, in both community-based and corporate settings. My therapeutic approach is person centered and solution focused. My passion is to work with individuals and groups and to guide them to achieve higher awareness, to learn skills that they can use to improve their lives, to gain self love and acceptance, and most importantly-to feel better.​

In 2022, I decided to pursue my yoga teacher training (YTT) and completed my initial 200 hours of study. Shorty thereafter, I continued my yoga journey and completed my 300 hour training and decided I wanted to start a small business with the goal of supporting other women. I know several people who have been in therapy for years, but they are still 'stuck' and their lives have not improved. My way of working with people is to join with them, to provide tools that are evidenced based (ie-they work!) and accessible, and to incorporate the wisdom of yoga.. People think yoga is doing movement on a mat. Yes, that is true, but it is only part of it. Yoga is also about breathing, finding balance, mindfulness, meditation and alignment. The true goal of yoga is to end suffering.

Personally, I have been married over 30 years and I have two children. They call me MOA= mom of awesomeness. I am a thrift store & yard sale aficionado and if I am not looking for treasures, you can usually find me at a concert. I am inspired by nature and love to travel. I have been described as ‘a soft place to fall’. This is my Sankulpa.

Coaching

A personal coach can offer you honest feedback and guidance in many areas of your life where you may feel stifled or frustrated. Working with a coach allows you to put your career or public ‘persona’ on the shelf and have open, authentic dialogue about barriers, needs and goals.

 

Coaching focuses on the here and now, versus looking at past events, family history and deeper psychological needs.
