About
Coaching is a process that enables you to get from where you are now to where you want to be – giving you the happy life you deserve. My purpose as your Life Coach is to do just that.
Typically people uncover a desire to:
Achieve a goal or ambition.
Change or improve their career.
Improve health, wellbeing and fitness.
Increase self-confidence or self-esteem.
Improve the balance between work and home life.
Change the direction of their lives.
I have a master’s degree in psychology with an emphasis on industrial/organizational psychology, executive coaching, and general life coaching. I am also educator, certified personal trainer, teen outreach facilitator, and youth development specialist with over 10 years of combined experience.

My Life Coaching sessions are tailored to meet client needs. Some clients may only need a few sessions, while others, may need many more. It all depends on who the client is and what her/his goals are.
How did you get started teaching?
I have 3 years of experience as a classroom teacher, but I've been a life teacher for a very long time. This all began with my parents who were well respected educators. I guess you can say I was born to teach.
What types of students have you worked with?
- Clients who were looking to start a business
- Clients experiencing problems in the dating climate
- Clients experiencing relationship problems
- Clients experiencing problems with conflict management
- Clients seeking direction in their lives
- Clients who are looking to lose weight
- Clients with self-esteem issues
- AND SO MUCH MORE...
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
I would encourage clients in my area to BE PATIENT in their search for the right Life Coach. I would also encourage clients to choose a Life Coach that makes "the client and her/his goals the TOP PRIORITY." All Life Coaches are not created equal. Look for the passion in a Life Coach's voice and tone, and feel what's real about her/him. You'll know when you have chosen the right Life Coach.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Questions Students Should Think of Before Talking to a Teacher:
1. Is the service worth the rate?
2. Am I prepared to make the changes I need for better life?
3. Am I dealing with a professional or a novice?
4. Will my information be kept confidential?
5. Will my Life Coach make me a priority?
