From being labeled an “at-risk student” in the “house program” in high school to earning a PhD with a 4.0 GPA, my educational journey has been one of resilience, determination, and transformation. As a first-generation college student, I turned the pain of surviving eight years of childhood sexual abuse into my own path of healing and success.

Now, I’m here to guide you through your educational journey, offering confidential, compassionate support to survivors pursuing any educational path. Whether you’re navigating the complexities of going back to school, aiming for higher education, or tackling the barriers that may seem insurmountable, I’m here to remind you that the strength you already have will carry you through.

You don’t have to fit a specific mold to be successful. You’ve survived more than most, and that’s a testament to your grit. Let’s work together to unlock the next chapter of your story—one that reflects your power, potential, and ability to create a future you will be proud of.

Parenting and relationships are tough enough without the weight of past trauma. Add in how our past experiences continue to impact us today, and it can feel overwhelming. From regulating our own emotions to helping our kids do the same, from needing to be heard—often by our partner—to struggling with trust because of old wounds that aren’t aligned with our present reality, it’s a lot to juggle.

And no matter how hard we try, sometimes we accidentally repeat the same mistakes or struggle to break free from generational trauma. It’s a challenge many of us face. But you don’t have to navigate this alone.

I can help you discover who you truly are on a deep level, build love and compassion for yourself, and set boundaries that foster healthy, connected, and fulfilling relationships. Because, at the end of the day, isn’t that what we all want? Real, deep relationships where we’re loved for exactly who we are? I think that’s an easy yes!

Oooof, money… did your stomach just drop? I get it. I come from humble beginnings—brought home from the hospital to a trailer with a hole in the ceiling above my crib patched up with a garbage bag. My biological father passed away in 2020 with a net worth of about $500. That’s right—$500 to his name.

Coming from a financially unstable past and stepping into a world where you’ve never seen financial security can be downright terrifying. But here’s the thing: I’ve been there. I’ve paid off $130,000 in student loan debt, bought a home on 40 acres, live debt-free (except for my mortgage), own and operate a private practice, and have built financial stability.

If I can do it, so can you. I can help you stay accountable to your financial goals and give you straightforward, no-nonsense strategies for achieving financial success. Let’s break through those barriers and create the financial future you deserve.
