An MSN-educated RN, a certified Life and Wellness Coach. I work with individuals who struggle with mental health and addictions, trauma and grief, and family and relationships. I have been a registered nurse for over twenty years. I combine the tenets of health and well-being by using my expertise in nursing along with additional education in life and wellness coaching to assist and empower you to make lifestyle changes to improve your physical and emotional health.

Mental Health and addition

I empower and encourage you to gain the skills and knowledge you need to overcome your obstacles. I understand your needs and help to clarify your value and purpose, enhance your stress management, bolster your emotional well-being, and challenge your negative thinking pattern. I use emotional intelligence to help you identify and manage substance use disorders

Trauma and grief

I have experienced trauma and grief; I can say I understand. I listen, I collaborate with you and offer trauma-informed care: safety, trust, choice, cultural sensitivity, and empowerment. I create a safe space and a supportive environment; I validate your emotions and experiences; and allow you to explore your thoughts and feelings related to grief, and help you develop coping skills.

Family and Relationships

If you are interested in enhancing your family and improving your relationships, I can help. I use family/relationship interventions and empowerment as an approach to help families improve their relationships. I can help to enhance your communication and develop skills like empathy and goal setting; help you separate what you can and cannot control, and bring awareness to hidden feelings of fear, resentment, and avoidance.
