Well, we don’t have to go back quite that far. But since this age, I have been highly attuned to the needs around me. Subtle shifts in demeanor. A drop in tone. Picking up on patterns of people. Human behavior is my thing.
From the time I sat in the front row of my very first college course, “Interpersonal Communication”, I knew I was going to pursue the deep ties between communication and relationships.
I had never heard (or thought) about how to handle conflict effectively. Or how communication was much more than the thoughtless words exiting my mouth. Yet, communication was already impacting important relationships in my life.
When I landed an internship at a local non-profit teaching conflict and communication skills that transform relationships, two beliefs took root:
1. Communication has the power to heal relationships we think are unmendable
2. You have to embody the work yourself before you can teach someone else
I met a coach for the first time in 2017 and immediately begged to buy them coffee. I’m a multi-passionate gal who loves all things organized — but creative. Deep, healing work paired with necessary rest. Serious conversation and then serious fun! Coaching allowed me to wrap every way I loved to spend my time into a career serving people. Talk about bliss. Within a year, I quit my job, got certified and started my own business.
Since then, I’ve coached C-Suite Executives, overwhelmed mamas, women wanting to heal relationships with their moms, those about to retire planning for their next phase of life, men pursuing confidence and strengthened faith.
These stories have taught me this: you and me? We’re the same. We experience the same emotions. We ask the same questions. And we all want the same things: meaningful relationships, self-discovery, and a rich faith.
I’ve helped hundreds of men and women attain exactly that.
For 10 years, I’ve listened to stories and pointed to hope. All the things that make people feel uncomfortable and change the subject, I lean in. Through my own, ongoing, healing experiences, accompanied by extensive training, you can expect a warm, authentic approach to our sessions.
I spent 6 years facilitating consent and healthy relationship workshops. In addition to group coaching, I led conflict transformation trainings.
Currently, I work for Marlow where I equip managers with essential skills to become excellent leaders in their workplaces through coaching.

Every interaction we have tells a story.
How we react in a heated moment brings us back to our past experiences with others.
How we feel in a social situation reflects how we feel about ourself.
How we treat a stranger is an illustration of our relationship with Jesus.
Relationships are often a measuring stick for how fulfilled we really are.
You can find yourself (again), build relationships and have lasting intimacy with Jesus; I’m here to help you unlock just that.
