"You are here to serve, here to lift, here to grace, here to give hope and action,
to give the very deep love of your soul to all those who are in need."
~Yogi Bhajan
Here I am. I hope I can be of service.
I know how hard it is to navigate the external world while feeling distraught inside - it’s difficult at best.
Having no clear path to follow...no promised end to suffering...it can feel overwhelming and unfair.
But you don’t have to face the uncertainty and overwhelm alone.
I help people evolve from this place so they can find their path towards comfort and healing.
Built upon practices of listening, nurturing, and educating, the evidence-based support that I offer my clients is proven effective for helping those with a broken heart find the path to feeling whole again - one step at a time.

As a wife and mother...I know the power of feeling like there's someone there for you.
As a trained grief specialist and personal coach...I've helped clients progress from floundering with pain to expanding with lightness.

Authentic Matters of My Heart
Few of us experience life without a significant loss of one kind or another.
And yet, so many of us try to navigate that loss, alone.
And yet, so many of us try to navigate that loss, alone.
Growing up, I became an expert at suppressing emotions - of all kinds - and it "worked" really well for me and those around me. It seemed that emotions were a nuisance - a theory that was validated by an emotionally-repressive culture.
Then, the inevitable happened...I experienced ALL the "feels" intensely after becoming a mom in 2006. The dam that had been dutifully holding back years of grief BURST wide, and I was an emotional hot mess that couldn't go it alone any longer.
No doubt, the first hurdle of learning to process emotion was overcoming great Resistance to seeking help (yes, that's Resistance with a capital R!). Once I begrudgingly tried talk therapy, over time something...shifted in me: I began to "allow" myself to participate in self-care.
That small allowance ultimately led me to become trained in Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and JourneyDance™, and to study techniques that soothe the nervous system and the "noisy" mind.
After a long and continuous journey of personal development, I am now a strong advocate of experiencing feelings fully as I believe - scratch that, I KNOW - it's the path to healing.

My personal "180" became cemented in one culminating moment: a client I had been supporting shared with me nearly every detail of witnessing the death of her ill and very dear-to-her father. It was one of the most emotionally-laden conversations I have ever had. We laughed, we cried, we sat in silence, and we hugged.
Whereas the old version of me would have steered clear of this kind of interaction, the renewed version of me was invigorated by it. There was an indescribable beauty in being a confidante in this way, and we experienced profound human connection through her story.
Following the thread of this newfound experience with grief, I sought to better understand how to support people who have experienced a significant loss.
Even though I know it was damaging for me to suppress emotion for much of my life, I am thankful for it - that pattern was a catalyst to realize how cultural beliefs hinder our emotional lives.
At the core of my work lies the art of building relationships with compassion. While it's an honor for me to be able to offer it to those in need, what I really aim to do is help people offer compassion to themselves.
My hand is open...come receive the support you deserve.
