About NorthStar
Dedicated to helping individuals discover their strengths, build independence, and move forward with confidence.
Your Guide to a Better Future
For over two decades, I've had the privilege of helping individuals navigate life's challenges and discover their professional potential.
With a Master's of Science Degree and 22 years of professional experience as a vocational counselor, I've worked with people across a wide spectrum of needs—from those just entering the workforce to seasoned professionals seeking new directions. Bilingual services are available in English and Spanish to better serve our diverse community.
My approach is grounded in a simple belief: everyone has unique strengths and abilities that can lead to meaningful work and a fulfilling life. My role is to help you discover those strengths and create a path forward that honors who you are.
