Working in hospice care, I witnessed immense emotional strength in others while silently watching my own begin to fray. I poured out and never paused to refill. When I transitioned into the high-pressure world of tech, I thought a change of pace would help—but the anxiety, disconnection, and emotional exhaustion only intensified.
That’s when I stopped trying to escape my pain—and started listening to it.
BUT THE BURNOUT WAS REAL...
I’ve always had a deep connection to music and creative expression—it’s how I made sense of the world. That connection led me to become a board-certified music therapist, using the power of music to help others express, release, and heal. For years, I held space for others, but I didn’t yet know how to fully hold space for myself.
I turned inward and reconnected with the tools I once offered others:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, spiritual practices, and creative expression.
But this time, I added something I had kept quietly sacred: my faith.
I stopped trying to pray my pain away—and instead, began to pray through it.
Blending therapy and spirituality didn’t just help me survive—it gave me a pathway to deep, lasting transformation. And now, it’s what I offer to others.
Finding Purpose Through Coaching
Because healing shouldn’t make you choose between God and growth.
As I began to rebuild my life with both therapeutic tools and spiritual truth, I realized something life-changing:
Faith and therapy aren’t opposites—they’re partners.
But so many women have been told to “just pray about it.” They’ve been made to feel like needing support is weakness, like their faith should be enough to silence the anxiety, grief, or exhaustion they carry. And yet—behind closed doors, they’re unraveling.
I created Faith-Forward Therapy™ because I believe God works through the process, not around it.
Because healing isn’t passive—it’s active, sacred work.
And you don’t have to walk through it alone.
This work is for the women who are high-functioning but emotionally overwhelmed.
The women who are spiritually connected but mentally exhausted.
The women who feel like they’ve done everything right, but still feel stuck inside.
You are not broken. You are becoming.
And I’d be honored to walk with you as you rise.
