I’ve made some of the hardest relationship decisions a woman can face—walking away from a long-term marriage after betrayal, and later ending a short-lived second marriage that I knew in my gut wasn’t right even before the wedding. In both cases, I battled feelings of guilt, fear, and confusion—especially as a woman of faith trying to do “the right thing.” I understand how isolating it feels when you’re stuck between what looks good on paper and what your soul is whispering. Whether you’re questioning a relationship, recovering from one, or just trying to hear your own voice again, I can help you find clarity and peace.

Once upon a time, I was in a relationship heading toward marriage. We signed up for a premarital class that started off great, until it didn’t. One day, he simply stopped coming. No warning. No communication. No explanation. I was left to finish the class alone. It was painful, but also eye-opening. That experience taught me two powerful lessons: first, that a partner’s consistency speaks louder than their promises, and second, that I didn’t have to dishonor myself by taking someone back who had already shown me they weren’t ready to walk with me. When he reappeared and asked to come back, I said no. And that “no” became a defining moment of self-respect. What I gained from that class and from walking away is the insight to help others discern red flags, ask the right questions, and make decisions that honor both their faith and their future. Because marriage prep isn’t just about planning a wedding. It’s about preparing for a covenant.

For a long time, I was told how to feel, how to dress, how any original idea I had was wrong. I got programmed into believing that I didn’t know what was best for me and that I sounded ignorant whenever I tried to voice my opinion. When I finally broke free of the toxicity of that relationship, I found it difficult to express myself to doctors and therapists, even friends and family, because I was so full of self doubt. I couldn’t even order food at a restaurant because it filled me with crippling anxiety. Finding my own voice has been challenging and not without setbacks. My first step in advocating for myself was learning that most people are forgiving and supportive when they are given the opportunity to be. This has helped me to gain the confidence I needed to be able to ask for help, let the person know what kind of help I do need and, most importantly, what I’d like to order from the menu:)

Sometimes we can’t pinpoint exactly why we are feeling down or overwhelmed, we just are. I understand that all to well because I experience this often. Because I have a history with depression and anxiety, I know how important it is to talk through our everyday stressors and get an outsiders perspective. I am here to listen and support you through this. I can reassure you that you aren’t alone in feeling overwhelmed and I can offer suggestions and techniques I’ve used to stay grounded in the moment.

For a long time, I’d set huge goals and then beat myself up when I didn’t reach them. I thought motivation alone would carry me, but when life hit hard, I lost steam, got discouraged, and stopped trying. I didn’t realize I was setting myself up to fail by not having a real plan. When I learned about SMART goals: setting goals that were Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound, it changed everything. I started small. I tracked progress. I let go of the idea that everything had to happen overnight. And slowly, I started seeing real change. I built confidence, momentum, and most importantly, self-trust. If you’ve struggled with staying on track, feeling overwhelmed, or not knowing where to start, let’s talk. Setting goals isn’t just about success. It’s about healing and believing in yourself again. What We Can Talk About Together:

If you have difficulty with procrastination, completing tasks, and staying focused, you may benefit from body doubling. If you have tasks that you want or need to take care of but can't seem to get started, or stay motivated throughout task completion, book your session and I will be there with you every step of the way. It can be so helpful to have someone near while you work on your To Do list, organize your workspace, or fold your laundry. Anything you need to do but have actively avoided, I am here to help you get it all done. I have used the Body Doubling method myself when my procrastination has had me 'stuck', and it has been a great help to me! I'd love to help you, too.

I used to think balance meant doing everything perfectly—being the ideal employee who never missed a deadline and the perfect parent who never missed a school event. The reality was exhausting. I was constantly feeling like I was failing at both roles, leaving work early with guilt and staying late while missing bedtime stories. I felt like I was letting everyone down while slowly losing myself in the process. The person I used to be seemed to disappear under the weight of all these competing demands. The turning point came when I realized that balance isn't about perfection—it's about making conscious choices about what matters most in each season of life. I had to get comfortable with trade-offs and stop trying to be everything to everyone. Some days work took priority, other days family came first, and slowly I learned to be okay with that ebb and flow. I also had to fight for small pockets of time that were just mine, even if it was just fifteen minutes with my coffee before everyone else woke up. What surprised me most was how my identity evolved through this process. I discovered that being a working parent didn't mean I had to choose between being successful professionally and being present for my family. Instead, I learned to integrate these roles in a way that felt authentic to me. I made peace with good enough in some areas so I could excel in others. If you're feeling stretched thin, guilty about your choices, or like you've lost yourself in the juggle, I understand that struggle intimately.

I’ve hit the 'stuck' phase more than once—feeling like I was spinning my wheels, craving change, but unsure what direction to go. I used to think I needed to have a five-year plan or a perfectly clear vision before I could make a move. Turns out, I just needed to start asking better questions and be willing to take small, brave steps. Through journaling, coaching, reflection, and trial-and-error, I learned how to listen to my inner voice instead of outside noise. I got clear on my values and how I wanted to feel in my next chapter—not just what title I wanted. If you’re feeling restless, unsure, or stuck at a crossroads, I’d love to help you sort through the noise and get back to clarity.
