I’ve lived the transformation of a butterfly—breaking free, struggling, and emerging stronger. My own cocooning process shaped me into the leader I am today.

With over 25 years as a licensed social worker, I’ve helped people heal from trauma, depression, and anxiety, grief and other life stressors. In 2011, I founded the Youth Guidance Working on Womanhood program in Chicago, which later expanded nationally. Along the way, I mentored and trained future leaders, preparing them to carry the torch when I stepped back. But getting here wasn’t easy.

At first, I doubted myself—was I really ready for leadership? Will I fail? It took years of self-reflection, trial and error, and a strong support system to embrace the leader in me.

Now, through Cocoon Consulting, I help others navigate their own transformation—offering the guidance, tools, and insight needed to break free and take flight.

Are you ready for your next step? Let’s soar together.
