Credentials & License Information

While navigating a busy career, I've also built resilience skills stemming from a variety of life challenges. 

As a single mom, I built my career while putting my son first. While there were ups and downs, looking back I can say that I learned invaluable lessons from the difficult times. I've personally used a resilience model throughout my life to overcome a variety of obstacles. 

My son is a talented musician and artist who has both struggled and triumphed in his life. Resilience has been key to supporting him through challenges.

I am now a proud nana of a granddaughter who has a rare genetic disorder, Joubert Syndrome, which impacted her brain development. She is a daily teacher of resilience, optimism, and strength. 

I also navigated a challenging marriage that required me to build another set of resilience skills. 

I have over two decades of experience in the corporate world, with a passion for workplace culture, empowered leadership, ethics and values, and building resilience. 

While working in business roles, I  taught weekly yoga classes , and helped build wellness,  resilience, and stress management programs, along with supporting other workplace culture initiatives. 

While my career was rewarding, it left me with chronic stress - focusing on high achievement and following my passions left me with little time for self-care. I know what it's like to work non-stop and experience burnout, even though the work is fulfilling and meaningful. 

I recently left the corporate world to focus on my passion of helping people navigate the ups and downs of life. 

 My approach is based on fostering resilience skills to help you achieve balance, center on your purpose, or reach wellness goals. 

I promote a non-judgmental and personal values model for change.   

I believe that shame, guilt, and trauma are often at the root of our challenges. Often, our culture, society, environment, family dynamics, and personal experiences lead us to challenges. 

The tools I promote are tools I personally use in my life, including yoga practice, breathing, meditation, journaling, creative expression, and social connections.
