ABOUT ME

I started my path by working backward.  Instead of immediately going to college, I found myself trying out different types of jobs ranging from business to art, to science.  I found a love of photography by accident and thought it would be my path.  Although it continues to be a passion, I wanted to understand more about what was behind the eyes of those looking out from the photographs.  Wanting to understand people, what makes them tick, and why they choose their path led me to become a psychologist.  After years of working as a clinical professional, I still had the desire to bring my business knowledge and creative side into play and started asking the questions what else could I do and thus found coaching and consulting. As I have grown so has my formal learning and my sense of inner calm.  I am able to bring together what I feel are my strengths to help others find their uniqueness.  I am passionate about continuing my path of providing strategic and collaborative consultation to organizations as well as taking executives and others who want to grow and explore on their personal journey.
