In my fourth year of teaching high school English, I attended a year-long life coaching program and received my certification in 2011 from the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching. As a Certified Professional Life Coach, founder of Limitless Heart Life Coaching, LLC (est. 2011), and author of Leap Before You Look; Seven Steps to Discover Who You Are, What You Want, and How to Change the World (2014), I specialized in life purpose coaching and college counseling from 2011-2022. Having been a yoga and Pilates instructor for five years in my mid-twenties, I fused life coaching techniques with mindfulness and meditation, knowing that the way to best optimize an individual’s potential is to foster emotional, physical, and spiritual growth.

 

Wanting to reach a broader base of clients, I attended Pepperdine University’s Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy program. In my final year at Pepperdine (2021), I interned at Cancer Support Community of Los Angeles, where I facilitated support groups and worked individually with clients who were currently undergoing cancer cancer treatments or were post treatment, as well as caregivers of those who have cancer. As a current Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with clients from all age groups, specifically couples and families who have gone or are going through infertility and/or family planning. 

 

I have done numerous teaching videos for eHow and conducted several social-emotional workshops. I am the Curriculum Director for True Connection, a non profit that provides SEL, mindfulness, and art programs to various institutions. As Curriculum Director, I created HiEQ, a social-emotional learning curriculum to be integrated into classrooms, as well as SEL Online Foundations, an online social-emotional learning course in partnership with the University of Massachusetts Global.
