I founded STARS Kids Life Coaches in 2019 to help children address the many challenges with growing up in today’s frenetic society. Whether it’s developing a growth mindset or dealing with adversity, I’m passionate about empowering young people with the resilience and confidence to succeed.
In a 30-year career as a schoolteacher, I learned the critical importance of a caring and quality school experience. I also came to appreciate the limitations of what can be accomplished in the classroom to create the self-acceptance, self-awareness and coping tools that many children require to succeed. That was the inspiration that led me to become a life coach. Now, I can focus on the unique needs and thinking patterns of an individual child. Whether he or she faces typical challenges in our competitive academic environment or is struggling with a learning disability, attention deficit, or lack of self-esteem, it is a joy for me to be a partner in each individual journey.
Besides a career teaching diverse groups of children in the classroom, I’ve invested in a lifetime of learning. In addition to an undergraduate degree in elementary education and a master’s in education and psychology, I’ve taken an additional 65 credits that prepared me for an array of coaching challenges. They include specialized certified training in social skills, conflict resolution, LGBTQ youth, mindfulness, anxiety disorders, and cognitive and behavioral awareness.
