About Me

Over a decade ago, working as an actor and writer in LA, I became disabled from what would years later be diagnosed as Lyme disease. I had debilitating chronic pain and severe fatigue and needed help with basic needs for several years.  I picked up physical and mental coping mechanisms as best I could, but it took many years to learn techniques to approach various daily activities and productivity differently. 

Then a few years ago, I fell into a part-time job where I trained to be an executive functioning coach for teenage students. A light bulb went off as I realized there was a need for these skills to be applied to adults with chronic illness, ADHD, and creatives. From there, I decided to become a certified coach and chose the Chopra program, where I learned to meditate when I first got sick. Through my training and work as a coach, I bolstered my knowledge on the things that helped me and learned new approaches  that would have been invaluable to know during my journey,  and could not wait to help more people.

I am from Connecticut originally and have lived in Los Angeles since college. I love and miss New England autumn, snow, and barns and visit my family there often! 

My favorite forms of self-care are walks without my phone at sundown, daily meditation (even if it's just a couple minutes!), and Qigong. I like to have music playing often, love a good jigsaw puzzle, and enjoy self-growth, humor and historical fiction books. 

Alongside coaching, I continue to act, sing, and write, and create content surrounding awareness of Lyme and other chronic and invisible illnesses.
