My life has not been an easy one and while I have studied mindset, psychology, and behavioral science, my greatest training has come from the experiences and obstacles I have overcome in my life. 

 

My father was an alcoholic who left our family when I was 10 years old, leaving me to be raised by a narcissistic, mentally, emotionally, and physically abusive mother. My father was still a part of my life, although inconsistently, until his alcoholism finally got the best of him and he took his own life when I was 28 and pregnant with my first child. My brother, who had ended up leaving me and my mother to live with my dad, followed in my father's footsteps to go on to become an alcoholic and drug abuser and ultimately also take his own life as well.

 

Life with my mother was a very difficult one and throughout her constant abuse, I tried everything I could to be the "good child" and gain her love but her disdain for me was too strong, and at 17, I was kicked out of the house, leaving me homeless. During this time, I suffered from debilitating anxiety and depression.

 

I have always wondered what has more influence on a person and their choices...nature or nurture? It is an interesting subject for me because I seemed to have been dealt a pretty shitty hand but I  never let my circumstances dictate my future. ​I instead threw myself into the world of self-help and psychology, studying every principle and theory I could find in pursuit of creating a better life for myself. 

​

I overcame my anxiety and depression and went on to create a beautiful life for myself including starting several successful businesses and meeting a wonderful and stable man who I was married to for 22 years. I was also able to break the cycle of abuse and become the loving, nurturing mom that I never had, but had always longed for. 

 

Unfortunately, the tragedy in my life continued when my husband died suddenly in 2017, leaving me to raise my kiddos on my own with absolutely no family or support. Once again, my faith was tested but the insight that I have gained throughout my life has allowed me to once again persevere and stay strong to my commitment of creating a wonderful and harmonious life. 

​

If you are looking to hire a "perfect" coach, that is not me.  I am by no means perfect and I still struggle with issues from my past...I wouldn't be human if I didn't but the issues that I struggle with are also the same issues that are a catalyst for my work as a coach. I am obsessed with examining emotions and creating tools and techniques to help process these emotions and I am confident that these tools and techniques work because they are what have allowed me to not only survive but thrive through the countless obstacles and tragedies in my life. 

 

I understand that I have faced some obstacles that many people have not faced and may not be able to relate to but I also understand that we ALL face obstacles and issues in our lives that affect our ability to create the life that we want. 

 

No matter what you have faced in your past or what you are facing now, I am confident that I can help you to uncover the blocks in your life that are affecting your ability to create the life you want. I am so proud of the work that I do and I am passionately dedicated to helping you create a beautiful, happy, and harmonious life!
