I ​

With a wealth of experience and a deeply empathetic perspective, I’ve had the privilege of guiding individuals through the challenges they face along their life paths. My own journey has granted me a profound understanding of the human experience—across diverse age groups, life stages, gender identities, and cultures.

 

I was raised in Monmouth County, NJ, and earned a BA in Family Science and Human Development from Montclair State University. I began my professional path in the Newark, NJ school system before transitioning into child welfare as a social worker. After moving to Maryland, I continued my work as a social worker in a skilled nursing facility.

 

Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience working with children and adolescents, creating individualized curricula tailored to various learning styles. While living in Tokyo, I founded and led a women’s support group, offering spiritual and emotional guidance to those navigating major life transitions.

 

Becoming a widow while raising five children deeply shaped my personal and professional growth. It inspired me to expand my education, leading to the completion of graduate-level counseling courses and commissioning as a lay pastoral minister. I also hold certifications in grief and bereavement, the law of attraction, Reiki (as a master practitioner), emotional intelligence, and clinical Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT).
