Bio
“Oh shit,” you think. “I did it again.” You snapped and exploded at someone you love. You said yes – when you really meant no – just so you wouldn’t rock the boat. You replay, over and over, the stupid thing you said to the cashier yesterday. You got stressed out, overwhelmed, and did the Thing that you promised yourself you’d never do again. Regardless, the story remains the same: I am the bad guy. I am weak. I’m not good enough. I don’t belong. I am unlovable. Do you ever tell yourself these stories? Here’s the secret: We all do.
And here’s the next part of your story: You become the hero. You change your story, yourself, and in that process, the lives of everyone around you. You give the gift of healing for generations to come, because when change happens in even one person, its effects ripple through time and space in ways you can’t begin to imagine.
My job? I help you find the hero that walks inside you. I hold hope for you in times when you think hope is gone. And the “how” of it all? This is where you take the first step of becoming your own hero: Contact me so I can hear your story – and so we can start working together to find out where your story goes.
