I’ve had a varied career as a performing artist, an arts educator, arts administrator, and now as a writer and audio fiction producer. I’ve also worked as a freelancer for a Visual Merchandising Company and as an Administrator for a CO-OP Art Gallery. Over the past 20 years, I’ve followed my instinct to work as a creative. At this point in my life, I see that creativity is a natural part of our human existence. But I wasn’t always so confident in being creative. In fact, for many years, I hid my creative abilities because I wanted to fit in, saw spending time exploring creativity as frivolous, and was frankly afraid of what others would think if I declared myself “creative.” That all changed once I discovered several books and people who not only helped redefine what being a creative was but offered proven techniques to unleash the inner creative that was ready to come out and play. We all have the ability to create!

Growing up, I had a bit of a bad attitude. I genuinely believed I was unlucky and that good things just wouldn’t happen to me. I saw other people living lives that felt out of reach, and I assumed I’d always be stuck in a version of life that felt small, stressful, or just meh. That started to shift when I learned about limiting beliefs. I realized I had internalized some deep stories about what I thought I deserved, and that those beliefs were shaping what I did and didn’t go after. Once I began doing intentional work to change those patterns, so much started to change. I landed a job I enjoy, started a career I’m proud of, and cultivated friendships that bring me real joy. These days, people even comment on how “lucky” I am, but I know it’s not just luck. It’s mindset, consistency, and dreaming on purpose. I now spend regular time visualizing, meditating, doing EFT tapping, and creating vision boards that keep me aligned and connected to what I actually want. If you were never taught to dream big or even figure out what you actually want, I’d love to help you take those first steps.

For much of my life I have suffered abuses of many kinds. Throughout childhood and marriage, I was a victim of domestic abuse. It was so bad that I didn't know who I was anymore. I'd lost myself. But, since pulling myself out of those abusive relationships, I have found a new me. I have worked very hard, and continue to do so, to find balance, find substance in connections with others, and enjoy life. I have complex PTSD, so I know how hard it is to manage daily situations without becoming dysregulated and overestimated. Throughout these last years, I have been able to shift my mindset around my self worth and started living as who I really am. It has made a huge difference in my life to reclaim my authentic self and set goals to enhance my & others lives. Maybe I can help you start to find who you really are too. Let's chat.

I believe in the power of mindset and intentional living. Over the years I've used tools like vision boards, affirmations, and positive self-talk to shift my perspective and create real change. I've learned how powerful it is to get clear on personal values & priorities, and how freeing it feels when your actions align with your beliefs and goals. Self-reflection and taking ownership of your self-worth is all part of building the vision and future you want. Its not about being perfect, but about trusting yourself and honoring what matters to you, and going from there. If you are curious about manifesting, need help clarifying your goals, or just want some encouragement as you grow, I'm here to listen, support you, and cheer you on.

As a kid, my therapist told me I forgot I existed. Today, I know I didn't forget, because I never knew in the first place. I spent a long time building an identity I could be comfortable in, only to see it fall apart. So I started over, using everything I could salvage and all the knowledge I gained from my last one, I built something much stronger.
