My story…

 

…the one that brought me to therapeutic work, began when I was in my mid-twenties and had my own first experience with a therapist.

At the time my love life wasn’t living up to my hopes and I wanted a better understanding of what was getting in the way.

Some thirty-odd years ago now, going to therapy was something I felt a lot of shame about. I felt flawed, broken, and didn’t want to share those parts of myself with someone else, but finding the courage to reach out to my therapist led to more sharing than I ever expected.

We met for traditional one-on-one therapy, but soon she was encouraging me to participate in group therapy. I’ll admit that I questioned group, but tried it because I trusted her, and through it found answers and a new path.

That experience with group therapy changed my life so significantly that not only did I meet and marry my husband during that time, I also made the decision to leave my career as a graphic designer and become a therapist myself, getting a Master’s in Social Work from NYU, and dedicating my life to helping others lead lives that they truly love.

During my nearly three decades as a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and coach I have run hundreds of groups, and continue to find therapeutic groups to be an incredibly powerful way to foster emotional growth.

But it’s in the action-focused coaching work that I have seen the most lasting change and have landed on the role as a personal development coach. I have combined my two most powerful tools—group and individual coaching—to create my transformational coaching program, Activate. My biggest focus in this work is to help people identify and clear the Energetic Clutter in their way so they can focus on and build a life around what matters most to each of them.

For some extra-incredible transformational experiences, I offer two powerful ways to support your personal growth:

The Unlimiting App helps you clear the thoughts and patterns that hold you back, so you can move through life with more clarity and ease. It’s a space designed to support your inner work daily—whether you're shifting limiting beliefs, tuning into your intuition, or staying focused on what truly matters.

Your Brilliance in Action is my signature course, designed to help you identify and clear Energetic Clutter, strengthen your connection to your intuition, and focus your energy with intention. Through a structured four-pillar process, you'll gain the clarity and momentum needed to create meaningful change in your life.

Both offerings provide a grounded, accessible way to engage in personal transformation—whether you prefer the daily integration of The Unlimiting App or the deeper guidance of Your Brilliance in Action. However you choose to begin, you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

My own life gets lit up by this work, as well as by my 30-plus-year marriage, my two incredible, grown daughters, my adorable dachshund Dudley, a crackling fire, a hike in the woods, hanging with friends, and a really good rom-com.
