About Me

“We marry our unfinished business.”

As a trained couples therapist, I heard this saying often. But when I became an entrepreneur—building a thriving counseling practice while raising a newborn, a toddler, and holding a marriage together—I discovered a few other truths:

Your marriage will show you your unfinished business.

Your business will show you your unfinished business.

Your kids will show you your unfinished business.

My Story

Despite years of intentional therapy and study, it wasn’t until I stepped into entrepreneurship, leadership, and parenting that my growth edges became undeniable.

I found myself resentful, depleted, and boundaryless—compromising myself for the sake of others in the very business I had created. I was replaying the patterns I’d carried since childhood:

  • the people-pleaser

  • the perfectionist

  • the Hero Child who held it all together

Parenting amplified this. My children mirrored back the places I hadn’t yet learned to soften, to stay present, or to release the old narratives driving me. I realized that to lead my family—and myself—well, I needed a different way of relating altogether.

The Turning Point

That realization led me deeper. Through deep inner work and advanced training with the Healing Our Core Issues Institute (HOCI) and Relational Life Therapy, I learned to recognize and release the parts of me that were running the show.

This wasn’t just another credential to add to my wall—it was a dismantling and a rebuilding. I finally found language for the adaptive ways I had learned to self-protect, compassion for the wounds I carried, and a roadmap for living from my Functional Adult Self.

This is why I often tell my clients that a part of their journey is also becoming a student of their own development and of relationships. Before we change or grow, we HAVE to learn what works.

That shift changed everything.

  • My marriage became a place of deeper connection.

  • My parenting grew more grounded and compassionate.

  • My business stopped running me—and started aligning with who I really am.

Life isn’t perfect—but I’m no longer chasing that illusion.

Instead, I’ve found something richer: a way of living that’s functional, fulfilled, and deeply connected.

My Mission

Now, I help entrepreneurs, creatives, and intentional parents do the same.

Together, we uncover:

  • the relational templates formed in childhood

  • the unconscious patterns still shaping your decisions

  • the places where burnout, anxiety, or disconnection keep showing up

From there, we build a healthier, more grounded way of being—a new relational lifestyle—that lets you thrive in your business, your relationships, and your own skin.

Let’s Begin

This work is about more than success—it’s about freedom to lead, love, and live from a place of wholeness.
