You have held a clear light for me as I navigate through a time of uncertainty, refocusing and major growth in my life. With your help I have re-evaluated and confidently refocused. All in such a short time!! I am eager to be on with my new agenda, energized by a new sense of personal wholeness."

individuals who are going through life transitions and pursuing their dreams and goals.I work from a heart-centered and practical approach, using my intuition, knowledge, training and experience as a coach and social worker to guide me.
In addition, I am truly passionate about partnering with small business owners, to help them conquer the challenges they face, focus on what's most important and effective, and get the results for which they've been striving. By combining my 25 years experience in sales, marketing and leadership, with my success as an owner of several businesses, it enables me to understand and guide entrepreneurs as they define their vision and create the business they’ve always wanted.
My clients tell me they come to me because of who I am: non-judgmental, curious, pragmatic, effective, caring, down-to-earth, spiritual and real. I believe that people can do whatever they set their mind and action to. As a coach and counselor, I partner with my clients, supporting, encouraging, focusing on their strengths, challenging and holding them accountable along the way.
