I am a Trauma-Informed Coach, Mentor, and educational specialist dedicated to guiding individuals through life’s challenges with compassion, encouragement, and practical strategies. With a special focus on youth and trauma, I provide a safe, understanding space for growth, healing, and personal development — all within a non-clinical coaching framework.

My mission is deeply personal. Having faced severe trauma in my youth and navigated PTSD from other trauma-related events in my adult life, I understand firsthand the pain, isolation, and uncertainty these experiences can bring. This lived experience allows me to truly empathize with those I interact with, offering not only knowledge but also genuine understanding and connection.

I am driven by a deep belief in spreading positivity, fostering hope, and helping others embrace the power of living fully in the present moment. I know that change begins when we focus on what we can do today, rather than being weighed down by the past or anxious about the future.

My background blends formal education with specialized training:

- B.A. in Psychology (Summa Cum Laude)

- A.A. in Early Education

- SEL Certified

- Ohio PROMISE Credential – Level 2

- Ohio Trauma-Informed Care – Level 3

- School-Age Endorsement III (Administrator)

- Trauma-Informed Coaching – CPD Certified & IPHM Accredited

- Early Education Specialist with experience across diverse learning environments

I believe in empowering people to discover their strengths, set meaningful goals, and find joy in the journey. Whether you’re seeking direction, resilience, or simply a sounding board, I’m here to support, inspire, and walk alongside you — one positive step at a time.
