    Are you an entrepreneur that wants to take it to the next level? 100% of my coaching clients have shared they are more clear, inspired and energized after working with me. Let me help you find your mojo! I am a Top Rated Plus Business Coach on Upwork with 100% satisfaction score, contact me today! ⚡︎I can help you if you are struggling with these challenges: ● "I have no idea on how to get started with my startup" ● "Life has been chaotic and I need to get clear on my direction " ● "I don't have the energy or motivation right now to grow my business" ● "I want to get to the next level and I am not sure how to get there" ● "I'm starting a new chapter in my life and I need someone to hold me accountable" ● "HELP! I'm overwhelmed and I don't know what to do next" I focus on working with entrepreneurs with startups or small businesses. The process: Who are you? You are the main factor in your success. Why should your business exist? A purpose. How do you do things? Something that makes you unique. What do you offer? Your product or service. All success revolves around the answers to these four questions. All failure comes from a lack of understanding these questions. This is my method. It does not matter if you are a startup or an existing business, this is the core of your work and journey. A client had dozens of business ideas, I helped him launch just one. A client stopped chasing 3 different startups and now is an executive in a new business. One client grew from 5 to 50 employees in just two years. Let's get on a call today! We can set up an initial zoom call in a free 30 min consultation and I will explain how my process will get you the results you are wanting.

    I am here to help with any of your job search needs! I love editing resumes and helping individuals get their next jobs. If hired for your next freelance role I would be excited to prepare you for interviews, update/create a beautiful or ATS-friendly resume, write you a cover letter, or even conduct mock interviews. If you're struggling to find a job we can work together to figure out why. Many times the format of a resume doesn't translate well into a company's HRIS system, which means your resume may not even be seen. Maybe you are preparing for an interview but are not sure if a question is appropriate, let's talk about it. Salary is always a touch subject, I'd love to do some research into the market and area and let you know what a reasonable amount to ask for is. If you are getting interviews or callbacks, but can't seem to figure out why you never hear back after that, let's figure it out together! My full-time job is in the HR field, but my favorite hobby is design, marketing, and being creative. I opened my Etsy shop in 2020 and have been putting my spare time into that. I love creating listing designs and making them functional yet attractive.

    Hello! I'm a licensed mental health counselor and here to help you with creating mental health content. I’m new to Upwork, but I have nearly 15 years of clinical counseling experience. I’ve worked for the same agency for over 10 years, although at different sites and in different positions. I specialize in substance use disorders, depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, schizophrenia, and personality disorders. I am the creator and author of Mind Remake Project, a therapy resource site, where I have been writing and publishing content since 2018. As an undergrad student, I worked as a psychology research assistant, and my research study was published in an international undergraduate journal. I enjoy writing about any and all mental health and related topics.
