I'm here to tell the women of the world:

You have permission

to choose joy today.

You have permission

to choose joy today.

Do you want to make stress your friend? I help high-achieving women who are exhausted, burned out, or disconnected find clarity, permission, and peace- so they can finally live a life that lights them up, without guilt or overgiving.

I know what it feels like to hold it all together while quietly falling apart inside. Today, I guide women back to themselves- not by asking them to do more, but by helping them feel safe enough to stop doing too much. Overwhelm, exhaustion, and burn-out are not inevitable or necessary anymore.

My work blends clarity and compassion: structure for the mind, sanctuary for the heart. Together, we uncover the patterns keeping you in burnout, rebuild the boundaries that protect your peace, and rediscover the joy that's been waiting beneath the surface of it all.

Because when you feel safe to be seen, everything begins to flow again.

What activities excite you? How do you find the time!?

I am happiest when spending time with my family, and when we get to go on adventures together. I love being outdoors, whether backpacking or trailrunning, or taking trips by myself to the Pacific Coast. My gardens and fruit trees are favorite places as well. I love singing in the Portland Choir and Orchestra, and being on stage in other places. Making the time for these things in my life is essential, and replenishes my energy.
