As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, life coach, parenting coach and former teacher and school counselor, my goal is to help you get clear about what you really want and assist you in transforming your life and the lives of your children. My private practice is in Mokena, IL, and I have over 26 years experience as a therapist - in addition to 32 years experience working as a high school counselor. Before that, I spent 13 years working as an elementary school teacher. I've truly learned so much along the way, both from my successes and failures.

I absolutely believe in the power of "Unstoppable Grit" in creating the life of your dreams. Transformation does not have to be a long, painstaking process. Step-by-step, I will support you in developing the skills you need to achieve whatever it is you are searching for - increased self-confidence, better relationships, improved parenting skills, emotional peace and stability, stress reduction, family harmony, etc. I see our relationship as a partnership. My role is to assist you as you develop the ability be a tenacious leader of your own life, regardless of the obstacles that might come your way.

In addition to working with individuals struggling with personal issues, I truly enjoy helping couples develop better and stronger relationships. I am also passionate about assisting parents who are dealing with the challenges of raising "gritty" children in the 21st century.

I'd love to partner with you in creating your own dream-come-true life!
