I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Life Coach, certified as a strategic intervention coach through the renowned Robbins-Madanes Coaching Institute.
Working with me as your coach is an opportunity to stretch yourself, find creative solutions, new perspectives and grow more than you thought possible.
I’ve led thousands of people to build their internal power, confidence, and success; to learn that self care does not equate with selfishness, that striving for more does not mean striving for perfection, and to discover and live a life by design, not by accident.
Why ‘creating success from the inside out?’ I created this tagline about 20 years ago, when I started working with women who wanted more success but were getting stuck. Learning from my own experiences, and having already helped many clients at that point, it was crystal clear to me that first comes the internal work ( yep, that’s the juicy stuff!), then comes the external success.
I believe true fulfillment and success aren’t primarily about achievements and money. The biggest gift you can give yourself is personal development and self love, and when you work on you to know and love who you are, imperfections and all, to develop your natural strengths and gifts, you will truly shine from the inside out.

Therapy vs. Coaching?
Therapy:
Therapy originates from a medical model of “What is wrong?”
It often focuses on healing the past and helping with an area of life where someone is suffering, has emotional pain or family problems stemming from troublesome events.
Therapy is useful for mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, or life situations that cause persistent unmanageable stress.
Coaching:
Coaching originates from a sports model of “How do I improve?” It’s a partnership and collaboration between the coach and client.
Coaching is action oriented and strengths based.
People who benefit from coaching are already stable and developed but want more out of their life or relationships, want to create more success, or want to reach goals they haven’t been able to yet.
I welcome questions by email or phone to talk about working together and how I may be able to serve you best.
Strategic Intervention:
Strategic Intervention is a school of coaching based on numerous theories of human behavior including Eriksonian Therapy, Human Needs Psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Strategic Family Therapy, and others. It brilliantly combines an inside out approach - meaning we look at what blocks, motivates, inspires, energizes you - while working on your life dreams and goals, using the most effective approaches to support you in taking steps towards personal and professional success.
