I'm not a therapist. I'm not "healed." I'm someone in the trenches who shows up to work anyway and has learned what actually works versus what sounds good in theory. If you work in libraries, social work, nonprofits, education, or any helping profession while dealing with your own mental health struggles, trauma, or recovery—I get it. The imposter syndrome. The triggers at work. The exhaustion of performing "fine." The guilt about boundaries. I'm here for real talk, practical strategies, and validation that you're not too broken to do this work.

I know what it feels like to dream of building something meaningful while battling self-doubt, financial worry, and the isolation of going out on your own. As a single mom, entrepreneur, and coach, I launched my business with limited resources and plenty of imposter syndrome whispering, “Who am I to do this, you don’t have your stuff together to run a business”. Over the years, I’ve navigated uncertainty, shifted from nonprofit and criminal justice work into full-time entrepreneurship. It is not easy but taking it day by day has helped me focus on the here and now. My lived experience has taught me resourcefulness, transparency and the importance of community support. You are not alone in these feelings, don’t let fear of success keep you from your dream.

For the ones clocking in every day but wondering if this is really the life you want. When work feels unfulfilling, when promotions never come, or when the only thing keeping you there is the pension you’ll collect someday—it’s hard not to wonder if you’re wasting your potential. You see other people building things that excite them, living lives that make sense, and you can’t help but think: Why not me? Maybe you’re curious about starting something of your own but don’t think you have the money to make it happen. Maybe you’re torn between stability and freedom. Or maybe you just need space to admit what you already know—this isn’t working anymore. I’ve been there—starting over, broke but determined, turning what I could do into what I wanted to do. Now I help creative, multi-passionate people find resourceful ways to turn their skills, stories, and hobbies into income streams they never thought possible. You don’t need to have it all together—you just need to start where you are.

For much of my life, I struggled with imposter syndrome—feeling like I didn’t truly belong in spaces where I was achieving success. Despite my experience, accomplishments, and talents, I would often second-guess myself, thinking I wasn’t “enough” or that I was somehow faking my way through life. It wasn’t until I took a deeper look at my own fears and doubts that I realized how much of it was rooted in a deep sense of perfectionism and the unrealistic pressure I’d placed on myself to always be “the best.” Whether in the professional world, in relationships, or in my personal journey, I often found myself wondering if I was capable of truly owning my worth. Through years of self-reflection, counseling, and embracing the imperfection of growth, I’ve learned to identify the triggers of imposter syndrome and use them as stepping stones toward building authentic self-confidence. It wasn’t an overnight shift, but through acknowledging my doubts and learning to quiet them, I slowly started to embrace my true self without needing to be perfect. If you’ve ever felt like you were “faking it” or that you don’t deserve the success and opportunities in front of you, I’m here to help you break free from those self-limiting thoughts and walk alongside you in embracing the truth of who you really are.

Back in 2014, I wanted to be able to work from home because I had 3 kids at the time and wanted to be around more for them. I had some experience working as an instructional designer and creating online courses for students at the university I graduated from, as well as a degree in Mathematics. So I decided to take those skills and find people who needed short term help on projects or others who wanted a freelancer to do some overflow work from time to time. My first freelance job only paid $50 for probably a full days work, but it helped me begin to get an online reputation for quality work on a freelancing site. Soon I had a longer term contract that paid fairly well, and slowly was able to work my way up to several regular clients and consistent part time work. During this time, I learned how to negotiate for higher rates, manage client expectations, and when to turn down job offers, as well as juggle multiple projects, and market myself effectively in the freelance world. Over several years, my clients became increasingly better quality, and I was able to begin working full time. Now I have an employee myself, so that I can pass off extra work to him, and I have been through the hiring process several times since I worked with independent contractors as well. Most of what I have learned came through trial and error and running things by my husband who has served as my business coach. I also talked to a small business development center to take things to the next level a couple of years ago.

Leaving graduate school early, job loss, poor fits - all traumas I've had to navigate through. Whatever nebulous point represented my dream career now has a circuitous route to get there. Add to that the mental toll that professional, financial, and social shifts take on our well-being, especially when we don't learn "corporate speak" in school! I'd love to share ways that I've handled these setbacks - such as becoming a content creator - as well as practical ideas for job seeking. As important as our careers are, they don't represent our entire identity.

