• Wellnes Coach

  • Feb 2013 - Present

  As a health and wellness coach my passion is helping others identify and achieve their wellness goals. We work together to remove the self limiting thoughts, behaviors and habits keeping them "stuck". In a non-threatening, creative atmosphere they learn to cultivate and leverage their personal strengths and talents to live the lives they want. If you are interested in empowering yourself to live a healthier, more balanced lifestyle with greater well being and clarity on your personal and professionals goals I can help. I provide individual and group wellness coaching focusing on anything from nutrition and mindful eating, to anger and stress management, to empowering relationship with yourself and others, or effective leadership and communication.

Center for Teacher Effectiveness

• National Trainer

  • Nov 2013 - Present

  Teachers lose on average between 5-7 hours of instruction time a week addressing low level misbehavior in their classrooms. I help teachers get back that lost time and do what they love to do -TEACH! I use my skills as a Clinical Social Worker, Graduate School Field Instructor and Public Speaker to present dynamic "Time To Teach" classroom management workshops for Teachers and School. These strategies and techniques are powerful, practical and research based. They can be used in any classroom, at any grade level with immediate positive results and are proven to reduce low level misbehavior, improve academic performance and empower teachers! Show less

• Psychotherapist

  • Feb 2014 - Jun 2016

  Life is full of challenges! Therapy is one of the greatest tools we have to work through these challenges. As a practical, interactive, solution-focused therapist my goal is to address current struggles and relieve emotional distress as quickly as possible. My focus is on working together with clients to identify the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are contributing to their struggles and finding solutions that work. Using a blended approach incorporating principles of Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Behavior Modification techniques and Mindfulness strategies I help clients gain insight, discover their inner strength and develop skills to break free from the impact of past events, self defeating behaviors and negative thinking. I specialize in life challenges: anxiety, chronic sorrow, unresolved grief, divorce, loss, aging (self and/or loved one), unsatisfying relationships, medical crises, surviving cancer, chronic illness, trauma recovery and poor school/work performance. I also have expertise in women's issues including hormonal imbalances, poor body image and negative self story telling. Show less
