I quit drinking December 7, 2012 and discovered that, although I was 41 years old, I didn't really know what the heck I was doing in some basic areas of my life. I decided to learn about and understand what I needed to know to feel like a successful human. That evolved into me becoming a certified life coach so I could help other people do that for themselves too.

My goal is to help you learn about and understand yourself better, figure out what works for you, and help you live it every single day.

If this sounds appealing, take a look around my site and feel free to contact me with questions. I offer affordable 1:1 coaching for both personal and work challenges.

As an experienced life coach, I've helped many frustrated and overwhelmed people take action toward understanding themselves and making their lives better. Life is tiring, painful, and confusing when you're living with old outdated ways of doing things that don't work anymore- it's like wearing shoes that don't fit. Every single day.

Here's what you can expect when working with me:

1) Exploring Your Patterns: Together, we'll talk through the ways you typically do things and see what works and what doesn't. I'll help you learn how to notice and self observe so you can make the changes you want to make. Having a judgement-free place to do this self exploration is awesome! It frees you up from trying to be perfect, hide, or over-correct and lets you learn and do the work.

2) Learning Self-Compassion: I'll guide you in developing a nurturing relationship with yourself, helping you overcome self-hatred and self-judgment. You'll learn to treat yourself like someone you love. We'll work on your self talk to make it more encouraging, understanding, and supportive.

3) Building a Healthy Relationship with Life: We'll work on practical strategies and practices. You'll have self trust instead of self doubt, you'll feel worthy and capable- whether life is going great or things are hard.