I’ve spent much of my adult life in pursuit of a creative career — primarily as an actor — but that journey has often required side paths, pivots, and full-on reinventions to make ends meet or rediscover momentum. Along the way, I’ve tried everything from retail and logistics to graphic design, real estate, web development, and even full-time programming after completing a coding bootcamp. Some of these paths stuck longer than others. Some didn’t go the distance. But each one taught me something about resourcefulness, resilience, and what it means to choose a life on your own terms. At the heart of each shift was the desire to support myself in ways that felt aligned — to earn a living without selling out the core of who I was. That wasn’t always easy. Learning new skills as an adult — especially under financial pressure — takes grit. And while I often carry a deep belief in my ability to learn and adapt, that doesn’t mean the fear of making a wrong move wasn’t real. What’s helped me most is learning to tune into my gut: regularly checking in and asking if where I’m headed still feels like home to me. I’ve come to see that the only real mistake is staying stuck in something that no longer reflects who you are, just because it once did. Perhaps the biggest lesson has come from my forays into real estate investing and entrepreneurship — ventures that reshaped how I relate to money, risk, and possibility. They helped me shed a scarcity mindset and embrace one of potential. I’ve learned not to regret the things that didn’t pan out. Every attempt taught me how to pivot with love instead of fear. And even when circumstances forced my hand, like when a lucrative startup job collapsed beneath me, I found ways to turn disruption into opportunity. Whether or not I always “succeed” in the way I imagined, I’m proud to keep choosing a life that reflects who I am. That’s the kind of success I now measure by.

From October 2020 to September 2021, I was unemployed and navigating a really tough job market. To stay afloat during that time, I tapped into the gig economy and explored side hustles. I started with Shipt deliveries, then leveraged connections from college to land freelance work in PR and copywriting. Once I landed a full-time job in September 2021, I stepped back from side hustles to focus on my new role. But when I was unexpectedly laid off again (and then re-hired a week later), I jumped back in. I began freelancing in social media for a skincare brand—work I kept doing for a full year, even while transitioning into my current job in May 2023. These days, I also post my own skincare content online, which lets me combine a personal passion with creative work. I’ve learned that side hustles can be a powerful way to make progress toward your financial goals (whether it’s saving for a car, building an emergency fund, or just having extra money for travel or fun purchases). They can also be an outlet for creativity and personal interests that your full-time job doesn’t fulfill. While side hustles can be great, balancing everything takes strategy, boundaries, and self-awareness to avoid burnout. I’d love to help others find that balance and build side income in a way that feels sustainable.

I’ve navigated multiple major life transitions — moving across states, pivoting careers, managing health challenges, and building my own business from the ground up.

I bring lived experience, practical tools, and gentle encouragement to help others find their footing during big changes. In our conversation, I’ll provide support, gentle perspective, and encouragement to help you find stability and move forward in a way that feels aligned with who you are.

As someone diagnosed later in life with ADHD and identified as a Highly Sensitive Person with AuDHD and CPTSD overlap, I know how challenging it can be to operate in a world that isn’t built for sensitive or neurodivergent wiring. I’ve spent years learning how to design my work, home, and routines to reflect my real capacity — not someone else’s expectations. I bring compassion, understanding, and lived tools to help others do the same.

After more than a decade of working for myself, I’ve learned how to manage the ebbs and flows of freelancing — from navigating self-doubt and burnout to finding a rhythm that actually supports my wellbeing. As a creative entrepreneur, I’ve had to balance ambition with rest, and build a business that feels sustainable, not depleting. I understand what it’s like to juggle multiple roles, manage uncertainty, and still want to feel fulfilled by the work you do.

I experienced several mental health challenges (anxiety, depression, psychosis, mood changes, trauma, stigma) as a young teenager, and over the years, I worked hard to learn to cope with those challenges. Along this journey, I realized that I have a passion for mental health advocacy and that I genuinely want to help others who are struggling with mental health challenges. I also realized that I need a path to financial stability. These realizations inspired me to start my own mental health advocacy business. Over the years, I have learned effective strategies to help me maintain my state of mental health recovery while also running a business that has been growing rapidly. Now, I am offering my expertise to those who have lived experience with mental health struggles, so that you too, can create income streams by sharing your mental health story. Let's take the first step of turning your pain into profit, and we can book a time to connect!

I’ve built my career outside the box—shaping a non-traditional path as both a freelancer and entrepreneur. After earning my degree, I worked as a service provider for 11+ years before diving headfirst into entrepreneurship. OOver the past 5+ years, I’ve worked as a CEO, freelancer, and entrepreneur. I’ve also explored 100+ side hustles—from flipping items for profit to being paid to travel and make content around the world. Along the way, I’ve launched multiple businesses, built a private coaching practice, grown a blog with 500k+ metrics, and stepped into publishing, public speaking, and soon, releasing my book It’s Time To Manifest Your Vision. My journey shows that you don’t have to follow a linear career path to create success—you can design a life that blends passion, freedom, and impact while thriving on your own terms. But finding those terms, and manifesting it, is where we'll start!

