About Me

I help you find grace in the truth of who you are.

My entire life has been about soul-discovery. I’ve kept a journal since I was in 5th grade and have spent thousands of hours reading and studying self-help and self-improvement topics over the last 2 decades. In my 20’s, I took this love of research and writing to law school and into a career as a lawyer. However, it turned out that my favorite part of being an attorney was counseling and coaching my clients.

As a self-help junkie, I got really good at digging deep and asking hard questions. As a lawyer, I got really good at analyzing and evaluating the stories we tell ourselves about an event. Together, they make for a pretty awesome skillset when it comes to helping you on your journey – and, I perfected them on my own.

I believe the best coaches are those who’ve had to live their own advice.

My experience has been hard-won.

When I was 25, my dad died of pancreatic cancer, I rescued myself from a toxic relationship, and later that year chose abortion after a one-night stand while identifying as a Christian. The grief, shame and fear from that time followed me around for fifteen years.

When I finally had the courage to look at my past with compassion and not judgment, a real breakthrough occurred.

Just like I did for myself, I’ll offer you tools and support to help you get to the bottom of who you really are.

You’ll learn to trust the “you” you uncover.

The way I dealt with all that shame and fear was to write about it and in the midst of writing, I had an experience that can only be described as mystical. It literally caused me to set everything aside and go head to head with my religious faith. Trusting that voice inside, I ended up walking away from the evangelical christian identity and beliefs I’d cultivated for 30 years. This radically changed the trajectory of my life: I stepped away from my legal career and began exploring other ways of seeing the world. It was terrifying but exquisitely freeing at the same time. I learned to trust myself and take ownership of my life.

Our truest self is usually not the one we see in the mirror. We have to chip away at all the false selves and identities we’ve cultivated to protect us so that our soul can finally be free. It may be the hardest, most valuable thing you ever do in your life.

I am here to help you uncover your truest self and learn to trust her, even when it hurts.

You’ll experience the hidden growth that changes everything.

The thing about personal growth is that the biggest change is on the inside. It’s our mindsets, our worldviews, our thoughts and feelings, that create an entirely new paradigm for us even if nothing else in our lives is different.

For me, fear no longer controls my life. I can identify when I’m getting attached to a storyline of self-pity or anger or judgment. I’m learning to stay awake to those things that weigh me down and stop me from being the bravest woman I know.

I feel lighter and brighter and more free and aware. I have been transformed in inexplicable ways and can now see the world with more love and compassion.

I am a kinder, more patient parent and a more understanding spouse. I am more courageous in my life and am constantly letting go of the judgments I have about myself and others.

I am learning to float in the mystery of this world, instead of clinging desperately to certainty and security.

This journey has been a wild one, but I finally feel like I am living my life – and this is what I want for you.
