About Me

I have a blend of training and background.  My corporate life experience was as a senior level executive for over 20 years at fast-paced, results driven non-profits. Doing this all while balancing a family of three step-daughters, a toddler, a dog, cat and a husband whose job was equally as demanding. While juggling my work and personal life, I always gravitated toward helping people live their best lives. While my job was stable and I was excelling in my role, I felt like something was missing. It was no longer fulfilling me in the way that it once had.

Prior to my work as an Executive & Life Coach and therapist, I earned a master’s degree in social work from the University of Pennsylvania and became a licensed clinical social worker early on. Throughout my career in non-profit, my love for helping people and providing support never waned. I thus continued my therapeutic training for over two decades while in non-profit. I am a trained EMDR therapist (Eye Movement  Desensitization Reprocessing), trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and a Level 2 AEDP therapist (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy).  It's also important to note that I began my own journey in therapy in my early 20's  and have experienced tremendous help and support in the methods I now am trained in. I have experienced first hand how impactful and life changing the  modalities that I practice can be.

In terms of what drove me to coaching was taking my love of mentoring my team and direct reports during my tenure as an Executive to tap into their individual strengths and see them thrive and succeed. It was through working with my own life coach that I decided to leave my secure job and branch out and take a chance on my dream which was to become a coach and a therapist. Once I stopped listening to my internal critic I made the move and I haven't looked back!
