I help creatives and women to feel the confidence and freedom to love and express themselves more fully. I’m an artist and mom myself. I know how it feels to struggle to find time for your creative work and to question its value. I want to help you overcome resistance, amplify your creative voice, and live inspired.
I specialize in supporting Individuals/families and couples in practical and emotional aspects of adoption.
In addition, I coach teens who want to explore their issues, build their self-confidence and enhance their personal skills by providing guidance, empathic listening, support in a safe, nurturing environment.

I help parents of children with disabilities transform overwhelm into calm and confidence through 1:1 coaching Martha Beck-style, mindfulness, and Heart Centered and Desire Map exercises created by Danielle LaPorte. I created a coaching program that teaches the 6 skills I learned when my son with Down syndrome was born.