I understand the weight of credit card debt and the stress that comes with financial uncertainty. I've navigated my own journey from overwhelming debt to financial stability, and I know firsthand how isolating and anxious it can feel when the bills pile up and you're not sure where to start. Through disciplined budgeting, strategic debt payoff methods, and shifting my mindset around money, I've learned to live within my means and work steadily toward financial freedom. It wasn't always easy—there were setbacks, moments of doubt, and times when progress felt impossibly slow. But I developed practical strategies that actually work in real life, not just in theory. Now, I'm here to walk alongside you as you navigate your own financial transformation. Whether you're dealing with mounting credit card debt, struggling to stick to a budget, or simply feeling overwhelmed by where to begin, I offer judgment-free support and can help you create a realistic strategy.

I’ve spent my life building things: companies, brands, careers, and resilience in the face of challenges. I started in music and live events, moved into Fortune 500 brand campaigns, and eventually found my calling in coaching and helping others move forward with purpose. My clients come to me when they’re at a crossroads feeling stuck, burned out, or ready to take a leap but unsure where to start. Together, we cut through the noise, get clear on what really matters, and create a plan you can actually stick to. I combine real-world business experience with mindfulness, mental wellness tools, and straight-up honest conversation. If you’re looking for someone who’s been in the trenches, understands high-pressure decisions, and can help you rebuild your focus and drive, I’m here for that.

Life hasn’t always been easy, and I’ve faced my share of struggles. Growing up as the second oldest of six kids, I learned early how to juggle responsibilities, including helping raise my older sister’s children in their early years. My own journey as a mom has had its challenges, too—infertility, pregnancy loss, and health issues like POTS have all shaped my path. But perhaps the most challenging experience was a serious car accident that left me feeling hopeless and overwhelmed. I struggled with suicidal thoughts before seeking therapy, and it was through that therapy that I was able to heal and rebuild my sense of purpose. As a parent, I’ve encountered many obstacles, from advocating for my son’s speech development to learning that a small but significant health issue—an ear bead that had been lodged in his ear for eight years—was affecting his hearing and development. Through patience, perseverance, and a willingness to explore natural and alternative solutions, I’ve learned how to face the obstacles in my life with resilience.

I have spent years helping my husband run his business, and when he follows my advice, he does well. He grows and succeeds. I am a homesteading mom of 3 with my own business while helping my husband run his.

Many years ago I experienced very physical symptoms that turned out to be manifestations of stress and anxiety. I had panic attacks in college and was gobsmacked that this was a result of anxiety. I had always been social and comfortable. I was completely shocked to learn that my body was struggling on an emotional level. I spent years learning how to manage those symptoms and had so much success doing so that I was inspired to pursue and get my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling. 25 years later I continue to deal with varying forms of stress and anxiety - but because of the skills and tools I've learned and practiced along the way - I am in a much better place to feel in control of those symptoms and help guide others who face them too.

If you tend to procrastinate, get stuck starting tasks, or lose focus halfway through, body doubling can make a world of difference. It’s a gentle, supportive practice that helps you actually do the things you’ve been meaning to, whether that’s organizing your space, folding laundry, or working through your to do list. It’s been such a supportive part of my own life, making the process of getting things done feel lighter, more enjoyable, and even connected. Sometimes just having someone with you changes everything. When you book a session, I’ll be right there with you: steady, present, and encouraging as you move through whatever needs your attention. Whether you’ve been avoiding it for days or months, you don’t have to do it alone. I’ve used body doubling myself in moments when procrastination had me frozen, and it’s been one of the simplest but most transformative tools. I’d love to hold that space for you too.

Life has challenged me in many ways: navigating divorce, raising 2 children as a single parent, experiencing job loss, and facing burnout. There were times I felt overwhelmed and stuck, unsure how to move forward amid so much change. What helped me most were honest moments of being truly heard, developing steady wellness routines, and learning to be patient with myself through the process. My experience as a doctor and trained listener deepened my understanding of how powerful it is to simply show up with care and attention. Now, I want to offer that same steady, compassionate presence to anyone facing similar struggles. Whether it’s relationship changes, family transitions, career shifts, or the feeling of being stuck,- I’m here to listen, support, and help you find your way forward, one conversation at a time
