ABOUT

With a diverse professional background encompassing roles as an educational therapist and learning specialist both privately and in educational institutions, as well as 10 years as a college & career advisor and mentoring coordinator for a non-profit college access program, I’ve had the privilege of guiding youth and young adults through various stages of change and transition in their lives. My journey has been enriched by my personal experience of being a mother to two wonderful boys, aged 11 and 14.

Throughout my personal and professional life, I've helped young adults to successfully navigate the complexities of educational, career and life shifts. Supporting others through these various life experiences has shaped my understanding of the challenges we all face and the importance of cultivating clarity, integrity and resilience to build satisfying and empowered lives.

For the past decade, mindfulness and insight meditation have been central to my life, offering me profound insights into managing change and achieving balance. My dedication to these practices led me to the Life Balance Institute and the transformative work of Philip Moffit. As part of the 2023/2024 cohort of Life Balance/Change & Transition Strategists, I’ve been deeply moved by the impact of this training on my own life.  

I am honored to combine my professional experiences with these transformative Life Balance tools to support young adults in leading meaningful and balanced lives. It’s my passion to empower individuals to navigate their own transitions with confidence and clarity, fostering an intentional life rooted in alignment, fulfillment and confidence.

I look forward to the opportunity to work together.

…no one has the power or authority to save you the way you can save yourself. All therapists, meditation teachers, counselors, and coaches can do is guide you to reclaim your power. A guide is not a savior. A guide is simply the person who can show you how to walk the right path so that you can finally live without having to carry so many mental burdens.
