What is your definition of strength?
What about resilience?
​
"The same boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg"
​
We often have the idea that both strength & resilience require toughness & a stoic rebirth of you.
Those of us who have been kicked in the a$% by life tend to be independent & self reliant...
This is often at the cost of our personal relationships or wellness.

Strength & resilience are truly about preserving & protecting yourself from the potential harm of life's happenings by using the resources within you & around you.

Sometimes, even though we are accustomed to handling things alone, the best thing we can do is have someone help us navigate the journey.

My resiliency programs were created to combat stress & prevent burnout.  
Stop settling, start thriving.

a little about my experience & how I got here...

I began working in the helping profession in 2007 as a child protection worker. I was immediately drawn to the hardcore, roll your sleeves up type of work!
The kind that makes you feel like you’re really making a difference in the world.
​The kind that also keeps you awake at night knowing about the evil that lives in the world. I spent the next 10+ years working as a psychotherapist with
High Risk Youth & Adults in areas such as Life Transitions, Trauma, Anxiety & Addiction.

​In 2012 I became an entrepreneur when I opened my own private practice. A place to do things my way & have the creative freedom I longed for. I brought my passion for boxing & fitness into my "tool box" for helping others.
I even employed other clinicians & supervised them for state licensure.  I was also an adjunct professor at Monmouth University.
Guiding others who are natural “givers” through their career & personal transitions became my passion.

I mention my experiences not to read you my resume but to let you know about the valuable lessons I learned from my journey in a helping profession:
Self care & self preservation, specifically for those who serve & help others, is a necessity.
In the altruistic process of taking care of others, we sometimes lose sight of our own needs & even neglect the ones we are aware of.  This lead me to my current destination - Coaching & speaking about the cost of high stress careers & building resilience to prevent burnout.
