About

There's a reason I do this work.

My path to coaching wasn't planned — it was lived.

Coach portrait

My story

I was 42 when my marriage ended. After 20 years together, two children, and a life I had carefully built, I found myself standing in the middle of a story I didn't recognize. I was overwhelmed, exhausted, and desperately searching for someone who could help me find solid ground. I had experienced years of abuse and parental alienation from my own kids.

What I discovered in that search for healing and restoration changed everything. I couldn't find a coach who truly understood the intersection of the emotional, the practical, and the deeply personal. So I did the work myself—starting with a master's in clinical mental health, my own therapy, more training, and honest self-examination— and eventually became the guide I had needed.

Today, I work with men and women navigating all kinds of life transitions — divorce, legal battles, addiction, mental health concerns, alienation, life and career reinvention, and the deeper questions of purpose and identity. My clients are smart, capable people who find themselves at a crossroads. My job isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you hear yourself clearly enough to know.

My approach

Coaching rooted in grace and truth, not judgment.

I believe that life's hardest transitions — divorce, career upheaval, identity shifts — can be among the most profound catalysts for growth. Not because the pain doesn't matter, but because of what becomes possible on the other side. My coaching is built on deep listening, honest reflection, and practical tools that help you move forward — not just cope.

Compassion first

Every session begins with where you are, not where I think you should be. There is no judgment here — only curiosity and care.

Practical and personal

We work on both the emotional and the tactical. Feelings matter. So does having a plan. You deserve both.

Forward-focused

We honor what was. And then we turn toward what's next. The goal is always a life you're genuinely excited to live.
