I am a wife, a mom, a certified teacher with experience teaching 1st grade through college, a homeschool veteran, a writer, and a front-porch dreamer (that’s where you can find me if Ohio weather permits).

I am also certified as an Emotional Health Life Consultant through The Compassion Method.

I work with all people who are tired of their pain and hoping to reconnect with their true selves. Your background and beliefs are important, but they will never be as important as YOU. And no story is too scary or outside the transforming reach of compassion. I mean that.

I began this journey of reconnecting with my true self because I was desperate for transformation. I was frustrated about the way I was showing up as a mom, a wife, a sister, a friend, an educator, and a homeschool parent.

I am an adult, but you might not know that if you witnessed me when I was sad, scared, or lonely. I had been living life in a triggered state. And, honestly, I was embarrassed. I am a Christ-follower, and I understand what I’ve been redeemed from, but the disconnect between what I know to be true and who I really am was like a great chasm. What I learned was that I didn’t need fixed. I needed compassion.

If you are a parent, struggling with the shame of repeating generational patterns

…or a young adult, caught between honoring your unique design and the demands of culturally defined success

…or an angry, anxious person who feels disqualified from real peace

…or an educator who values teaching emotional health

…or a homeschool parent who understands that learning to understand emotions is a cornerstone to all learning…

I’d love to meet you.
