About Me

Are you looking for more happiness, love, excitement, and freedom in your life? Do you want meaningful relationships with the important people around you? If you’re here, I’m guessing there’s at least one area of your life that’s not working out the way you’d hoped. The good news is—you’re in the right place! My desire to help others with their own relationship challenges has led to Mentarena. Short for “Mental Arena,” my goal is to provide a supportive arena for individuals, couples and families wishing to optimize their lives through relationship building. What I love most about my work is helping everyone, both clients and non-clients, find ways to put joy and passion back into their lives.

How I like to coach

My coaching style focuses on moving you forward from where you are to where you want to be. Our coaching sessions are solution-focused. In focusing on the “how” rather than the “why,” I empower you to set growth promoting goals and support you to follow through. As a certified professional life/relationship coach and a former school counselor, my coaching style is best described as intuitive, innovative, research-based, engaging and most of all, effective.

Professional and life experience

I have been a spouse for 27 years and have experienced first-hand the challenges of maintaining a marriage built on trust and commitment while keeping the spark of passion alive. As a parent of three, I’ve also faced the issues most parents are confronted with, such as the struggle to maintain a healthy relationship with your children while they grow up and reach for their own independence.
