I Know What It’s Like to Lose Yourself-
While Trying to Hold It All Together
I was married to a kind, funny, generous man. We had two amazing boys, a successful real estate business, multiple properties, and a vacation home. On the outside, it looked like the dream. But behind the scenes, I was drowning.
My ex struggled with drinking for years. I kept hoping things would get better. I went to therapy, Al-Anon, and every group I could find—looking for the magic answer to fix him.
​
But what I didn’t see at the time was this: I was losing myself while trying to save someone else.
​
I became the peacekeeper, the over-doer the woman who could hold it all together—until I couldn’t. I didn’t know what I wanted anymore. I just knew I couldn’t keep living like that.
​
Eventually, we separated. And in the wreckage, I found something I hadn’t felt in years: space to breathe. Space to ask, “What do I want?”
​
That moment changed everything.
​
Who I Help
Today, I coach women who are exactly where I was:
​
-
In a relationship with someone who drinks too much
-
Tired of walking on eggshells
-
Sick of second-guessing themselves
-
Afraid to leave, but even more afraid to keep living this way
​
They don’t want fluff. They want real support. They don’t need fixing. They need a path forward.
That’s what I offer.
​
How I Coach
I won’t tell you what to do. I’ll help you figure out what you want—and how to get there with strength and self-respect.
​
I coach with compassion, but I don’t sugarcoat. I will fight for you when you doubt yourself. I will hold space when you’re unraveling. And I will call out the patterns that are keeping you stuck—because that’s what real support looks like.
​
This isn’t about leaving or staying. It’s about finding yourself again, no matter what your partner does.
​
Why Me
I’ve lived it. I’ve done the work. And I’ve helped hundreds of women step out of emotional chaos and into calm, confidence, and control.
​
I now live with an incredibly supportive partner of 16 years. We have a dog, a cat, and a home filled with sea glass from every beach we’ve walked.
But this life didn’t happen by accident. It happened because I stopped waiting—and started fighting for myself.
​
That’s what I want for you.
​
