I see the whole picture.
My background in nursing taught me to look beyond symptoms and understand the whole human.
I honor the body.
Healing lives in the nervous system. We work with your body, not against it.
I believe in choice.
You are not your past. Every pause is a chance to choose differently.
I walk with you.
This isn't about fixing you. It is about building a life that feels like yours.
My story
The nurse who became her own patient.
I learned to read a room for danger before I learned to read a book. That vigilance made me an exceptional nurse. It also nearly cost me my life. Then came the day I became the patient in the white hallway who couldn't remember her own name.
I have been the nurse reading the chart and the patient inside the chart.
Both sides of it are what I bring to this work.
If you learned early to hold everything together on the outside while something old ran the show underneath, then you already know this story. You lived your own version of it.

I don't coach from a podium.
I coach from the floor I once found myself on, now standing.
I know exactly how it feels to understand everything and still be stuck, and I know the way through was never one more explanation.
Insight alone doesn't always interrupt the pattern.
You need someone who has walked it.
My work is LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive of all identities and relationship structures.
Background
What I bring into the room.
-
The credentials.
BSPH, BSN, RN, and Certified Trauma Recovery Coach, practicing through Conscious Coaching Collective, PLLC. Nursing taught me to read a chart, a body, and the room around it, and I still work that way.
-
The lived experience.
I’m a registered nurse who became the patient, and a survivor of a narcissistic abusive relationship. My memoir, Addicted to Trauma, is the story of what it took to stop running the patterns that almost killed me.
-
Coaching, not therapy.
This is trauma recovery coaching and education: present-and-forward work on patterns, regulation, and what you build next. It isn’t therapy, diagnosis, or medical treatment, and it never pretends otherwise. If you’re already in therapy, coaching walks beside that care.
-
The podcast.
I host The Patterned to Purpose Podcast, where these conversations keep going out loud, one episode at a time.
-
All of you is welcome.
My work is LGBTQ+ affirming and inclusive of all identities and relationship structures. You don’t have to edit yourself to be here.
-
The method.
The Conscious Creation Method, built from the inside: Awareness, Regulation, Creation. I ran it on myself before I ever taught it to anyone.
The Method
The Conscious Creation Method, in three stages.
I built it from the inside, first for myself and then for the people I coach.
-
A · Awareness
See the pattern.
Name the loop while it runs: what sets it off, what it protects, what it costs.
-
R · Regulation
Build the pause.
Give your nervous system a way to settle before the old response takes the wheel.
-
C · Creation
Make something new.
Choose on purpose, then build the life that follows from the choice.
What drives this work
Five things I believe
- Human beings are adaptive, not broken. Every pattern was, at some point, the smartest available move.
- Patterns are intelligent responses to lived experience. They are not your identity.
- Insight alone doesn't always interrupt the pattern. Lasting change needs a new experience in the body.
- You don't have to be ready. You have to be willing. And you don't have to do it alone.
- The destination isn't perfection. It's remembering who you are.
Getting started
From here, it’s three steps.
-
Book the free call
Thirty minutes, no script, nothing to prove. You talk first, and I listen for the pattern underneath.
-
We pick the container together
Private work in the ARC Program, a small group in the Conscious Creation Cohort, or the free monthly room. I’ll say plainly which one fits, and the choice stays yours.
-
Then the work itself
Weekly, in company, with your nervous system in the room. Insight turns into practice, and the loop starts to loosen.
Healing is possible.
You don't have to do it alone. Explore coaching, or start with the story: the memoir is out now.
