Some of us more than others. I’m one of the “more than other’s”, but that’s alright! The amazing thing about life is that while it offers us challenges it also presents us with plenty of beautifully amazing moments. Being open to these moments is not always easy when one is not living in a way that allows them to be received. As a Life Coach I work with you to be the healthiest and happiest version of yourself. You deserve this, we all deserve to be happy, and I want to help you achieve it. Together we will stop the self-limiting beliefs, increase your self-confidence and self-awareness, and shift your perspective in order to align you with your true authentic self. There is no reason why you can’t do this. There is no reason why you shouldn’t be living a fulfilled life. You’ll hear me say again and again, Y.E.S! you can, and Y.E.S! you will. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy concepts for problem focused, action oriented change along with Mindfulness Techniques to achieve greater awareness and purposeful living. I graduated with a bachelor’s of Psychology from Lake Forest College in 1994. Although I began a master’s program to become a licensed clinical social worker, I took a break which led me to this amazing destination of Life Coaching, through certification at The World Coach Institute. Throughout the post graduate years leading up to now, I have been greatly fulfilled by the interior design business I founded and my staging work in real estate. Nothing resonated with me in those lines of work though more than the ever familiar and centering moments when I was able to help a client on an emotional level. The minute the tables turned from discussions about paint colors or load bearing walls to personal issues, I felt I’d returned home, I felt a sense of fulfillment I found nowhere else. The gratitude I would receive from my clients in those moments was invaluable and I cherished it with all of my heart. As these moments grew more and more common, as I was becoming more and more open to them again, life serendipitously came together. Here I am, speaking to you. There’s no place I’d rather be, I am so very grateful.
