Team Culture Expert &

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, team culture expert, and mental health educator with 20 years of experience helping people navigate life’s most complex emotional challenges—at work and beyond. I partner with organizations to build stronger, healthier workplaces through customized workshops, dynamic trainings, and strategic support for leadership teams.

With a background in therapy and a deep commitment to mental wellness, I bring both clinical insight and real-world practicality to the table. I’ve worked in schools, clinics, nonprofits, and healthcare settings—and I know the toll that stress, burnout, and disconnection can take on even the most passionate professionals.

Also? I’m a foster mom currently in the process of adoption—and sharing that part of my story keeps me grounded in purpose and empathy. My mission is simple: help people feel seen, supported, and empowered to thrive.

My Journey to Coaching:

From Burnout to Boundaries

If you looked up people pleaser in the dictionary, I’m pretty sure my face would’ve been there—smiling politely while saying “yes” to everything and everyone. I was the queen of overcommitting, pushing my own needs aside, and pretending I had it all together. But behind the scenes? Anxiety, exhaustion, and a creeping sense that I was losing myself.

Working in healthcare only amplified that pressure. Like so many helping professionals, I poured everything into others while running on empty myself. And eventually, it caught up to me—burnout, overwhelm, and the realization that something had to change.

That’s when I started doing the real work. I got clear on my values. I redefined success. I learned to say “no” without guilt (okay, less guilt), and built a support system of people who lift me up instead of draining me. I stopped letting the day lead me—and started leading with intention.

Now? I help others do the same. Through workshops, trainings, and coaching, I teach individuals and teams how to set boundaries, protect their energy, and cultivate mental wellness that lasts.

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. There is time for what matters most—and I’m here to help you find it.

Let’s rewrite the story together.

Here’s My Why…

Bringing Strength and Balance to Your Life—at Work and at Home

Family

I’ve always dreamed of having a life filled with love, purpose, and connection—and today, I’m living that dream. My husband has been my greatest support and the inspiration behind my journey into coaching. His unwavering belief in me gave me the space to grow into the person—and professional—I am today.

We live a peaceful, joy-filled life in Western New York, where we’re foster parents to two incredible boys who have completely captured our hearts.

Love

My husband and I faced challenges in starting our own family—an experience that shifted our perspective on what our future might look like. In 2021, we made the decision to become foster parents, and that chapter has been both deeply humbling and incredibly rewarding.

Fostering is an important part of who I am. The experience has shaped the way I lead, listen, and support others—both in life and in business. It’s taught me about resilience, compassion, and the power of showing up, even when the path is uncertain.

This journey continues to inform how I connect with teams, leaders, and individuals—because behind every professional role is a human being navigating a personal story.

Home

Meet Nola and Lucerne—our beloved pups named after two of our favorite places that hold some of our most cherished memories.

Nola is where we got married and continues to be one of our favorite places to visit. Lucerne (aka Lucy) was a breathtaking stop on our European honeymoon—easily the most beautiful place we’ve ever seen. Life just wouldn’t be the same without them.
