I used to feel the way you do.
—anxious, overextended, unfulfilled, and dissatisfied. It seemed like every aspect of my life was so hard, but I couldn’t change any of them.
I had a career, but it was draining and unfulfilling and I felt stuck in it.
My relationships just kept failing, and I didn’t think I would ever find lasting love.
I kept looking for that something more, but I felt lost, overwhelmed, and worried that it wouldn’t even work.
So yes, I have absolutely been there.
Today, I know without a doubt that it’s possible to completely transform your mind, your life, and your relationship with yourself for the better by aligning with your soul and spirit. I did it, and as your coach, I can help you do it, too.
Together, we can get you on a path toward happiness, love, and deep fulfillment, using only the power of your mind, will, and heart. No gimmicks, quick fixes, or medications necessary.
Knowledge and experience
With 10+ years of training and experience as a mental health therapist and even more years of my own personal therapy work, I have tons of knowledge and experience in what works for change, as well as what does NOT work.
Let me say this right now: therapy works. But it does not work for everything or in every way, and it does not work best for everyone. For one, therapy requires you to be “sick” and for the therapist to “treat” you.
The mental health industry paints us all as having sick, fragile, and diseased minds, rather than strong, robust minds that are part of our living bodies and seeking a better direction.
Using what I’ve learned from being a therapist, other fields of study, and my own experience of personal and spiritual healing and transformation, I help women who feel worn out and disconnected from their own lives connect with a more expansive energy and receive themselves with ultimate love and compassion, so they show up fully and wholeheartedly every day.
My personal journey
Heading toward implosion
In 2009, I started graduate school to become a therapist. I was thrilled to help people for a living and finally feel like I was heading somewhere in life.
And then the next eight years was a steady stream of anxiety, self doubt, burnout, depression, heartbreak, self loathing, and an endless cycle of trying to motivate myself to be happy and healthy…
Running a 10K! Going Paleo! Doing Weight Watchers! Dating! Not dating! Quitting my job! Learning the cello!
…that always ended in disappointment, failure, and utter implosion.
Despite this, I kept pushing. By 2016 I was fully self-employed and running a therapy private practice.
I was pulling myself together just enough to show up for clients, then falling apart when I was off the clock.
That fulfilling career that I had imagined was nowhere in sight.
Multiple failed relationships led me to fear that I would never find a husband or have children – two things I very, very much wanted.
I was stuck. I was unhappy. I had chronic insomnia and a terrible relationship with food and exercise. I had been bulimic and smoking cigarettes since I was 19 years old and was afraid I’d never quit either.
I had also been in therapy consistently since 2010.
Breaking point
Then I finally hit a breaking point. Even though I’d been in therapy for 6 years, I was still struggling to just be happy with a life that looked fine on the outside. The shame that I couldn’t get it together was too much to bear.
There has to be another way, I thought. There has to be more than this.
Therapy had taught me how to cope with my shame and self loathing. But I didn’t want to just cope. I wanted to heal. I wanted to overcome. I wanted to transform.
Desperation led to curiosity, and I started to explore mindfulness on a much deeper level than my therapy background had taught me. I connected with core wounded parts of me and learned how to nurture them with love and compassion. I began to see myself as a precious, divine being. I surrendered to my highest, wisest self, who already loved me unconditionally and led me to change my mindset about, well, everything – from what was possible in my career to what kind of man I wanted to date to who I could truly be in life.
Turning point
Through mindfulness, authentic self-love, and unwavering self-compassion, I healed my relationship with my self and all parts of me, including the parts I had felt most ashamed of.
I was able to:
Cure depression, including suicidal ideation
Stop ruminating anxiety
Quit smoking cigarettes
Overcome body dysmorphia, bulimia, and food addiction
Achieve healthy weight loss and stable, long-term weight maintenance
I also eliminated the following chronic life stressors:
Toxic relationship patterns
Codependent relationships with family
Anxious attachment and abandonment fears in dating and friendships
Compassion fatigue and career burnout
Today, I:
live a highly conscious, mindful, peaceful, and soul-driven life
have confidence in my worth, purpose, and wisdom
am in a stable, committed, conflict-free relationship with a wonderful man whom I love and desire
run two successful small businesses that challenge and inspire me
find fulfillment in my career, passion projects, hobbies, relationships, and simply being alive
feel satisfied, motivated, and good enough every day
In short, I have happiness, love, and a truly fulfilling life.
And I did it all by unconditionally loving myself, coming home to my truest nature, and changing my mindset and habits. I have never once taken psychiatric medication (not even sleep meds!), despite several recommendations during the years that I was struggling.
I know from personal experience that significant, life-altering change can happen completely from from deep self-love and healing your relationship with your self!
Now it’s your turn.
I had my final personal therapy session in September 2022, over 12 years after I first started. Everything that I learned and practiced during that time helped me get where I am today, but it was the spiritual journey home to loving my self that brought me to true happiness.
In a coaching framework, which is very different from therapy and can include energetic heart and soul work, I can help you get the same results in 6-12 weeks, instead of 12 years.
These methods work, and I want to share them with you. I don’t want to label you as sick, fragile, or diseased and “treat” you for years in order to do it. As your coach, I see you as already strong, determined, and happiness-minded, and I want to join with you in uncovering and championing the deepest, truest parts of you to start start living fully, confidently, and wholeheartedly.
