I Don't Just  Understand Transitions.








I've Lived Them.

I understand how hard it is to go through a major life transition.Whether it’s the end of a long relationship, a career that’s burned you out, or an identity that no longer fits…

I know how disorienting it can feel.
Because I’ve been there too.


I don’t simply help women through transitions because I read about it in a textbook.
I help because I’ve lived through the mess... and found a way to move forward with wisdom and strength.




I’m a licensed clinical therapist and certified life + business coach.
I’ve spent years helping women navigate transition, heal anxiety, rewire self-doubt, and move through overwhelming emotions with clarity and compassion.

I use evidence-based tools and expert strategies to help women get unstuck—and stay grounded through big changes.

I’ll never tell you to “just think positive” while your world is spinning.

Instead, I’ll show you exactly what to do when you can’t see past tomorrow.
How to breathe through uncertainty.
How to rebuild your confidence… step by step.





I didn’t become a therapist just because I had it all figured out.
I became one because I didn’t.... and I needed to rebuild from the ground up.

From the moment I turned 13, life started handing me challenges.
And I’ve had to figure out how to adapt, heal, and grow through them ever since.

I moved constantly as a child, which taught me how to survive change.... even when I didn’t want it.
I watched my mother fight Lupus with quiet grit.
I lost my father suddenly at 45 and learned what it means to cherish every fleeting moment.

At 40, I entered therapy for the first time.
Not because everything was falling apart (though it kind of was)…
But because I realized: surviving wasn’t enough anymore.

I was depressed. I hated my life.
And I believed that being “strong” meant doing everything alone.
(It doesn’t.)

An 18-year marriage ended in a messy divorce.
I found myself questioning everything: who I was, what I wanted, and how to even begin again.

Oh, and there was an 8-year on-again, off-again relationship with a narcissist that nearly broke me wide open.
(Spoiler: I’m still standing. Stronger than ever.)

Through it all, my family has been my anchor.
They are the heart of my life.

Add in my very opinionated pup Chloe, a few unshakable friendships, and a journal collection that could qualify as emotional archeology… and you’ve got the fuller picture.




After becoming a therapist, I quickly realized:
Traditional therapy wasn’t giving women what they truly needed in times of deep transition.

Women don’t just need to rehash the past.
They need real-world tools to rebuild the future.

They need someone who can say:
“I’ve been there. I’ve made it to the other side.
And here’s how you can too.”
