As a certified life coach, I work with clients struggling with stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and challenging life transitions. I meet my clients where they are, offering them supportive guidance to overcome their obstacles and shrink their suffering. My approach focuses on compassion, curiosity, and connection. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where you will feel seen, heard, and valued. As my client, you'll experience a blending of evidence-informed tools, mindfulness practices, and somatics that calm the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and reconnect you with your inner strength. Together, we'll rebuild confidence so that you can navigate life's challenges with a calm clarity rooted in your strengths and inner wisdom. We’ll work at a pace that feels right for you, so that you can build skills that will continue to serve you long after our sessions have ended.
I come to this work equipped with a B.A. in Psychology, a Positive Psychology Specialization Certification, and a lifelong passion for self-development. In addition to my coaching work, I am also a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) teacher and love to share the research-backed benefits of mindfulness-meditation with others through private and public presentations. The integration of my coaching tools helps participants gain awareness and insight into their behavior patterns, which then primes them for change.
My book, A Path to Resilience: Small Steps to an Unshakable You, combines ancient wisdom, mindfulness, and modern psychology into tools that can be used to navigate adversity with grace, respond instead of react, and find stability in the midst of uncertainty. Inner peace doesn't depend on perfect circumstances but on practiced perspective. Life will present challenges, and building inner resilience allows us to meet life as it is, not as we wish it to be.
Cold Spring has been my home for the past 16 years. During that time I've raised two daughters while volunteering at The Butterfield Library, Haldane, and within our community. As a past president of the Haldane PTA, I was able to help the school community and inspire other parents to continue creating a more enriching environment, filled with incredible opportunities for Philipstown children. Through my work in this role, I discovered my ability to encourage, inspire, uplift, and help others to believe in themselves and their abilities. I am endlessly grateful for my community.
