About Me

Looking for a navigator? Someone to help you figure out where to go and how to get there? I specialize in Personal Growth Coaching, helping you become the person you want to be. In a relaxed non-judgemental atmosphere we set smart goals, establish accountability and celebrate success. There is no cookie cutter plan, this journey is specific to you. The answers and direction are inside you, I am just here to keep you on track, and help with the bumps.

I have 40 years of work/life experience, a BA in communication, and I hold certifications as a trainer, mentor and mediator. I love coaching and though it is serious work that can get hard sometimes we manage to have some fun and my clients usually find happiness along the way by using my SMILE Coach Model.

I like using SMART goals to teach my clients how to write their own goals so they can remain successful when they conclude coaching. These develop naturally into action steps and achieve able results.

Helping people to become the best person they can be is at the root of my life philosophy. I’ve always worked for non profit agencies or organizations because, to me, it made sense to help people improve their lives and by extension, the lives of the people around them.

I have experience as a teacher, college counselor, and for 10 years I was a training director for Homeland Security where I was in charge of the on-boarding process and personal development of over 400 employees. Helping people set goals and develop personal skills like self-esteem, communication, form positive habits, prioritizing, organization, and relationships set the stage for me to become a coach.

As I worked with people before and after I became a coach, one thing became obvious. The love you have for something brings out the joy, and when you include humor with that love and have experience with people for over 40 years, being a coach is not just what I do it’s who I am.
