My education, training, and personal experiences have all led me to the coaching field.

I earned a BA in History from Trinity College, Hartford, CT; an MSW from The Silver School of Social Work at NYU; and a professional coaching certification from The Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC). In each of these experiences, I loved understanding how people respond to their environments, what motivates them, and how they overcome obstacles.

For several years of my early career in corporate training and development, I focused on helping employees at various worldwide firms grow by fostering communication and management skills. As a parent, I have devoted myself to helping our children reach their potential and achieve their goals at every stage of their lives. Now, as a coach, I support adults looking to create a new chapter, reach their potential, and thrive professionally and personally. Three common themes have underscored my values throughout my adult life: development, enrichment, and fulfillment.

At age 11, I faced the sudden loss of a parent from cardiac arrest, and in my early 30’s I lost a sibling to cancer. These losses have shaped my outlook on life and taught me vital lessons about working through life’s transitions. More specifically, I learned how to move from a place of pain to one of acceptance, search for resolution, and ignite a desire to progress. Helping others gain clarity to move forward is my #1 mission.

My philosophy boils down to one premise: learning is a lifelong process.

At any age, you have the opportunity to grow, broaden your horizons, and achieve your goals. If you are willing to be flexible, open-minded, and non-judgmental, and if you welcome the multiplicity of ideas and possibilities, then you have the opportunity to thrive. A career or life challenge need not be paralyzing; rather, it can be an opportunity to harness your potential by translating options into intentions and dreams into realities.

This is what it means to Thrive365.

To thrive every day is to strive to live your best life. None of us is perfect. Thrive365 is about accepting your imperfections, fits and starts, doubts and insecurities, and moving forward anyway — it is about investing the time you need to progress to the next stage of your life. I look forward to partnering with you as you seek new beginnings, a sense of fulfillment, and meaningful growth in your own life.
