Empowering You to Achieve Your Best Life

As a result of early emotional injuries, I became intent on amassing vast knowledge about the psyche and the spirit. Years of study, though, and I still didn't know how to be in relationship with others. I feared people. I feared rejection. And so I hid. I hid until I realized that hiding is incredibly lonely. 

It wasn't until I took the first baby step toward true and lasting connection that healing became possible. I started showing up, being vulnerable, listening with discernment, and communicating my needs. In that, I discovered that the biggest obstacle in creating a life I love was Me, and that I now had the power to change it all. 

Book smarts have evolved into practical skill as my journey has continued. I have learned from the teachings of outstanding scholars and therapists, including Dr. Sue Johnson, Dr. Alexandra Solomon, Diane Poole Heller, Susan Scott, Gabor Maté , and others. 

Formal trainings include:

• 9-month Relationship Mastery certification
• 60-hour Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate Program at the Embody Lab
• Completion of Relationship Coach training
• Completion of the UnShamed program at the Sante Fe Institute for Shame-Based Studies
• Couples coach training at the Couples Institute
• Currently training at The Insight Coaching Community

I also have direct experience with Somatic Experiencing and nervous system regulation practices. 

The insights gained through decades of study, as well as being in relationship and raising a family, now serve as the foundation for my personal growth and the work I do with clients. 

I consider it an honor to walk alongside you as you create your best life!
