I've known since childhood that I was meant to serve others. From classmates seeking advice in elementary school to clients in my private practice today, I've always held space for people to feel seen, safe, and supported.

After earning my Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Washington University in St. Louis and completing my Master’s and Doctorate degrees at Loyola College Maryland, I spent the next 20+ years working with individuals, couples, families, schools, and organizations to help people improve their mental health, strengthen relationships, and navigate life with greater ease.

Along the way, I realized that even with all the tools I shared with others, I wasn’t always using them for myself. Working with my first coach provided awareness that I was showing up in meaningful ways at work, but not consistently for myself or in the life I had worked so hard to create.

That wake up call led me to pursue certification in professional coaching through iPEC, where I rediscovered the importance of living in alignment with my values. The No Stress Coaching System was born out of this journey. It’s a framework designed to help high-achieving professionals reduce stress, realign with what matters most, and create lasting change from the inside out.
