My zany family of 4 has unique challenges that we navigate together with love, compassion and a lot of laughter. I have two daughter’s with their own learning challenges, and identity questions. My husband and I try to guide them from our different life perspectives. We are an inter faith, Inter racial, and mixed orientation couple. We feel that open communication as a family has been our greatest strength. As a family we have moved overseas and enjoy traveling together. If you need a person to help you navigate moving with your family, or strengthening your bonds through adversity, I would love to chat!

I’ve been through a lot when it comes to love, loss, and the complicated relationships that shape us. From watching my parents’ divorce reshape my childhood to losing a boyfriend in college to addiction, I’ve had to learn how to heal without shutting down. That journey led me to therapy, which helped me redefine boundaries and understand what healthy love looks like. I've also had to take an honest look at other relationships in my life—especially with my dad—and decide what I needed to step away from in order to grow. I've cut back on drinking, built a life I love in NYC, and found joy again through friendships, movement, and self-reflection. If you’re navigating heartbreak, rethinking your past, or simply feeling lost, I’d love to hold space for you. Whether it’s a bad breakup, family issues, or you're just tired of pretending everything's okay—I’ve been there, and I promise you’re not alone.

When I moved to a new city, I thought it would be exciting—but pretty quickly, the isolation set in. I didn’t know anyone, and I found myself unsure of how to meet people outside of work. I struggled with feeling disconnected and sometimes questioned if I’d made the right decision. It took effort, intention, and vulnerability to put myself out there. I leaned into networking—both professionally and socially—and slowly began building genuine connections. Along the way, I learned how to boost my confidence, show up authentically, and trust the process of forming new relationships. Now, as a certified life coach, I help others do the same. Whether you're facing a big transition or just craving stronger relationships, I’m here to help you build the connections you need to thrive.

A big move is more than packing boxes—it’s a chance to rediscover yourself. Leaving behind familiar streets, routines, and even relationships can feel disorienting, but it also creates space for growth. With every move comes both loss and opportunity: grief for what you’re leaving and excitement for what lies ahead. Transitions test your resilience, pushing you to question who you are without the anchors of place and familiarity. Yet, they also invite you to cultivate new community, explore unfamiliar landscapes, and step into parts of yourself you may have neglected. Moving can be a sacred threshold, a liminal space where the old no longer fits but the new isn’t fully formed. It asks: what do you want to carry forward, and what can you finally set down? Finding yourself through the big move means embracing uncertainty, honoring the past, and leaning into possibility. It’s not just about where you’re going, but about who you’re becoming along the way.

For the ones who packed up for a fresh start but didn’t realize how lonely it would feel. Moving to a new town or city means figuring out more than just your address—you’re rebuilding your circle, your support system, and your sense of belonging from scratch. Adult friendships don’t just fall into your lap, and the isolation can feel heavier than the boxes you unpacked. Do you feel like you want to connect but don’t know how to find your people? If you’re struggling with loneliness, unsure of what resources are available, or simply exhausted from trying to break into existing circles, let’s talk. Maybe you just need to share how isolating this new chapter feels, or maybe you want to brainstorm real ways to build friendships and find community that actually fit who you are. I’ve been through it too—relocating, working remotely, and realizing how tough it is to meet people when the usual paths to connection just aren’t there.

I was in a toxic relationship for 14 long years where poor communication and emotional abuse became a daily struggle. I often found myself trapped in codependence, unable to see the damage until it was almost too late. Gradually, I learned that I deserved better and began the hard work of reclaiming my self-worth. Therapy, group meetings, and self-help books opened my eyes to a life beyond constant hurt. I made the brave decision to move across the country, leaving behind the patterns that held me captive. Each step forward was a mix of pain and growth, and the scars of manipulation took time to heal. At the same time, I navigated other major life challenges, including being an organ transplant recipient and caring for my aging parents. Today, I share my journey to help others find the strength to break free from toxic cycles. I want to offer practical advice, empathy, and a reminder that healing is possible.

I’m an executive coach with over 15 years of experience, originally from South Africa, and I’ve lived in New York and London, giving me a broad cultural perspective on relationships. As a queer person, I’ve experienced the complexities of various relationship dynamics, from long-term monogamous partnerships to navigating the challenges of modern dating. My own journey includes an 11-year monogamous partnership in the UK, which, when it ended, felt like a divorce. Now, as someone in their early 50s, I have a unique understanding of how relationships evolve and change over time. I’ve worked with clients facing everything from heartache to infidelity, helping them understand their emotions and find practical, actionable solutions. I’ve also helped others navigate transitions—like encouraging a friend to write a letter to their younger self as a healing exercise. With the rise of dating apps, I’ve experienced firsthand what it’s like to navigate the modern dating world and all the complexities that come with it. Whether you’re struggling with a breakup, exploring your identity in relationships, or simply trying to navigate dating today, I can offer a safe space to talk it through without judgment.
