About me & my Approach
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by how people grow, heal, and make sense of their lives—beyond the curated versions we show the world. I’m drawn to turning points, inner resilience, and the meaning we create along the way.
Some of that started early. I grew up alongside a brother with mental illness (and likely autism, had the diagnosis been available then). His challenges shaped my family in ways I’m still understanding, and they shaped me, too—especially my instinct to listen deeply, stay steady, and be “the responsible one.”
As an adult, life brought more terrain to navigate: grief, trauma, and learning how neurodivergence shows up in the people I love. Therapy, mindfulness, movement, spiritual grounding, and community helped me build something I now call emotional endurance—the ability to stay present with what’s real, without pretending it’s easier than it is and ultimately practice Doing Joy Mindfully, every day.
That understanding eventually led me to coaching.
Grounded, compassionate, and practical.
Together we build clarity, reduce overwhelm, and create structures that support your emotional and everyday life. I'm not here to diagnose or treat—I'm here to walk with you as you navigate what's real and find your next steps.
