My background combines life coaching with advanced training in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, allowing me to offer a deeper, psychologically informed approach to personal growth, relationships, and family dynamics.

As a parent of nine adopted children who have experienced significant trauma, neglect, and adversity, my work is not only professional — it is deeply personal. My experiences have given me unique insight into attachment, emotional regulation, family systems, resilience, boundaries, and the long-term impact of both pain and healing.

I hold certifications in relationship coaching and child/adolescent psychology and am currently pursuing advanced doctoral studies in Counseling Education and Supervision. My approach is direct, compassionate, insightful, and growth-focused, helping individuals, couples, and families better understand unhealthy patterns, strengthen communication, and create healthier emotional connections.

At the core of my work is a simple belief: healing and growth become possible when people feel both understood and challenged to grow.
