My Story
When I was little, I was labeled shy, sensitive, bossy, and was told that I also had a big heart. These traits became part of the identity I created for myself. They morphed into shadow qualities (or pieces of me that I tried to hide from the world), but little did I know that they also would become my greatest gifts. At this point in my journey, they’ve called me to rise towards my higher self, overcome resistance, build a life that is aligned with my soul’s work, and understand that my purpose is to serve others.
I always knew I wanted to help people and this desire launched my career as an LCSW which evolved into Life Coaching when I became certified in 2021. The work that I do today originates from my own story of feeling intensely lost. After the birth of my son, I returned to work after maternity leave only to discover that nothing felt the same. I kept telling myself that I loved it and that it was just a phase but the feeling never went away. I began resenting my work more and more and I became so stressed and overwhelmed that I no longer recognized who I was. I wasn't the mom, wife, sister, friend, daughter, or social worker I wanted to be and I knew something needed to change. This was absolutely one of the hardest times in my life. I thought I was depressed and I had no idea how to reignite that fire and passion that I once had. But I see the purpose in the pain now. I know that it was placed in my life for me to pause, change course, and deepen into helping others from a place of greater authenticity and much greater impact. I’ve been able to alchemize the pain and create the life I’ve always dreamed of. And I know how to help you do the same!
This is us
Today I live in Chicago with my husband, our three kids and our dog and I am deeply in love with the life we have created. If you would have told me 3 years ago that I would be able to be there for the kids’ school pick up and drop off, manage the house, dive deep into soul work, AND have my own life coaching practice I would not have believed you. But when I changed my mind, I changed my life. It’s all SO possible for you!
