"Meant-to-Mentor" Bio​

​

I am a professional certified life coach for teens and young adults, with additional certifications in crisis recovery coaching, confidence and emotional intelligence coaching, career coaching and cognitive behavioral therapy. I specialize in providing the guidance and effective life skills needed to navigate through the challenges that life presents.  At a time when academic, social and emotional pressures can be so demanding, we work together to clarify goals and identify obstacles, recognize thought patterns and behaviors, and create happiness and empowerment!

 

I have extensive experience working with teens and young adults as an educator and as a  mentor. In addition to life coaching, I am a NY and NJ certified teacher of music, K-12. My degrees include a BS in Music Education from Hofstra University, and an MA in Music Performance from the Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College. I have always had a psychological approach to my teaching, with a philosophy of presenting music as a joy in life, not only a skill. This led so naturally into the field of life coaching. I adore my clients and students, and we do life together.

 

In addition to individual coaching sessions, I offer group coaching classes as well. My classes provide a nurturing and cohesive environment in which we bond friendships and work together to build and strengthen self-love, self-confidence, self-trust and accountability.
