About Me

I am a life coach working with people who suffer from depression. My own personal success story about overcoming major depression has inspired me to share my story with others -- my first-hand knowledge of depression, coping strategies, management, and treatments. I believe that someone suffering from depression can benefit tremendously from self-inquiry, psychotherapy and practicing mindfulness. I have a degree from Hunter College where I majored in cultural anthropology. Thus, I have a deep respect for and awareness of each one's cultural background.

I'm a Late Bloomer in Life


I was exhilarated at finally realizing that my destiny is uniquely mine, and my purpose is as unique as my thumbprint, different from those of other human beings.  I understand that now.  I cannot possibly live the life of the majority or the chosen exactly as it is.  Fitting in seems so silly now.

The journey to the truth regarding my Self is a mysterious one.  Along the way I found golden nuggets of truth about love, responsibility, work, possibilities, desires, propensities, confidence, freedom, liberation, etc...that still shake me to my core.  I relish the moments of realizations with great satisfaction.  Life is a process and a work in progress.  I welcome the unknown parts of me, until such time when the truth is revealed.  I look forward to the journey with great anticipation...until the end of time.  This is my work.

Misbeliefs


You've spent your life accumulating evidence to prove that what you (subconsciously) believe about yourself is true. Things like, "I'm not loveable", "I'm not good enough", "I don't matter", etc, etc, etc. Now, CONSCIOUSLY focus on the abundant evidence in your life that demonstrates who you really are - compassionate, loving, kind, lovable, etc, etc, etc. You've created your life out of misbeliefs. There's no shame or guilt associated with that, because it's not bad or wrong. You've just believed things that aren't true, and there's plenty of evidence in your life to prove what is true. Just shift your focus.
