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 - seriously, coaching was a game-changer - 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 to find your strength to help yourself.

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.
