My Oasis
Finding an Oasis in a variety of environments has been a passion of mine since childhood! Whether the serenity of a pine tree in my front yard, the edge of an ocean pier, a twisted vine outside my office, a rushing river, mountain meadow, or a corner of my room sprouting lush foliage (and perhaps a content cat)... In my Oasis - wherever it may be - I have found comfort, connection, and at times, a spark of inspiration.
Now, I have the joy of supporting you in discovering or creating your own personal Oasis (if this appeals to you!). Regardless, we will cultivate a safe and peaceful space in our sessions, as you aspire toward what you really want in life.
My Background
Raised in Southern California, I have resided in Northern California for the past 20 years. My educational journey was deeply rooted in both helping others and personal growth, earning a B.S. in Social Science and an M.S. in Marriage and Family Therapy.
After time spent along meaningful career paths, I have now (in my 50s), discovered my true passion as a Certified Life Coach! I deeply appreciate the opportunity to connect with clients no matter where they are (residing and/or along their life path).
Diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis as a child, I have persisted through physical challenges most of my life. I believe this experience—along with my introspective nature, beliefs, and adventurous spirit—has profoundly shaped my empathy, compassion, and ability to support and encourage others.
My Philosophy
In my experience, I get the sense that we humans feel most "content" (at peace, fulfilled) when we are in tune with our True Selves. I believe that taking time away from everyday concerns (on a daily or weekly basis) gives us the space to do so.
As a personal life coach, I am grateful for the opportunity to support individuals in discovering and following through with whatever it is that helps one reconnect and feel more at peace, fulfilled, and inspired.
