I know this space because I've lived it.
A few years ago, I felt blindsided and betrayed by a toxic job. That experience changed the way I felt in my body, how I saw myself, how I related to other people, and how I thought about work itself.
Leaving the toxic job wasn't enough for me. I wanted to recover from it.
And I didn't want what happened at work to have power over the rest of my life or career. Only I didn't know how to actually make that happen.
So I set out to understand what happened to me from all angles and what I could actually do to reclaim what the toxic job had taken from me.
That journey, combined with more than 20 years of experience inside corporate systems and my training in workplace psychology, trauma-informed coaching, and nervous system regulation, became the foundation for the work I do today.
Because Work Is Not Family; it was never meant to function like a relationship you sacrifice yourself for.
Here's what my values mean, and how you’ll experience them when we work together.
I name the harm. I speak openly about workplace abuse and trauma, and I never gaslight my clients into making peace with systems or people that are hurting them. My work is grounded in honesty, not toxic positivity.
I create a confidential, non-judgmental space where clients can speak freely and process their experiences without fear of being minimized or dismissed. I'm trained in trauma-informed coaching and nervous system regulation, and I center those practices in every session.
I don’t tell clients what to do. I provide tools, education, and strategy that allow them to make informed, empowered decisions for themselves, even in high-stakes environments.
My coaching is about reclaiming agency — with your thoughts, your choices, your nervous system, and your life and work. I help clients define success on their terms and build lives and careers that support their well being, not sacrifice it.

I like to laugh.
I find the human experience to be fascinating.
I love my kids but being a mom is only one thing about me.
I believe we can reinvent ourselves whenever we want.
I ask A LOT of questions. Always have.
Sarcasm is my love language.
I did not come this far to only come this far.
Helping others navigate and recover from toxic jobs gives meaning and purpose to my own expereince and continues to help me heal.❤️
