I am the youngest of four kids from a divorced family, and growing up I saw my share of dysfunction, addiction, abuse, trauma, depression, parental neglect, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, early pregnancies, and many other difficult life situations.

​

Because of that, I spent many years working to overcome mental obstacles and unhealthy coping strategies. I learned from mistakes and bad choices, worked to rediscover my identity, built life skills, and slowly developed strength and perseverance. Over time, I found purpose and direction in my own life.

 

With everything I had learned through my own experiences, I knew I wanted to help others. At 40, I decided to pursue graduate school so I could combine my life experience with formal education and help people in a personal, custom-tailored, and life-changing way.

 

As a Human Services Counseling & Life Coaching Master’s level graduate of Liberty University, I am educated to offer several types of coaching, including life coaching, financial coaching, and mind-body-spirit wellness coaching.

 

As a coach, I work with people who want change — people who are no longer satisfied with their lives, their relationships, or the daily grind. I work with people who want to pursue their best life, overcome limiting beliefs, learn new ways of thinking and behaving, and take hold of the life they truly want to live.

 

I specialize in helping people use their struggles to build success and strength.

 

As a 2022 graduate of Ramsey Solutions Financial Coach Master Training, I am also certified to offer Financial Coaching to help clients gain peace of mind, live debt-free, and take control of their money behaviors.

In 2024, I became certified in Interactive Metronome Therapy and now work with both children and adults to strengthen brain timing and support challenges such as ADHD, auditory and language processing disorders, autism spectrum disorders, sensory processing disorder, developmental delays, learning disabilities, dyslexia, stuttering, Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury, MS, Parkinson’s, and other neurological conditions.

 

In 2025, I was certified in Therapeutic Art, which allows me to help clients process emotions, communicate through art, relieve stress, improve brain skills, supplement traditional therapy, gain self-awareness, and build confidence and self-esteem.

 

You are the hero of your own story.

 

I am simply the guide.
