Growing up people came to talk with me since I was in grade school. People would tell me the things they didn't want to tell other people. It was natural for me to want to learn about human behavior and emotions. I got an MSW from Wayne State University in 2004 and became a social worker. My interests have varied throughout my career but I love being able to help people to create a life they love and that starts with learning to master our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in relationships as well as learning to listen to and trust ourselves and our intuition.
