Over the years, I’ve experienced significant loss and change, losing my mom, supporting people I love through cancer, the end of my marriage, raising my children through major life transitions, and most recently, losing my dad in late 2024.
Through all of it, there were times when I questioned who I was.
I knew how to keep going. I knew how to take care of the people around me. But somewhere along the way, I realized I had become disconnected from myself.
I also began to understand just how deeply our relationships affect us, the relationships we have with our partners, our families, the people we love, and perhaps most importantly, the relationship we have with ourselves.
What I often needed during those difficult seasons wasn’t someone to give me the answers. I needed an unbiased space where I could talk honestly, sort through what I was feeling, and figure out what I needed.
That experience became an important part of why I chose coaching.
Today, I create that kind of space for others.
“What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.”- Helen Keller
My role isn’t to tell you how your relationships should look or what decision you should make. It’s to help you slow things down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, recognize patterns, explore your needs and boundaries, and find greater clarity about what moving forward looks like for you.
Our sessions are supportive, conversational and led by what you need. We may also incorporate tools such as reflection, breathwork, meditation or visualization when they feel helpful.
I’ve learned that life and relationships rarely come with simple answers.
But having a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing can help you begin finding your own.
