NYC Life Coaching: Breaking Barriers and Building Futures One Step at a Time

Life doesn’t always follow the plan. It challenges us. It pushes us. Sometimes, it knocks us off our path entirely.

But here’s the truth — you can reclaim your direction, your confidence, and your “right now.”

I bring nearly 20 years in the mental health field, more than a decade in advocacy, and 10 years in the corporate sector. That experience isn’t just a résumé — it’s the foundation of a trauma-informed, results-driven approach to life coaching that is both compassionate and uncompromising.

I don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions. I meet you exactly where you are, and together, we design a path forward that gets you moving again — stronger, clearer, and ready for what’s next.
