The first looks-impressive-on-paper—details like awards, degrees, and work experience. 

 

The second one is where you get vibes for the person.

 

This is the vibey version.

​

I’ve always been a helper. Since early middle school, I’ve been the go-to girlfriends and acquaintances turn to for advice, cheering up, and sage wisdom. Helping is who I am.

 

First, as a social worker and now as a coach/speaker, guiding people to feel better (it often starts physically) so they can feel better (emotionally and mentally) is the goal. 

 

Because when you feel better, life is *extra*. 

 

Feeling better propels you to do the hard things in life, take (calculated) risks, and go after those dreams even when surrounded by doubters.

 

Here’s the truth: it’s never too late, and your life and dreams matter – A LOT. 

 

My intent is to provide you with insights and a reference point based on professional and personal experiences, share tried and true tools and tips, and be a guidepost for what’s possible.

 

Warning: I curse occasionally; some people call me perpetually positive, I simply embrace and accept life’s bumpy parts are for growth and learning; Red Sox over the Yankees every day; and I take my coffee black.

 

Lastly, I’m an east coast native with west coast roots. Southern California is home with my husband, twin teenagers, and two dogs, Olive and Peanut.

 

And now for the basic bio.
