I help to develop our financial advisors and help them achieve their highest potential.

Northwestern Mutual views the recruiting and selection of financial representatives as a mutual selection process. The office evaluates a candidate’s potential for success as a financial representative. At the same time, the candidate evaluates the office’s ability to support each individual’s professional and financial goals. When everything aligns, we have a "mutual fit." My goal is always to recruit the right person, at the right time, for the right reasons.Explore career opportunities by visiting our website, or by sending me a LinkedIn message.

Individual, family and child therapist. Skilled at working with children ages 4-18 struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues and difficult life stages. I am also passionate about helping guide and support all ages with difficult life transitions, psychosocial stressors, and codependency issues.

I have the pleasure of getting to know the most amazing clinical professionals in Orange County in order to provide the best referrals to families in need. I would love to connect with Ed. Psychologists, Psychiatrists, MFTs, LCSWs, Ed. Consultants, Ed. Attorneys, school districts and more. I work with parents to make sure that their children's educational experience is reaching its full potential and also set up volunteering opportunities for students in the local community. In addition, I work with interested families to help them assess if our school is the right fit for them--if not I happily provide needed referrals. Finally I develop, schedule and market community events including professional speaker series, open houses, coffee chats, and film screenings. Please get in touch with me!
