The Truth I Had to Learn the Hard Way
For years, I was everything for everyone else. I thought my power came from doing more, showing up strong in every role — at work, at home, in my community. On paper, I had it all together. But underneath? I was running on empty, believing my worth was tied to what I did, not who I was.
Until the year everything fell apart.
I lost my job. People disappeared from my life. And I was left with a question I'd been avoiding my whole life: Who am I when no one's watching? When there's no title, no role, no external validation?
That's when I discovered the answer—or rather, remembered it.
The power was always within.
No one could take it. Not the job loss. Not the betrayal. Not the systems that tried to convince me I needed their approval to matter.
Through spiritual practice, energy work, coaching, and my own journey with anxiety, depression, and neurodivergence, I discovered what I now help other women remember: Joy, peace, and power come from within. Your body and spirit already know the truth. It's just your mind that needs to be convinced.
That realization led me to create Empowered Within.
Now, I coach and mentor women navigating their own seasons of transition and transformation—drawing on both my lived experience and my training in ICF and Gestalt methodologies. I guide you to reconnect with the unshakeable power that no one—and no circumstance—can take from you.
You are not broken. You are not behind. You are remembering.
What I Believe
I believe that true transformation happens when we honor the whole person — mind, body, and spirit.
I learned the hard way that true transformation happens when we honor the whole person. When I lost my job, I couldn't think my way out of burnout because my body was depleted. I couldn't set new goals because I was disconnected from my purpose. That's why I know firsthand that healing requires all three—mind, body, AND spirit.
Healing and alignment begin within. You already have the wisdom and strength you need. My job isn't to fix you—it's to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can pause, reflect, explore and reconnect to your truth with honesty and compassion.
My Approach
I bring both professional training and spiritual alignment to our work together. With credentials in ICF and Gestalt methodologies as my foundation, I integrate:
Mentoring that honors your lived experience and inner knowing
Gestalt principles that see your whole self—mind, body, and spirit
Body wisdom practices that help you trust what you’re feeling
Spiritual guidance rooted in alignment, not doctrine
I help women reclaim the power you've been searching for or what you need—the power that's been inside you all along. Whether you're 20 and stepping into adulthood, in your 50s and stepping into your next chapter, or a parent guiding your young adult through their transition, I meet you where you are.
In our work together, you won't have to explain, translate, or code-switch. Your full identity is seen, honored, and celebrated.
Beyond the Work
In my free time (yes, I take some!), you’ll find me:
Spoiling my Boston Terrier (my constant companion and office supervisor)
Cheering way too loudly for the Tennessee Vols (Go Vols!)
Savoring a good glass of wine with great conversation
Laughing with friends until my face hurts
Because alignment isn't all serious work — it also includes joy, connection, and the moments that make life worth living.
