My Journey, and How I Support Yours
With over 30 years of coaching, teaching, and guiding kids and parents, I bring real-world experience and heart to every client.
The memory of choosing a major/profession STILL haunts me to this day!
So much so, I wrote a book about it so "kids" today
can avoid that pain and struggle.
And then, I wrote a parallel text for adults.
A passion of mine is to use my struggles to help others navigate theirs.
I have done the research, survived the experiences, and road tested it out.
Now I would love to share that insight with you!

About Me
I'm a certified coach, K–12 teacher, consultant, author, presenter, proud parent and stepparent.
I understand the challenges, and I'm here to help you with yours. I tap into my own personal struggles - Who am I supposed to be? How do I choose a profession? Why am I here? What is my purpose?, and lenses – divorce, disconnect in families, job disappointment, single parenting, self-reinventing.
I am motivated to help others identify and attain goals both individually and for families.
I have hosted a multitude of workshops for teachers, administrators, parents, consultants and communities.
I love to share my knowledge and experiences with people!
This love of sharing is the inspiration I used to write my two books. The books are for people looking to connect their passions and strengths to a fulfilling life. Let's see what we can do together.
It's all relative.
My dad,
showing off word searches I buy to challenge his executive function skills and set goals to complete the books!
My mom
My daughter, and
editor of early book drafts, Katherine.

Mom at her first tai chi class.
A goal she wanted to accomplish.
She now attends a class near her every week! Yay!
Alex, my son, read my draft in one seating. He also came to my first workshop, where he listed some goals that he has already made happen!👏
My son James is my IT hero.
He solves all of my computer problems; even saving my book draft from disappearing!
