ABOUT ME

After growing up in Maryland and attending the University of Maryland, I went to Syracuse University to study law.  It was there that I met my future husband, got married and started a family.  I worked for several years and then made the choice to stay home and raise my children. Once my children were older, I began working as a part-time attorney for a law firm.  It was at this point I realized that I did not want to practice law. Simultaneously, I found myself in a crisis as my marriage was falling apart.  This was the most challenging time of my life as my plans and dreams for the future were no longer going to be what I had expected. I felt out of control and helpless, frequently asking myself, "How could this be happening to me?" My self-esteem was shattered and I felt like I would never be happy again. ​

I've been where you are, feeling out of control and helpless because my dreams for how my life was supposed to be weren't working out the way I had planned. After resisting what was happening and grieving the loss of the life I was "supposed to have", I became tired of being unhappy.  It was then that I began my journey towards self-awareness, growth and enlightenment. The process was long and painful.  I spent considerable time and energy finding the tools crucial to my recovery. I learned that I held all the power within myself to create a joyful life filled with purpose and passion.  I know now that I can choose thoughts and behavior which empower and serve me in every situation and circumstance. I feel free and in control of my life and my happiness. My training as a life coach has provided me with additional skills and tools which complement those I learned and developed from my personal experience. For those who desire change in their lives, I will assist you by applying the tools I have mastered to guide you through that journey.  As a certified life and relationship coach, I know I can help you create the life you are meant to live.
