After years of working in the mental health field—as a counselor, social worker, and advocate—I’ve seen how people crave more than just support; they want action, direction, and the tools to truly change their lives. I’ve also seen that not everyone needs therapy in the traditional sense. Many people are simply looking for guidance, new ways to cope, and a partner in reaching their goals. I’m ready to meet that need. That’s why I’m offering Pillar’s Path Coaching, a more personal, hands-on approach to wellness. This isn’t about diagnosis or traditional counseling. It’s about building a working relationship that focuses on your goals and your growth. Coaching is about being heard, not judged; supported, not directed; and encouraged to find practical ways to manage life’s challenges and become the best version of yourself. It’s time for something different. Something grounded in compassion, intuition, and actionable steps forward. If you’re ready to create balance, build resilience, and take charge of your life, I’m ready to walk that path with you.
