About me

Welcome! For decades, I lived with an eating disorder while also navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. These struggles weren't separate; they fed into one another, creating a cycle that often felt impossible to escape. There were times I truly believed recovery wasn't meant for me.

But I also know that recovery is possible because I've lived it.

Treatment gave me an essential foundation, but the work doesn’t stop there. Recovery is built in everyday life: learning to navigate meals, relationships, setbacks, work, and all the day-to-day moments that come with building a life beyond illness. Having support through those moments made a profound difference for me, and it's one of the reasons I believe recovery coaching can be such a valuable complement to treatment.

My approach to coaching is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in both professional training and lived experience. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all recovery. Rather than telling you what you "should" do, I work alongside you to understand what's keeping you stuck and help you develop practical strategies that fit your life, values, and recovery goals. I believe you're the expert on your own life, and my role is to support, encourage, and empower you, not to direct your recovery.

Recovery coaching doesn't replace your therapist, dietitian, physician, or other members of your treatment team. Instead, it complements it, providing practical support, encouragement, and accountability between appointments.

Recovery isn't a straight line, but I do believe no matter how long you've struggled or how many times you've started over, change is possible. If you're ready for additional support, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
