I decided to become a Relationship Coach because I was experiencing so much pain in all of my relationships. I found myself entangled in connections marked by addiction, grief, blame, resentment, and painful misunderstandings. These relationships were with the people I cherished most, and I wanted to learn how to maintain a strong connection with them. This desire led me to embark on my personal growth and spiritual journey. When I discovered The Relationship School, I realized that becoming a Relationship Coach and helping others was my true calling.
As a hopeless romantic, I daydreamed about finding the perfect partner and having lifelong friendships. I poured my longing for connection into my friendships and a few romantic relationships. However, as I grew older, I learned that I held many unrealistic fantasies about what it means to be in a relationship. This pain sparked my curiosity about the essence of unconditional love. In my twenties, following the devastating loss of my high school first love and my grandmother, I began to cultivate a life that felt authentic and fulfilling. I recognized how much I had been numbing my emotions and wanted to understand not only my grief but also the years of sadness that eluded me. It was a pivotal moment when I realized how painful it was to be disconnected from my authentic self. I believed there had to be a better way to live, and thus began my search for answers. The healing I discovered in learning to embrace my authentic self is what I aspire to help others achieve through couples coaching.
During my twenties, I was also starting a relationship with my now-husband. We had known each other since childhood, and although we dated on and off as teenagers, reconnecting as adults brought new challenges. After over ten years together, we've experienced countless beautiful moments alongside difficult ones. I learned that I was missing essential tools and skills for building a truly deep and intimate marriage. This realization ignited my passion to learn how to be the best partner I could be and to cultivate a fulfilling partnership. I wanted to understand how to navigate tough moments as a team while remaining true to ourselves. My journey with my husband has been my greatest opportunity for personal growth and accountability, continually teaching me the importance of compassion and empathy for others. Witnessing the transformation in my own marriage fuels my passion for helping other couples on their journeys toward deeper connection.
For me, cultivating empathy, grace, safety, and understanding for ourselves and others is the healing we all deserve. I am deeply passionate about relational development and personal growth, and I am excited to share this path with you!
