BACKGROUND

"As you start to walk on the way, the way appears." Rumi.

I am walking proof that "the way appears" and have forged my own healing journey through grief & loss, high conflict relationships, health related battles, career challenges and changes, intergenerational trauma, raising young adults and lived experiences in many parts of the country. This path was led by several skilled professionals and through this understanding and learning an inherent calling arose to assist others in their finding and navigating their own way. This lived experience and understanding brings my client closer in a connection that feels non-judgmental, safe and supportive.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Florida in Business Administration and prior to receiving my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University, had a lengthy career in executive management, operations, sales & marketing and startups. Working with people and finding their motivation has been front and center in my professional career.
