By the simple act of finding my website,  you’ve taken the first step towards finding a better life for yourself, your colleagues, or others you care about. All of the information you will find here is based on a combination of my extensive academic training, my experience as a psychologist, and the life lessons I have gained from the opportunities I’ve taken.

It is my sincere wish that my website will inspire you to find the courage you need to hone your creativity, improve your business and personal skills, and to grab the opportunities that come your way.

You already have everything you need to live an amazing life – because the ultimate answer to life, the universe and everything is not 42*, nor EQ nor IQ, but rather…YOU-Q!

What do I mean by "YOU-Q"?

YOU-Q is your own unique intelligence, creativity and wisdom. It encompasses your belief in your own worth, being uniquely you, and the way you interact with others. (Click here to read more about YOU-Q.)

I believe we are all born with the tools we need to carve out a Be-YOU-tiful life for ourselves. Life, however, often gets in the way, and we can lose what we never knew we had in the first place! 

I would like to help you rediscover your YOU-Q.
