​About Me:

My professional style is solution focused, practical, down to earth, accepting, and positive.  I work primarily with women who are working towards a wellness goal such as eliminating emotional eating, managing empath overload, or figuring out how to even have a wellness plan within the context of work/family/life.  I am on a holistic wellness journey myself and have learned so much over the years:  how to accept and love myself, how to regulate my nervous system, how to accept my own feelings, and how to stop reaching for food as an attempt to make myself feel better.  I've also learned how to set specific, measurable goals to ensure success.  In working with clients I use the information and strategies I've learned in my own coaching education, as well as what I've learned personally in my own life.  I've been there myself and continue to learn and grow and heal!

​

I have also been in the mental health field since 1995 and value our inner emotional state of mind.  You may wonder what's the difference between therapy and coaching.  While therapy can help with a diagnosed mental health issue, coaching isn't intended to diagnose or treat any mental health disorder. (In other words: therapy helps people with a clinical level of need,  and coaching helps people with a non-clinical level of need).  And while therapy often involves looking into the past to figure out the "why" for our behavior, coaching involves looking forward to figure out the "how". 

 

The ultimate focus for wellness coaching is living life to the fullest and getting clarity on goals for the present and the future. 

​

More about me personally:  I grew up in upstate NY, then moved to Baltimore, Maryland for graduate school and lived there for about 8 years.  I then moved to Denver in 2001 for a job and adventure. I live in Colorado with my two kids, my husband, a dog, two cats, and a turtle.  I also love hiking, camping, gardening, reading, and everything Colorado has to offer!
