I have worked as a personal trainer, health coach, and self-defense instructor for the past 26 years. I saw the connection between trauma and mental health and how it affects the lives and health of individuals and couples. Working in mental health counseling I teach practical, confidence -boosting skills that prioritize mental safety, awareness, resilience and transformation toward growth and empowerment.  I want to see you succeed.  

I have a bachelor’s degree in English Secondary Education. I have a Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in trauma.  I also have studied and am certified in sports nutrition, physical fitness, health coaching, and self defense.  

I view traumas as a source of resilience and insight. My approach helps people transform adversity into fuel for growth, empowerment, and lasting change. I tailor every plan to meet your goals and lifestyle. I work with the mind as well as breathwork, grounding, and personal work. These methods provide a practical means to aid in your ability to achieve a practical confidence, resilience and control over your life. Progress over perfection. Let’s make the small consistent steps that can lead into a lasting change in your life. 

Whether working one-on-one or with couples, I empower clients to understand themselves more deeply, overcome obstacles, and live more meaningful, connected lives.
