Once upon a time…
About Me
I began my professional career in New York City, working full time as a Lead Counselor at a respected mental health and recovery agency. This was work I had trained extensively for and excelled in. I entered the field with a clear vision: to grow into leadership, advance into supervisory roles, and eventually step into a director-level position. I was ambitious, driven, and deeply committed to both my clients and my professional development.
As my responsibilities increased, so did the demands of the role. Long hours, organizational politics, and the pressures of a high-volume clinical environment gradually took a toll. While my work with clients remained meaningful and impactful, I began to experience the very burnout and emotional exhaustion I so often helped others navigate. It became clear that sustained success required a different approach—one rooted in balance, intention, and long-term sustainability.
Along comes baby…
Around this time, I became a father, and that moment fundamentally reshaped my priorities. Shortly after my son’s birth, our family faced an unexpected challenge when he was diagnosed with a condition that required consistent care and close attention. After thoughtful reflection and many difficult conversations, I made the decision to step away from my role and become a stay-at-home parent so I could fully support my family during a critical chapter in our lives.
Leaving a career I had spent years building was not an easy decision. It required redefining my understanding of success and stepping into unfamiliar territory. Yet this period became one of profound personal and professional growth. Being present for my child’s milestones, providing hands-on care, and navigating the daily realities of parenting deepened my understanding of resilience, patience, emotional regulation, and early childhood development. It also gave me valuable insight into behavioral management, family dynamics, and the lived experience of caregiving—knowledge that continues to inform my work today.
As time passed, I felt a growing pull to re-engage professionally—to contribute, to create, and to support others in a meaningful and practical way. That opportunity came when former colleagues reached out, asking if I would facilitate a small recovery support group. Drawing on my background in group facilitation and strengths-based practice, I accepted without hesitation.
What began as work with a handful of individuals quickly grew through word of mouth. Clients responded to my grounded, personalized approach to recovery and behavioral health—one focused on accountability, clarity, and sustainable change rather than rigid formulas. Over time, this work evolved into a thriving coaching practice, serving individuals and couples seeking deeper alignment in their personal lives, relationships, and professional pursuits.
“Ask the universe what you want, and it will provide.”
Today, I have the privilege of working closely with clients from diverse backgrounds, helping them navigate transitions, rebuild trust, strengthen relationships, and create lives that feel both successful and meaningful. Many of my clients have gone on to grow profitable businesses, publish articles and books, improve focus and productivity, and achieve a healthier balance between work and life.
My work is rooted in real-world experience, professional training, and a deep respect for the complexity of human growth. I believe lasting change happens when people feel supported, understood, and empowered to move forward with intention. It’s an honor to walk alongside my clients as they do just that.
