I became a coach and consultant because it was a therapist and mentor in this line of work who helped me and showed me the immense power I had to change my life. I want to support your pursuit of happiness because someone supported me in mine. All people deserve to thrive.

I know how scary it can be to wonder if your voice even matters, or if it will ever be heard. I get it and I can help.

Things have been hard, but they are about to get better.
