After 20 years of working in high school and college settings, I have learned a lot about the growing needs of teen and young adult women. Whether they know it or not, my students taught ME about being self-aware, the importance of growth mindset, having a voice, perfectionism, time-management, decision-making (even if it took using the flip of a coin), stress, anxiety, depression, and more. Through all of their life experiences, I have learned to appreciate and genuinely love the journey they are on!
My goal is to empower young women to find their voice, know who they are, what they stand for, and who they want to be. I want them to confidently confront daily challenges and know how to live their life (mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually) on purpose.

With nearly twenty years of experience working as a licensed professional counselor and high school administrator, I believe that young women are best prepared to embrace uncertainty, tolerate risk, self-regulate, and grow in confidence when they are taught how to transform chaos into curiosity. As a lifelong learner myself, I base my coaching practice on the latest educational, well-being, and leadership development frameworks that are rooted in neuroscience and positive psychology. By providing a safe space to wonder about - and wrestle with - life’s potential, I aim to educate and equip young women with the tools needed to design for themselves a future that is uniquely and happily their own.
