As an accomplished mental health professional, I hold an MSW degree from Metropolitan State University of Denver and have dedicated the past eight years to supporting individuals in my role as a therapist. This experience has deeply shaped my understanding of human behavior and connection, leading me to recognize the profound impact our relationship with self and others has on the quality of our lives. 

Through my journey as both a therapist and a coach, I have come to believe that a secure, aligned relationship with oneself is the foundation upon which all other relationships are built. How we engage with our thoughts, feelings, and desires directly influences the way we show up in connection with others—whether in intimate partnerships, friendships, or family dynamics. Our ability to form healthy, secure attachments with others begins with how well we know and care for ourselves.

Research consistently shows that healthy and safe relationships are key to life satisfaction, happiness, and overall well-being. When we are grounded in who we are, we are better equipped to form secure, trusting relationships that provide emotional safety and mutual support. These relationships enrich our lives, helping us navigate challenges with resilience, fostering deeper emotional connections, and offering a sense of belonging.

Our early life experiences play a significant role in shaping how we relate to ourselves and others. The way we were cared for, attuned to, communicated with, and supported as children informs our sense of self-worth, emotional security, and our expectations in relationships. For many, early attachment experiences create the blueprint for how we navigate relationships, influencing everything from how we set boundaries to how we handle conflict, express emotions, or show vulnerability. It is imperative that we bring awareness to these patterns so we can make better and more informed decisions about how we show up in relation to others.

In my relationship coaching practice, I focus on helping you develop a healthy relationship with yourself and others through increasing self-awareness and the exploration of personal values, feelings and core beliefs as well as attachment wounds and styles, early childhood experiences, communication and conflict styles, relationship patterns, blueprints and dynamics. 

My coaching approach is inherently relational, recognizing that the dynamic between coach and client serves as a model for other relationships. In our work together, we co-create a safe, trusting environment where you can explore vulnerability, authenticity, and healthy communication. This coaching relationship becomes a template for how you can engage with others in ways that are empowering, compassionate, and aligned with your true, authentic self.

By strengthening your relationship with yourself, you lay the groundwork for healthier connections with others. Together, we’ll explore the relational patterns that shape your life, guiding you toward deeper self-awareness and emotional security. My aim is to help you cultivate not only self-compassion but also the skills needed to form relationships that enhance your quality of life, bringing more joy, satisfaction, and purpose to your personal and social experiences.

Join me on this transformative journey of self and relational discovery, where the relationship you build with yourself becomes the foundation for a life filled with fulfilling, healthy relationships.
