I am a dog mom to the most lovable and handsome blue nose pit bull named, Chino. 😊 I'm passionate about wellness and prioritizing mental health, and enjoy exploring any hobbies surrounding that - I love yoga, I'm getting more into meditation every day, and walking in the park or along the beach is one of my absolute favorite things to do. By the water is where I am most at peace.

I became a widow at 28 years old, which not only required processing a world without the love of my life and the future we planned together, but it also meant having to grapple with letting go of who I was before losing him. I had very little hope for the future before being guided through my own life coaching process and rediscovering the new version I was becoming. I was so deeply inspired by the renewed hope I experienced, that I couldn't think of anything else I'd rather spend my time and energy on than helping others find hope and meaning, too.

This distinction is important! Life coaching is NOT a replacement for therapy. In my opinion, it is a compliment. Therapy can be essential for processing emotions and identifying potential conditions that require medical intervention. It is largely focused on past patterns and evaluating why we feel or behave the way we do. Life coaching is forward-focused work that can help identify true desires for the future and design a plan for how to get there. I am not a licensed medical professional. I am a certified life and grief coach and draw on my lived experience to support you from a place of shared understanding and mentor-based guidance.

For those in need of grief coaching, I offer 1:1 sessions that hold space to understand, process, and discuss how grief shows up and affects our lives. These sessions are completely personalized to the needs of the client. There is no timeline, or number of required sessions, though I do recommend at least three sessions for best grief integration.

As for life coaching, I currently offer a 1:1 signature program with focused guidance through 12 sessions. The program covers 11 specific topics through a 3-phase process: phase 1 starts in the park - rediscovering who you are and what is important to you. Phase 2 shifts into neutral, redefining the life you want to create for yourself. Phase 3 shifts into drive, rebuilding the future you desire and deserve. It's a powerful process that assists in the transformation that life after a significant challenge/loss can have.

For now, I am seeing clients virtually. However, I'd love to eventually take in-person clients in Lewes.
