I struggled for years ruminating in negative thoughts, unpredictable emotions, resentment, triggers and using alcohol to deal with it all! The more I felt out of alignment, the more life was throwing me disappointment after disappointment, my health was declining, it was getting harder to deny the impacts I was feeling on my relationships, parenting and career and my behaviors were not always a point of pride. I felt stuck in many areas of my life and knew I needed a change, but no matter how hard I tried, I kept repeating many of the same patterns.

I tried traditional therapy, which absolutely has a time and place, but something was missing for me. I didn’t have a diagnosed disorder, I was told I was fine, but I knew I wanted something different. I wanted more than to just talk about what was bothering me. I wanted to feel resolved in the issues that were on my mind, get guidance on how to take more effective and actionable change toward the things I wanted and to feel like my authentic self again.

Hiring coaches for specialized areas that were key issues for me was a game changer and is what really helped me get some momentum in the changes I wanted to make. Coaching has helped me feel more connected with my truest, most authentic self than I probably ever have been and get my light back.

I loved what I had learned through my own coaching journey so much, I knew I wanted to go deeper for myself and share these tools with others. So I’ve poured my heart into learning and now hold two certifications as both a Master Method Coach and an Affective Liminal Psychology Coach.

Outside of coaching, I’m also a working mom living an hour out of Portland, Oregon.
