I bring my skills and education as an attorney, educator, businesswoman, and author to my coaching. I also bring my experience as a mother, wife, caregiver, and coach to my clients.
After many years in the professional work force I have come to understand the value of balance in one’s life. Also, caring for a husband with serious illness taught me not to postpone life’s joys and pleasures. As a co-active coach who understands the importance of considering a person’s whole life, I work with clients to help them express their entire creative selves in all their endeavors.
