I’m very lucky. I grew up in a loving family, had a wonderful education, and raised four great kids with my husband, all while pursuing a meaningful career working to lessen the burden of suffering.

 

I worked briefly in the juvenile justice system, earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology, then spent 30 years supporting cancer patients at Wellness House, 20 of which I served as CEO. The experience of losing my mother to lung cancer when I was 22 planted the seed which grew into a passion for helping people affected by cancer.

 

Shortly after retiring in 2019, I became a Board-Certified Coach, and am currently working to help people create the life of their dreams.

 

While my life has been far from perfect, I still feel I’m lucky. I know what it’s like to stand in the truth of my own experience and find a path that not only fed me but served others too.  In other words, I know what it’s like to shine. And I’d love to partner with you so you can shine too.
