Education and Background

I spent many years in customer service, always driven by a heart for helping others, with a dream of becoming a Social Worker. I dedicated myself to my children and faced life’s challenges, and I was determined to go back. tocollege and finish my degree. Fear tried to stop me, but with my children grown and no other support, I stepped onto the path. I earned my Bachelor’s degree at Lewis-Clark State College in Idaho and received my Master of Social Work from the University of Denver, Colorado.

After running my own practice and providing mental health therapy to trauma survivors, I realized through my own growth that coaching offered the tools my clients needed to thrive. Clients needed answers and tools so that they, too, could befriend fear and follow their dreams. For me, coaching was the most natural step forward.

Although fear tried to stop me again, I meade the leap into coaching. Facing fear and doing it anyway has been a vital part of my journey. My love for helping others and my background in trauma therapy helps me guide my clients to face their fears and live a more joyful and abundant life.
