Years ago, I went from singing professionally and running a successful video productions company to being silenced by stage III throat cancer. The diagnosis was devastating, stripping away not just my voice but also my sense of identity. I began to withdraw from people, losing my inner voice and spiraling into feeling silenced. This took a toll on how I saw myself and began to harm my relationships and my careers, adding another layer of pain to an already challenging time.

​​

I hit the bottom after having surgery and the insertion of a trach and decided to make a change. With what was only a shell of my voice left, I began to speak publicly again. Slowly but surely, good things started to happen. My relationships began to flourish. I felt more connected, more relaxed, and I let go of the crippling belief that I wasn’t enough. 

​​

This year, as I prepare to celebrate my 37th anniversary and continuing to run two successful businesses, I look back and see a journey of resilience and renewal. The highs of reconnecting with my spouse and the triumph of professional success stand in stark contrast to the lows of my uncertain days.

As a Coach and Authorized Gottman Institute Facilitator of Marriage Workshops, I've channeled my experience into helping others. I’ve helped hundreds of kind hearted people, navigate conflict and find their voice in their relationships, even during conflict.

With relationship coaching, I work with deeply caring women who have given their best years to their marriage but don’t feel like equal partners. They are often afraid to speak up because their partner gets defensive, turning conversations into fights. 

​​

I help these women find their compassionate, strong, loving voice. I teach them to communicate effectively without triggering themselves or their partner, fostering deeper, more meaningful conversations and reigniting the spark that has been missing. Through my coaching, these women transform their relationships and rediscover their own strength and value.

With business coaching, I help solo entrepreneurs stay strong when their inner voice is telling them they aren't good enough, redirecting imposter syndrome. We work through the art of attraction marketing and narrowing your niche, and standing out for who you are, not only what you do.
