About Me
Counseling is a second career for me. With over 10 years as a Human Resources Director, I managed workplace and career optimization issues. While in that career, I obtained my own training and certification as a success coach in personal finance, goal setting/attainment, and natural health. Understanding of eating disorders came about through years of both lived experience and as a single parent. There is also a family history of addiction challenges, and my five years of internship and post-grad work experience was focused there. I witnessed the benefits of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for my addiction clients that motivated me to pursue that training. I have 3 years of experience utilizing it with traditional counseling to get the best results for many types of client issues beyond trauma, including feeling stuck and unable to make real progress in desired areas. Finally, understanding energy and spirituality as they relate to the law of attraction are central components of much of my shared success with clients.
