When you release “I’m not enough” and all forms of self-doubt, you step into your power and joy.
I believe that in some way, we are all held back by self-judgment, uncertainty, and doubt.
I also believe our wounds can become doorways to healing—and that every one of us is capable of living the dreams of our heart.
We all know what it’s like to self-sabotage.
To procrastinate.
To numb out or check out in ways that don't really serve us.
But what if those patterns aren’t failures?
What if they’re invitations—to go deeper, to get curious, and to finally break free?
For me, it was a paralyzing fear of being seen.
Not socially—I'm talking about the real me.
In my family, sarcasm and ridicule were the native tongue. Vulnerability wasn’t safe.
So I learned to hide. To smile, blend in, do well—but never really show up.
It looked like safety. But it became my prison.
It took years of inner work—through coaching, hypnotherapy, and deep healing—to finally release that fear and step into visibility with self-trust.
And now, I want to help you do the same.
Whatever’s been holding you back—it’s not the end of your story.
You are worthy of being seen.
Worthy of feeling beautiful.
Worthy of creating a life that feels free, joyful, and real—on your terms.
I came into the world wired for spirituality.
I earned my BA and MA in Theology, but I soon realized that organized religion was not my truth. I earned another BA in Nursing but understood that traditional healthcare did not resonate with my calling. I wanted something deeper. I needed to go further.
A near-death experience at age 23 awakened in me an insatiable longing to journey home to my inner wisdom. I yearned to move past knowledge and into experience.
And now I help others do the same.
"Healing doesn’t happen by force—it happens by bringing light to what was hidden."— Carl Jung
Believe this:
Your situation is not hopeless. You’re human, and you’ve learned some unhealthy ways of protecting yourself. Those protective patterns once served you, but now they’re blocking you. You are running old patterns. And those patterns can be changed.
As a board-certified clinical hypnotherapist and holistic life coach, I help people move beyond frustration and finally create the change they’ve been chasing.
Early in my practice, I worked with coaching clients who showed up fully committed, courageous, and ready to grow. But even with all that effort, something was missing. The results came, but often slowly. I could feel we were bumping up against something deeper.
That’s when I realized: we weren’t reaching the subconscious mind.
That insight changed everything.
I went on to complete over 500 hours of clinical hypnotherapy training through the Hypnotherapy Academy of America, and continued advanced studies with the Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute, Marisa Peer’s Rapid Transformational Therapy, and Dolores Cannon’s Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). I’m board-certified by the International Board of Hypnotherapy, and now use hypnotherapy as the foundation of nearly every client session.
Because quite simply—it works.
With Loving,
