That question changed everything. After years of measuring myself against milestones that were never mine, and wondering why "doing it right" still felt so wrong, I stopped trying to earn my place and started trusting myself instead.
Now I help women who carry that same suspicion, that the scripts they've been handed don't fit, learn to trust themselves again, so they can build a life that actually reflects who they are.
My story started with a question most women aren't supposed to ask: "What if the life I was told to want isn't the one I actually need?"
What happens when you stop performing a life and start building one?

quick facts:
Three years of IVF. Multiple miscarriages. A clinical, exhausting cycle of trying to force a result. My husband and I finally looked at the path ahead and realized parenthood wasn't in the cards for us.
Turns out the grief isn't just about what you lost. It's about realizing the entire map you were following doesn't have your destination on it.
Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it. The systems that told me my worth was tied to specific milestones—motherhood, marriage on a timeline, a career that looked a certain way. The pronatalism. The hustle culture that said if I wasn't producing, I wasn't contributing. The shame of not hitting the markers everyone else seemed to reach effortlessly.
I was done measuring my worth against someone else's script. Done over-achieving just to justify taking up space. Done performing confidence while secretly wondering if everyone else was right and I was the one who was broken.
So I stopped waiting for permission to live my actual life. I stopped trying to earn my place by following a playbook that was never written for me. And I started building something different. A life rooted in my own values, my own energy, and my own definition of enough.
That's the work I do now. I help women move from self-doubt to self-trust—so they can stop performing a life that doesn't fit and start building one that does.
I spent years earning my right to exist. Then I realized I never needed permission.

You don't need another pep talk. You need someone who's been trained to help you untangle the shame, rebuild the trust, and design a life that actually fits. That's what I'm here for.
What makes this different from everything else you've tried:
Clinical depth. I have a master's-level clinical background, which means I'm trained to work with shame safely, not just skim the surface of it.
Lived experience. I've been through my own deconstruct-reconstruct-integrate cycle. IVF, loss, rebuilding, choosing a path nobody handed me a map for. I'm not coaching from theory.
A real framework. Not a personality quiz or a 30-day challenge. A structured methodology that meets you where you are and gives you a way through.
This isn't therapy (though most of my clients have done that work). And it's not life coaching that hands you a vision board and tells you to manifest. It's the bridge between "I know what's wrong" and "I finally know how to build what's right."
The Identity Integration Framework is a three-phase process I built from my clinical training and my own lived experience of rebuilding from the inside out:
Phase 1: Deconstruct — Name the scripts, systems, and shame patterns that shaped your self-image. We look at what you inherited vs. what you actually believe.
Phase 2: Reconstruct — Rebuild your relationship with yourself. Reconnect with your values, your natural rhythms, and the version of you that exists underneath the performance.
Phase 3: Integrate — Design the external life that matches your internal truth. Make decisions from self-trust instead of self-doubt.

THE FRAMEWORK
Learning my Human Design and figuring out how to apply it to every aspect of my life.
(5/1 mani gen if you must know)
Current obsession:
Self-trust isn't knowing you'll get it right. It's knowing that no matter the outcome, you'll be okay.
Favorite mantra:
My cold brew coffee with a splash of cream and hazelnut and some bumpin' tunes.
Can’t work without:
Afternoon walks with the dogs out on the trail (and maybe a NCIS rerun)
How I unwind:

You've spent years measuring yourself against scripts you didn't write—about what your life should look like, what you should want, who you should be by now. This quick assessment helps you see which inherited beliefs are still running the show, so you can start separating what's yours from what was handed to you.
