My Work & Why I Do It

I decided to do this work because I know how confusing and lonely healing can feel when your entire life has been shaped by survival. Many of the women I work with learned early how to be responsible, perceptive, accommodating, or strong because they had to be. Others found themselves in adulthood repeating dynamics they never consciously chose—relationships where their voice grew quieter, their body stayed tense, and safety felt conditional.

I’ve lived both. And I’ve learned how easily trauma carries forward when no one helps you name it, trust yourself again, or understand what your body has been holding.

What I needed most in my own healing wasn’t fixing or pushing forward—it was someone who could sit with me, believe me, and help me make sense of what I was feeling without rushing my process or taking my power away. That absence is what ultimately shaped the work I offer now.

I support women who are healing from childhood trauma, neglect, religious harm, and relational or domestic abuse—not by telling them who to be, but by helping them reconnect with who they already are. Through trauma-informed coaching, storytelling, and conversation, I help women rebuild self-trust, regulate their nervous systems, and reclaim their voice after years of adapting to survive.

Writing has always been part of this work for me. Story is how many of us first begin to see ourselves clearly. My memoir, Quiet Rebellion, grew out of that truth, but the heart of my work extends beyond the page. Whether I’m coaching one-on-one, writing, or speaking, the intention is the same: to help women move from survival into choice, from silence into agency, and from fragmentation into wholeness.

I believe healing should feel steady, respectful, and human. I believe survivors deserve to be believed, not analyzed. And I believe no one should have to navigate recovery alone.

If you’re here because something in this feels familiar—because you’re tired of carrying what was never yours, or because you’re ready to live from a truer place—this work exists for you.
