As a certified life coach with 16 years in education as a high school teacher and school counselor. I create a safe space for teens and preteens to be heard, supported, and empowered. Using practical strategies and real talk, I help you figure out what really matters to you, manage stress, build resilience, and set goals that feel right for you. Whether you're dealing with school pressure, friendships, family stuff, or just trying to understand yourself better—I’m here to help you feel more confident, clear, and in control of your next steps.

I’m dedicated to supporting parents of middle and high school students. My work focuses on equipping you with the tools and resources to help your child build a healthy life balance, navigate mental health challenges, and develop a personalized recovery plan that supports success both at home and in school.

You don’t have to face life’s challenges alone—together, we’ll create a safe, supportive space to navigate your journey with clarity and confidence. Personalized mental health support—just for you. FREE consultations available.
